For the fifth year, the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting its annual Trussville Bridal Show Jan. 8 from 2-5 p.m. with more than 30 vendors from the Birmingham area.
The vendors will gather to offer a sample, taste or preview of their product or service to brides and their guests to help plan their dream weddings. Additionally, brides are admitted free with a paid guest. Admission is $5 per person, cash only.
“Brides-to-be, as well as vendors, will appreciate the smaller, more intimate setting of the Trussville Civic Center,” said Diane Poole, the executive director of the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce.
Poole said 50 to 75 brides usually come to the bridal show, all in different planning stages of their wedding. Family members and interested couples also attend.
For a bride-to-be who wants to get to know a local vendor on a personal, face-to-face level, this is an event that allows the time to talk in-depth with that particular vendor. Poole said she hopes to have vendors from as many categories of wedding planning as possible.
Confirmed vendors include It Works, a body wrap and skin care vendor; Putting on the Ritz, a wedding DJ service; Flowers from the Heart with floral arrangements; Complete Cleaners; Fran Aldridge, a Trussville Realtor; and two hotels, Courtyard by Marriott and Hilton Garden Inn.
“We sometimes get new chamber members from events like this when businesses see all the events our chamber coordinates,” Poole said.
Other activities will include a fashion show, makeovers, food and door prizes.
Tickets are available at the Trussville chamber office and at the door the day of the event. A list of vendors are on the chamber’s website. For more information on the event, call the chamber at 655-7535.
