Your Day Trust Spring Wedding Show 2006
Another Very Successful Show
(See photos on my Photos Page)
Fashion Parade Hosted By CTV's Gorgeous Kate Kouloubrakis. (left).
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!
A lucky couple won
a fantastic
“The Spring
Wedding 2006 Wedding Package “.
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 !
