Aisle o f Style THE FASHION SHOW
The Aisle of Style Fashion Show isn’t your traditional bridal fashion show. It’s fun, hip, cutting-edge, high-energy, and inspiring. Sit back and enjoy a multi-media experience as you preview the latest fashions for brides, bridesmaids, and men’s formalwear; everything from tried-and-true famous labels to talented up-andcoming designers. The Aisle of Style is the hot spot at the show. Designed like high-fashion shows you see on TV (think Victoria’s Secret, Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model), the Aisle of Style is one of the largest and most impressive bridal fashion events in the area, complete with a120-foot catwalk! The concept brings the feel of New York Fashion Week to Minnesota. Bring a pen and your program and take notes regarding your favorite looks from Angelique’s Bridal Salon, Mestads Bridal and Formal Wear, The Wedding Shoppe, Luxe Bridal Couture, David’s Bridal and Savvi Formalwear. See fashion descriptions on page 4 of the program.
Glam I Go MAKEOVER ZONE
The Glam 2 Go Makeover Zone is your chance to be pampered. Get a mini-makeover from our talented team of hair and makeup artists from Eyes and Irons who style the models for the high energy Aisle of Style Fashion Show. Artists are on hand to whip up a quick up-do, give you makeup tips, and answer any of your beauty questions during a mini consultation. Your private evaluation can encompass creating a plan for hair, makeup, or skincare to coordinate with your wedding day wardrobe. When you want to look your very best on your wedding day, the artists in The Glam 2 Go Makeover Zone have all the answers.
Every year, grooms are getting more involved in planning their wedding. To celebrate the men in the wedding party, we’ve created their very own space: Club Groom. Designed as a men’s lounge and club environment, this area is a place to relax, recharge, and reflect in the cocktail lounge while listening to the DJ spinning. This unique lounge is surrounded by luxury transportation, custom men’s attire, and rehearsal dinner options.

Old is new again. Traditional ballrooms can be transformed into urban chic environments with the right lighting and designed elements.

Scan magazines and websites for the latest in interior design, culinary, and lifestyle trends. Look at fashion patterns and colors on the red carpet or see what’s hot at the mixology bar (*hint: tequila and gin).
Don’t overpower your wedding with a specific color, instead use it as a delicate accent throughout.
New this year is Tradition—romantic voluminous ball gowns, high necklines, low plunging necklines, low deep backs, and bold patterns and silhouettes filled with sparkle. For men, it’s all about variations on tuxedos from the 1950s and 60s; and for the hipsters, suits with bold pocket squares.
Invitations and graphics take bold patterns and typography to new heights with the use of letterpress, adding another dimension with depressions and varied colors. Hand calligraphy addressed envelopes make a first impression that lasts.
When searching for the perfect venue, couples want to put their personal stamp on the space. Today, more than ever before, they have that ability through wedding tents and structures.

From specialty linens to custom linens on the head table, unique stemware for that pretty pop of color, and a mix of flatware, tabletop design continues to evolve. Instead of classic finger bowls, we encourage rolled hot towels for that first class touch.
9 10 Be Social TheWeddingGuys Use #TCBridalShow
Technology is changing the way we celebrate and share our experiences. Check out the Vidku App that allows you to host a group to share wedding preparation and wedding day video clips. This is an amazing way to see and share everyones experiences.
Create an intricate ice wall or ice ball curtain as a backdrop for a lasting impression. Floral is always wonderful at weddings, whether in mass or—at an outdoor ceremony—as simple orchids placed in tree branches.
DJ and band combos are a great way to create a musical component during the reception. Dance into the wee hours of the morning and end with breakfast or brunch. For more trend-forward inspiration, get the 2016 Wedding Trend Look Book. Available from TheWeddingGuys.com, amazon.com and select retailers. Our gift to you with a ticket purchase to the Twin Cities Bridal Show.
