For those of you who attended The Northwest Georgia Bridal Showcase, there was plenty to see for brides-to-be on Sunday, January 25, 2009 at The Forum. The annual event spotlighted a range of wedding items, from the latest in dresses to all-inclusive wedding packages.

Over forty vendors were on hand to offer attendees a look at the products and services available on wedding essentials. The area’s finest vendors were showcased and available to answer questions: photographers, entertainment, invitations, florists, salons, event locations, caterers, planners, videographers and so many more! Several unique services were present to show brides how a wedding can personalized: Calligraphy by Anita offering hand written calligraphy and Lovely Doves of Rome who features dove releases.

Designed to help couples easier plan their big day, services and business from Rome and all around were on hand to answer questions and offer advice on how to plan weddings that fit their own personal styles. Nearly everyone with a sweet tooth took advantage of the wedding cake samples provided by several local bakeries including The Honey Moon Bakery, My Tiers of Joy, and Special Cakes by Sara.

Bringing more fun to the showcase was Ashley of Atlanta Rock Photography. Ashley setup a “self portrait” studio so everyone could express themselves in front of the camera. Ashley was one of several featured photographers including: Highlights Photography, In Focus Studio, Patrick Blount Photography, Rainwater Photography, and The Reason Photographers.

Emceed by Jim & Karli from the “Morning Q”, attendees saw an unforgettable fashion show hosted by local bridal shops: The Top Hat Formal Wear and The White Dress. The runway featured an array of beautiful wedding & bridesmaids gowns, tuxedos, bouquets, and children’s formals. 

Thousands of dollars worth of door prizes were given away during the fashion show including a beautiful strand of pearls by Massey’s Jewelry. Two anticipated awards were announced at the conclusion of the fashion show. Our “Bride’s Choice Award” by popular ballot went to the Harvest Moon Cafe and our “Best In Show” went to Sincerely Yours.

The Reason Photographers: for any exhibitor searching for ideas for their booth or if you are considering participating in the 2010 Showcase, here is Chris & Allie. As a newcomer to the NWGA Bridal Showcase they went all out dressing up their 10X10 space and even created a time lapse video to show off all the work they did. Enjoy:

For our second year, Scott Productions organized and produced another successful showcase. Close to 200 brides-to-be from all around the area attended the Northwest Georgia Bridal Showcase, held Sunday January 27 at The Forum in downtown Rome. With the grand announcement of “Here come the Brides!” the doors opened at 1PM and the arena was suddenly filled with excited chatter as soon-to-be brides and grooms, with their friends and parents, visited the numerous vendors of all aspects of a wedding.

Some of the area’s finest wedding services were showcased and available to answer questions: photographers, florists, formal wear, caterers, invitations, party rental, limousine, reception facilities, videographers and so many more!

On stage, brides and their guests got close up views of the latest in wedding attire during the lively fashion show at 3PM presented by “The Top Hat Formal Wear” and “The White Dress” both of Rome. The audience was entertained by unforgettable fashions featuring an array of beautiful wedding & bridesmaids’ gowns, dresses, tuxedos, and children’s formals.

Our incredible emcees for the fashion show included the very lovely Karli Morgan of the Q102 “Morning Q” and a very special guest host Justin Brown traveling all the way from Birmingham, Alabama. Justin has been a great friend of Michael & Amy (Scott Productions) since the late eighties.

The wonderful stage setup was created by “Action Rent All” of Cartersville and “Bussey’s Florist” of Cedartown. It was absolutely the best stage design in the history of the showcase.

During the fashion show, thousands of dollars in door prizes were awarded including a weekend getaway package to “The Claremont House Bed & Breakfast”.

The showcase concluded with the anouncement of “The Bride’s Choice Award” being awarded to “The Honeymoon Bakery” by popular vote, and “The Best in Show” being presented to “My Tiers of Joy” determined by our impartial judge. Congratulations to both of these great exhibitors!

Scott Productions thanks many sponsors for their support that contributed to the continuing success of the Northwest Georgia Bridal Showcase: Q102 Radio, Action Rent All, Bussey’s Florist, The Top Hat Formal Wear, The White Dress and The Claremont House.

If you are a wedding related service or business and considering participating in the 2008 Showcase, here are some the highlights from last year’s event:

The 2007 Showcase was Scott Productions’ first year organizing and producing the event. The Showcase resulted in 228 registered attendees and 50 exhibitors.

An incredible honeymoon package to St. Thomas courtesy of “I Do For Brides” magazine was given away to one lucky bride along with round-trip ground transportation and airfare provided by “Corporate Travel & Transportation”. Thousands of dollars worth of great door prizes were also given away by the exhibitors.

“Sincerely Yours” was awarded “Best In Show” by our panel of judges and received a certificate for a free booth for the 2008 showcase. “The Harvest Moon Cafe” was voted “Bride’s Choice Award” by the attendees and received a 1/2-off certificate for their 2008 booth.

The beautiful stage design was created by “Action Rent All” and “Horseleg Plantation Country Club”.

After the glamorous fashion, show made possible by “Top Hat Formalwear” and “The White Dress”, the showcase concluded outside in front of The Forum with a dove release coordinated by “Lovely Doves of Rome”.
