AllyMcGlam: Black Bride Recap

This Sunday I attended Black Bride 3^rd Annual Bridal Show with the Blog Fab Fashionista's and we had a dashing time. The event took place at the stunning Marriot Marquis in downtown Atlanta. This year they debut bridal gown collections from famed designers, Therez Fleetwood, Brides by Demetrios, Kathy Ireland, Bryan K. Osburn and a Black Bride Collection by Therez Fleetwood. They also had some dapper Tuxedo’s on the runway by Express Tuxedo.

A very special gown was created in honor of Black Bride’s CEO, Mary Chapman best friend honor who lost her battle to cancer earlier this year it’s a very special, one of a kind “Della” gown. A percentage of the sales will go toward the American Cancer Society for continued education and research.

The prizes they gave away were amazing, prizes like a honeymoon trip to Barcelo Punta Cana provided by Barcelo Resorts and LT Travel, A couture wedding gown from Allure Bridal valued at $5000, National TV and Radio Personality Egypt Sherrod gave away a $250 gift certificate to one very lucky bride toward the purchase of a wedding gown, one lucky couple will have a chance to be featured in their very own wedding reality web-series that will air on CocoaFab.com.

The one thing that really captured my attention at the bridal show was the “Man Cave” decked out for the grooms sponsored by The Alpha Groom. I know men usually feel out of place at bridal show since most brides are so hands on with everything and already have a basic outlined wedding in their minds prior to even meeting the groom. I know for me the whole wedding was planned out by age 17 but I did not met Prince Charming until age 23. The whole event was just simply blissful for both brides and grooms. You do not want to miss the next Black Bride Bridal Show in 2014.
