Top Wedding Professionals to be Featured at Orange County Museum of Art's Wedding Artistry 2006

For those planning a wedding and wanting to know what the top trends will be, bridal shows are probably the best tool soon-to-be weds can use because they are able to speak directly with the professionals, see samples of their work, and get an idea of what costs are involved.

One local show couples should plan on attending is Orange County Museum of Art’s Wedding Artistry 2006 to be held on Sunday, August 20 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Admission is free.

With more than 75 participating companies representing the finest names in Southern California, Wedding Artistry 2006 will help couples enjoy planning and personalizing their wedding with a variety of unique ideas -- from fine stationery, personalized party favors, floral arrangements, linens, and more, all in one convenient location.

“What a better way to plan a special event, than to attend a special event,” says Adina Gallade, the Museum’s director of site rentals and catering.

“Brides-to-be should bring their wedding planners and calendars with them to the show so they can book appointments and services with some of the professionals that will be in attendance.

I encourage couples to arrive early in order to accomplish as much as possible and spend quality time speaking with the various exhibitors.”
