Solano 888 Organizes Premier Bridal Fashion Show // Long Beach Convention Center

On June 9^th, 2013 Solano 888 Productions had the great honor of exclusively filming and organizing the Premier Bridal Fashion Show at the Long Beach Convention Center, for the very FIRST TIME! The theme was the glitzy and glamorous retro era of “The Great Gatsby”.  This was no small feat – hundreds of real brides attended the show, along with their closest family and friends! 

 

Black lace, fine gold china, and fresh white orchids filled the Solano 888 booth, paying homage to the great style of the 1920’s. Black linen napkins adorned with pearls and a chic table setting added to the old world vibe. Fine crystal glassware and a retro bar setup added even more to the opulence! Thanks to Solano 888's Event Stylist, Nancy Adams-Friedman for her attention to details. Vintage items were provided by Etablir Vintage Rentals. Flower arrangements designed by Una Yeh of Kissing Bees.
   

 

 

 

Brides-to-be who attended the bridal show were treated to the latest trends from the bridal world: photo booths, wooden palette backgrounds and accessories, vintage props, the latest in bridal wear, and glamour, glamour, GLAMOUR! Vendors ranging from DJs, hotels, florist, to hairstylists and make-up artists offered the guests free make-over and showed off their goods.   

The brides and their families were easy to spot as everyone was given cute, playful stickers that read “Bride!” or “Mother of the Bride”/“Father of the Bride”. This was a fun, energetic crowd that was ready for the awesome prize giveaways that were featured. Did we mention that $1,500 cash, a bridal gown, and a trip for two to Santa Barbara and Las Vegas were offered at the show?! Not to mention loads of “Gift Certificates” from different participating vendors. The lively emcee from Renowned Events, Michael Taylor, did a great job and kept the energy level HIGH! The entrance line was so long at times that it wrapped around the building!
     

The Solano 888 team also had the privilege of executing the entire fashion show, which included handsome suits in charcoal and black by Vera Wang sponsored by Men’s Wearhouse, with slick hair straight from the 20’s styled by Salon 5150.

 

The bridal gowns that walked the runway were Gatsby-inspired courtesy of Mary Me Bridal– tons of intricate lace, beading, with gorgeous and sexy back cutouts -- but beautiful and perfect for the modern bride of today! The addition of red, dark lips and retro look by Arte of Make-Up and custom-made bouquets by Mon Joli Bouquet only added to the beauty of the gowns and the theme.    

Also introduced for the first time at the bridal show was Solano 888 Productions’ newest package, the “Jennifer Package” in honor of it's newest member of the team, Jennifer McKinney. This package is perfect for the couple that needs “On-the-Day Coordination” for their wedding. The Jennifer Package includes a couple of face-to-face meetings, timeline and itinerary production and distribution, event management and coordination for 8 hours, and much, much more!
