It was a feast for the senses at Blue Chip Casino, along with WeddingDay Magazine, on Sunday as they held the fifth annual Bride Blu bridal expo. Anything that a soon to be bride would want could be found at the vendor booths. Whether in the market for flowers, catering, or finding that perfect dress, it could all be found at Bride Blu.
The doors to the expo opened at noon and the fun continued for three hours. During that time, there was never a dull moment as hundreds of people poured in to meet the vendors. Also, it’s safe to say that if any of the attendees came with empty stomachs, they didn’t leave that way. There were all kinds of delicious catering services showing off their wares.
“This event gives you a good chance to see what’s out there all at the same time,” said Anna Bross and Ben-David Armstrong, a young couple that will be wed soon.
“It’s a really good visual perspective of what it could look like, and you get to compare all the different vendors out there in one go,” they added.
Aside from the spectacular vendors and delectable food offered, the crowd was treated to a bridal fashion show put on by A Paris House of Bridal and Blushing Brides on 17. This was a chance for brides-to-be to see their potential dresses in person.
“We want to show everyone that Blue Chip can be a on-stop shop for brides,” said Angela Gaghan, director of sales and catering for Blue Chip Casino.
“Bride Blu is a great chance for the vendors of the region to come in and showcase what they offer,” added Joel Giannetti, marketing manager for Blue Chip Casino. “It’s also a great way for people to find out that they can utilize Blue Chip as a full service facility at an incredible value.”
Hair and makeup was done by Spa Blu, the stylists at Blue Chip Casino. The Casino went above and beyond to give brides a leg up in planning their big day. Blue Chip offers services that you could ever need to take you down your path to that momentous occasion. Everything you could want from the bachelorette party to even the wedding itself and everything in between can be found at Blue Chip Casino.
Denise Crowel, editor and publisher of WeddingDay Magazine, said this has been "a really big year for brides. 2014 has really kicked into full speed in the bridal world. You can see that by the steady traffic we’ve had all day, and Blue Chip has been a great host.”
Crowel went on to say that this was the most attended bridal expo they’ve had yet.
With all the great thing Bride Blu had to offer, it’s pretty clear that a great deal of brides got connected to the right vendors for their joyous occasion.
