WE HAD an absolute ball at the Mid-West Bridal Exhibition which took place in Limerick Racecourse, Patrickswell.

Almost 100 exhibitors featured in the showstopper event, with a huge number of people of all ages flocking to the racecourse on the beautiful sunny Sunday morning that we were blessed with.

The day got off to a flying start with the fine crowd of people who entered the turnstile being first met with the sight of vintage wedding cars parked outside leading up to the stairs where the magic began.

Upon arrival guests were met with three magnificent floors of all things wedding - from cake stands to decorative floral arrangements, to wedding ring selections and makeup / hair stands - anything you could possibly need for your big day was available under one roof.

On the bottom floor we kicked off the first bridal fashion show just after 1:30pm, and it went down a treat! I MC’ed it and was honoured to do so.

Both male and female models strutted their stuff on the catwalk, thanks to the Holman Lee Agency, and the crowd were brilliantly receptive of the bride and grooms styles which were shown. As well as this, looks for guests and mother of the bride/groom were showcased, as were award-winning milliners.

Various boutiques were delighted to have been featured on the day and the people who attended were able to browse all the stalls between the first and second fashion show, which took place at 4:30pm.

I am delighted that this year’s Mid-West Bridal Exhibition went off so well, and I am hoping for every bit of success to carry on in the years to come.

A huge thank you to all retailers and exhibitors who participated and booked stalls to showcase their products, as well as all of you wonderful people who travelled far and wide to be there on the day and experience the magic of what we had to offer.

Chat next week!
