Images From the 2017 Texarkana Bridal Fair

Attendees gathered at the 2017 Texarkana Bridal Fair on Saturday, January 28, at the Texarkana Convention Center and enjoyed a fantastic fashion show. They also visited with all of the vendors to plan the perfect wedding day. This was one of our biggest bridal fairs so far.

Our vendors at this year's event said this was the "best show ever," and "it was better than the show in Little Rock," and it was "top notch."

Eric Ethridge, owner of Eric's Xtreme Video, said he, "booked twice as many weddings than in previous years." Many vendors have already signed up for next year's bridal fair asking for the same booth location.

The 490 attendees sampled eats and treats as they visited with the 65-plus vendors offering wedding attire, cakes, flowers, music, travel, photos, videos, venues, decorations, gourmet food, makeup, event coordinating, fireworks and more.

Townsquare Media and its vendors gave away tons of door prizes for cakes, baskets, cookware, concert tickets, makeup, gift cards and much more. Vendors also offered free services at the event. Eagle Dental Center whitened the smiles of several brides-to-be.

And the excitement at the Texarkana Bridal Fair was swirling throughout the room as the ladies met with different vendors to plan their wedding day.

Dillard's, Traditions Bridal and Bridal Castle provided a great presentation of dresses and formal attire for everyone in the wedding party in the fashion show.

Congratulations to our $2,000 grand prize winner, Chelsea Berbig as she poses with DJ Mario.
