Limo Tour Helps Brides Plan Their Dream Wedding!

The Bridal Academy Sponsors (The Wedding Place, The Monogram Shoppe, and Megasound) wanted to thank brides and their guests for being part of the first “Bridal Academy Tour” on February 28th. This inaugural event was jam-packed with bridal education, tours, great treats, and a limo expedition thru Downtown Fort Wayne.

The event was a huge success with the help of many Bridal Academy Supporters including the New Shoe of a Different Color, Club Car Limo, One of a Kind Events , Andy Pauquette Photography, Fort Wayne Chocolate Fountain, Elegant Cakes by Carolyn, Lillian Rose Flowers, Hampton Inn FW-Southwest, Merle Norman, Bob Mutton Party and Tent Rental, and Orchard Ridge Country Club. With their help, the brides enjoyed several wedding presentations, sweet delights, helpful planning literature, bridal bags full of special gifts, and much more.

The Sponsors are already working on the next Bridal Academy Tour for 2010. Details will be available as soon as a date and plans are finalized, so check back often to our site for information on this upcoming event as well as the spring 2010 sessions of Bridal Academy (for 3-18-10 entitled “Brides Choice” and the “don’t miss” wrap up on 4-8-10 titled “Bridal Pampering”).
