BIC IS BIG ON ROMANCE WITH THE WEDDING SHOW
The Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) is ‘big on romance’ for 2009 with the return of the popular Wedding Show (30 January to 1 February 2009), one of the south’s largest and most varied events of its kind.
There’s something for everyone – from the die hard romantics to the time-pressured bride and groom to be - with around 150 exhibitors, as well as fashion shows, entertainment, competitions and areas where brides, grooms and their families and friends can chill out.
Almost every aspect of planning a wedding is covered – from invitation stationery to speciality cakes, cars, venues, catering, flowers, fashion and even a wedding day kilt-wearing piper and a personal trainer who can offer fitness advice.
Taking place in the Windsor and Solent Halls, the show is designed to provide brides and organisers with practical ideas as well as fresh inspiration for everything needed to make the big day extra special!
The full programme of entertainment includes daily fashion shows showing the latest designs in bridal & occasion wear and a special performance stage showcasing the talents of wedding singers and musicians. In addition, there is a de-stress zone with free mini treatments, and other specialist zones for hair, health and even one for the grooms which includes a casino to entertain those who may like a ‘flutter’.
Show visitors will also have the chance to win prizes including a party night at the lively and popular Rubyz club and a membership and personal training package offered by 1st Health Ltd of Bournemouth. And there are additional competitions and special promotions arranged by individual exhibitors from among the wedding specialists which can be seen at the show.
The Wedding Show is in the BIC Windsor and Solent Halls. Friday 30 January, 5-8pm is the preview night with free entry with fashion show, entertainment and Bride of the Year competition finals. Open on Saturday 10am to 5pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm. Admission is £5.00 adults. Accompanying seniors and children 16 and under are free.
