- JEANNIE ARMSTRONG

Want to plan your wedding like a pro? Get the inside track on the latest and greatest trends on Saskatoon’s wedding scene by attending the 2019 Bridal Spectacula­r Show, presented by She Modelling. The province’s premiere wedding expo will take place Sunday, January 20 at TCU Place from 12:30 to 5 p.m.

Couples can plan every aspect of their wedding day, honeymoon and new life together in just one afternoon at Bridal Spectacula­r. Show organizer Mary Obrodovich has brought together a diverse range of exhibitors including bridal fashion retailers, photograph­ers, caterers, wedding venues, music providers, special event rental companies, limousine services, hair and make-up artists, travel agencies, fitness centres, home décor stores and more. “You can pretty much book your whole wedding at the show,” says Obrodovich.

There are always exciting discoverie­s to be made at Bridal Spectacula­r, she adds. “The Barn at Wind’s Edge is a terrific new wedding venue that will be opening in Saskatoon in early 2019. Couples can come and get a preview of this new reception centre and find out about the services they will be offering.”

Bed Bath and Beyond made their debut at Bridal Spectacula­r last fall and returns to the January show with a huge display. “It’s exciting that they are having such a large presence at our show. Couples can discover everything they need for their homes at Bed Bath and Beyond. Their experts will also help couples set up their gift registry at the show,” says Obrodovich.

New to this year’s Bridal Spectacula­r is the tasting room hosted by Boryski’s Butcher Block. It’s an opportunit­y to sample some delicious delights, and discover new catering ideas for your reception and late lunch.

Bridal Spectacula­r is also an opportunit­y for new entreprene­urs to introduce their wedding products and services to Saskatoon’s bridesto-be. “I always have new home-based entreprene­urs at the show. They have so many unique offerings that can really personaliz­e your wedding and set it apart,” says Obrodovich.

“We also have many longtime exhibitors, who are ready to share their incredible experience in the wedding industry with our brides and grooms,” she says. “Brides-nbelles, Tux & Trails, Handy Special Events and Hilton Garden Inn have been part of every Bridal Spectacula­r show I’ve done over the past 30 years.”

Selecting a wedding gown is one of the most exciting decisions the bride has to make. Bridal Spectacula­r features the latest in wedding finery for 2019, including a runway fashion show at 3 p.m., featuring profession­al models from She Modelling.

The fashion show will turn the spotlight on 50 breathtaki­ng gowns from Bridesn-belles and new trends in men’s formalwear from Tux & Tails.

Another reason to attend Bridal Spectacula­r is the opportunit­y to win exciting prizes. Each exhibitor at the show will have free draws for their wedding services and products.

All brides in attendance will also be entered to win a deluxe prize package from Bridal Spectacula­r that includes a Dream Honeymoon, courtesy of Uniglobe Carefree Travel and Palace Resorts. The seven-night honeymoon package has a value of $8,000; couples can choose from luxury Palace Resorts in Cancun or the Mayan Riviera. Other exciting prizes will also be offered as part of the deluxe prize package.
