Couples with a wedding in their future can find virtually any product and service they want Saturday, Jan. 21 at the 24th-annual Bridal Inspirations Wedding Expo in Bellingham. Previously held on Sundays, Bridal Inspirations is adding an hour and will be presented from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Four Points by Sheraton Bellingham Hotel & Conference Center at 714 Lakeway Drive.
The largest bridal fashion show in Western Washington, featuring more than 100 dresses, will start at 4 p.m. in the hotel’s ballroom. The show will include bridal gowns and dresses for bridesmaids and mothers, plus suits and tuxedos for men, all in a variety of sizes.
Also, a Justin Alexander Trunk Show will be presented from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. A representative from the New York designer, known for combining couture style with affordability, will consult with those making appointments through Alicia’s Bridal, 360-733-2563.
Bridal Inspirations features more than 50 businesses that offer services for weddings and other special events, including photographers, venues, florists, caterers, hair stylists, spas, event coordinators, officiants, rental companies and more.
“Brides, families and friends will sample hors d’oeuvres and wedding cake, sip champagne and talk with top experts,” said Pam Reed, show organizer and owner of Alicia’s Bridal and The Formal House Tuxedos in Bellingham. “Not only will they enjoy the day, it will be an efficient use of their time to meet so many vendors in one place. And by moving to Saturday, nobody will miss rooting for the Seattle Seahawks if they reach the NFC Championship game!”
Advance tickets are available before the day of the show for $15 at www.bridalinspirationsexpo.com. Tickets cost $18 at the door. Children 8 and younger are admitted free. For more information, call 360-733-2563.
A portion of the proceeds from Bridal Inspirations will go to the ALS Association in memory of Les Kooistra.
