Wedding industry pro Meghan Ely remembers the moment she knew she had to launch bridal event Wedology 101: the Reality of Being a Bride, set for next Sunday, August 15, from 1-5pm at Wyndham Virginia Crossings in Richmond.
"I had a stressed out bride fall ill just before cocktail hour," she recalls, "and it was then that I realized, that there had to be another way."
After years of planning and research, Ely pulled in wedding planner Jennifer McBride of McBride Events, and thus bridal workshop Wedology 101: the Reality of Being a Bride was born.
"I recognized the need immediately," says McBride, who has between herself and Ely, have planned 700 weddings. "Meghan and I have seen it all, and we’re ready to share what we’ve learned."
In addition to the bridal seminar, brides will have the opportunity to ask their pressing questions to a panel of hand-selected wedding experts including Wyndham Virginia Crossings, Choice Entertainment, Classic Party Rentals, FloraCulture, Celebrations and The Cordial Cricket.
The afternoon will end with a reception featuring the latest in trends of the season. Food and beverages will be provided, as well as swag bags for the first 100 brides. "Been There, Done That" Brides will also be on hand to answer questions from the bride’s viewpoint.
"If brides can walk out of the event saying ‘I can do this,’" says McBride, "then we’ve done our job."
