The season of the brides, grooms, and weddings is upon us. Brides especially are gearing up for spring and summer weddings. David's Bridal is a company that started as a boutique in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1950. It is now based out of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. They have one store in Greensboro (photographed above) on West Wendover Avenue. However, today's "bridal" post celebrates all the start-up businesses and events in Greensboro.
One example is a magazine, available for free in stores around the Triad, called "Triad Weddings," based locally in Jamestown. The spring/summer 2015 issue (featured to the left) contains 170 pages of information about local services, venues, and places to purchase items for weddings. Tonight, from 5:30- 9:00 pm, the Elm Street Center, located at 203 South Elm Street, will host the"Marry Me Wedding Event." The area's top wedding professionals will be there. Brides who make an effort to "keep it local" now have more choices than ever. From dresses to cakes to venues to photographers to wedding planners, and so much more, Greensboro has everything from A-Z for making a wedding special... and local.
Today is ABC Wednesday and "B" is for bridal in our ABC Greensboro Local round!
Been married for 40. We push on.

I remember David's Bridal in Ft. Lauderdale. One of our daughters checked out dresses there but they were pretty expensive.

Nice to keep it local and provide employment.

I TOTALLY misread something. I thought it was Trial Weddings, rather than Triad Weddings!

We're kind of remote so keeping things local is a popular mantra. But we do have a wedding cake and cupcake maker who's very successful -- she makes and delivers cakes to a large region. Weddings are such a big business! (Thanks for visiting Sequim Daily Photo!)
