Your Day Trust Spring Wedding Show 2006
Another Very Successful Show

(See photos on my Photos Page)

Your Day Trust presented yet another exceptionally successful Spring Wedding Show at Rydges Hotel Christchurch on Sunday 17 September 2006.

All aspects of the wedding for the bride and groom- including top reception
and venues, health, hair & beauty specialists, florists, jewelery & wedding
accessories suppliers, photographers, marriage celebrants and
wedding transport experts helped couples plan your entire day under one roof.

                         With no need to phone around for brochures, make appointments
                                   for visits or go online-there was time to relax and eave the planning in the hands
                               of the professionals while one had fun and got pampered!

                     Age is not a barrier as an 18 year old would have the same excitement
                             as an 80 year old to plan their special day! It is great to see couples
                    attend our shows from out of town as well from overseas.

For the convenience of the couples attending the show,
bridal fashion shows were held at 11.30am and 2.30pm-hosted by
ever popular-CTV Good Living presenter, Kate Kouloubrakis.
Our hugest thanks to you !

You are a star!!
Phew!!! The last moment changes....but Kate, you handled with so professionally!

Your Day Trust’s Spring Wedding Show is renown for its uniqueness
for the past 7 years. Spring Wedding Show 2006, was no exception
as branded “Designer Wedding Show” by some !

          Your Day Trust’s board members have carefully appointed Canterbury’s finest
           wedding professionals to offer their expertise to those contemplating getting married.
