http://www.pcwomensjournal.com en-us N/A casey@ncdbs.com Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:03:27 EST 20 http://www.pcwomensjournal.com The 2012 bridal expo is booking faster than ever. With just a few weeks to go we do not have a lot of spots left for vendors.  We are excited to see so many new businesses this year.

 From invitations, to jewelry, to cakes, there are new faces with fresh ideas. As always there are many prizes that brides can register for.

One of the most prized is a $500 gift certificate to Stewart's Jewelry store in Washington.  We are so proud to have Betty Stewart give such an amazing gift. Stewart's has been a part of the Eastern Carolina Bridal Expo from the beginning. Other prizes will include free portrait sessions for brides, free rentals and many gift certificates.  To be eligible for the fantastic prizes, brides must have a set wedding date.

As always we look forward to meeting all Eastern North Carolinas future brides and grooms. The show is Feburary 19th at the Greenville Convention Center from 1-5 pm.  There is a $5 admission at the door. .

For those who may not be familiar with the bridal expo, it is a chance for vendors to showcase their business, visually display ideas and meet potential customers.  For brides it is a great place to get ideas, meet vendors whom they may choose to hire for their weddings, and a chance to register for great prizes.  It is a win, win situation for everyone. 

 But also there are many brides and grooms that bring additional friends and family so that is an added bonus.  Normally at least 1,000 people come out to see what the show has to offer.

 For a new business and existing one, it is a way to quickly meet many potential clients and get to interact with them face to face.
For brides and grooms the bridal expo is a quick and convenient way to meet close to 100 vendors in a five hour Sunday afternoon.

The bridal expo is full of excitement. A bride and groom could potentially plan their entire wedding day in one afternoon.  The bridal show offers photographers, caterers, florist, rental specialists, dresses, tuxedos, honeymoons, cakes, D.J.'s, limos and so much more.
