Bridal Spectacular in Las Vegas is This Weekend
Las Vegas Wedding Network co-founder Debra Hansen is holding her 37th Bridal Spectacular this weekend at Cashman Center. Over 160 wedding professionals are participating at the event in order to meet close to 1,000 brides expected in attendance. This will be a spectacular event with a new feature of “Inspiration Avenue”. A whole aisle of wedding trends, designs, and themes being put together by many Las Vegas wedding network members. From the minute the brides, grooms, and family members walk through the Grand Entrance they will know they are in for something special.
We encourage all LVWN members to tell their brides about the show, they will appreciate your letting them know about this opportunity to plan their wedding in a two day event. We hope all wedding professionals will also stop by and say hello! Sign ups for the January show will start at this event. Visit Bridalspectacular.com to purchase tickets for $10 online and $15 at the door.

For those of you who expressed interest in being on a committee at the May meeting, we appreciate your desire to serve and will be looking to add new people to commitees in November. Our next committee meeting will be in June.
Cinco De Mayo Las Vegas Wedding Network Event was a hit!
Everyone had a great time at the LVWN event held on May 5 at View 215. The speaker Colleen Wheeler of Wedding Festivals in Greenville, SC shared a timely topic in her seminar on “The Richest Man Who Ever Lived” based on the book by that title. It was interesting to hear how Solomon’s wisdom still applies today!
Enjoy this animoto from the event and join us in July for our next meeting at Aliante Station where we will feature a panel of brides sharing with you what they learned in the process of planning their wedding.
