Yesterday the only bridal shop in Charlottesville hosted its annual bridal show. It was held at a local country club (can't you tell by the wallpaper in the photo above?) and lasted most of the afternoon. Robin, Joey, Stephanye and I all went together, and although I know they enjoyed the "fashion show" I caught Steph more than once at the cake tasting table. :) Below is a photo of the girls taking a break from all the vendors.
Life as a country club member has to be rotten. Since it was over 70 degrees in Virginia, we got to sit outside and enjoy the sights of the mountains.
A lot of the vendors were really great but the majority were WAY out of our price range. There was one photographer and a wedding coordinator that I absolutely loved and was devestated to find that I did not win their door prizes. Unfortunately we didn't win ANYTHING, but a nice lady from a local florist let me take a pink and green bouquet home. Maybe she thought it matched my outfit. :) We did get to sample some fabulous food and met a caterer from a local resturant whose menu looks delicious (and for me, that's saying a lot). The restaurant serves only South African food but they cater a lot of everything (especially Italian - I want this event to be a starch fest).
So although a good bonding experience with the girls, we didn't get much out of the day. The runway show was fun though - they had models of all different shapes and sizes. And all three of the dresses I loved from the salon were featured so Steph got to see them in person. All and all - it was worth the free admission.
