Vows – Wedding Euphoria
Last-minute touches were made to booths, chairs straightened and
details checked as the fourth staging of the premier wedding and
event-planning exhibition got underway. The Jamaica Bridal Expo 2015,
held at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in the second city became home
to — Friday, September 19 – Sunday, September 20 — over 40 registered
booths and table exhibitors. From fancy décor to elegant landscapes —
as well as lighting and production — the ballroom at the Convention
Centre was transformed into a bridal wonderland.
The three-day weekend exhibition provided brides- and grooms-to-be
with insider tips from world-class wedding and event planners. There was
also live entertainment by local musicians including the Bung Guh Lhung
Steel Band, vocalist Rory Frankson, the Young Jamaica Ensemble, and
saxophonist David Cunningham, to name a few. Meanwhile, fashion shows on
Saturday and Sunday featured collections from Bliss Bridal Boutique and
Earl’s Fashions & Tailoring. The highlight of the weekend was the
Caribbean Producers Jamaica Limited Capturing Precious Journeys, Dream
Wedding segment — a live wedding at 4:00 pm on Saturday for Haley Lugg
and Rodney Iznaga. The two tied the knot as their bridal party along
with 30 guests and expo patrons witnessed the ceremony officiated by
Reverend Terrance Gordon. Vows shifts gears this week to share
highlights from the exhibition.
