The Coastal Virginia Magazine Winter Bridal Showcase was held Saturday, January 21 at The Founders Inn and Spa in Virginia Beach. Brides-to-be and their guests met one-on-one with local wedding experts and vendors. Brides could choose from a variety of ideas to help plan for their wedding, including florists, cake tastings, reception locations, photographers, videographers and DJs, catering options and gown and tuxedo styles for the bridal party featured on the runway fashion show.
Here & Now Bridal offered a pop-up shop of beautiful gowns for brides to try on and choose their wedding dress. Brides also received a swag bag with giveaways and chances to receive door prizes.
Wearing tiaras and fashionable ponchos, three brides-to-be participated in the annual Cake Dive, holding a balloon in one hand while digging through layers of cake to find a faux ring. The winner received a special vacation getaway to Sandals courtesy of CI Azumano Travel.
