The Dream Bridal Tour No. 2

We hosted our second Dream Bridal Tour yesterday for a group of ten ladies, and it was a fun and very informative day. Not only was the weather amazing, the group of girls that had signed up were so friendly and excited about their weddings. We visited many vendors throughout our tour, and here are a few photos as well as links to the vendors that participated:

For those of you who are not familiar with the bridal tour, it is something I put on twice a year. It's a bridal show on wheels where you get a more intimate and detailed presentation from each vendor, as well as many discounts through the particpiating vendors. The day went like this:

The particpiants met up at our offices on Fillmore and Pine at 10:30am, and we mingled before boarding our shuttle bus to Pres a Vi Restaurant for a lovely three course brunch. We then went to That Takes The Cake for cupcakes, before dashing across the street to Nick Brown Photography and Bella Bridesmaid. We then hopped into our shuttle to take us across town to Mizu Spa for manicure treatments and a little relaxation. After the manicures, we were taken to Shu Uemura for a demonstration on one of our brides at their world famous lash bar. We then walked across the street to our offices again to hear presentations and taste cake from Cake Coquette, hear some more photography tips from Andrew Weeks, saw custom wedding invitations from Cardgirl and custom out of town gift baskets from Woods & Company. We of course ended the day with champagne, and the girls all walked out with tons of loot that they picked up throughout the day. I learned for the next tour, I need to provide much larger bags!

It was a great day, and I really enjoyed meeting all the girls that came along. We had sisters, a mom and bridesmaids as well, so the tour was enjoyable for all. We will be announcing our next tour date by March.

Happy Planning!
