Sunday, August 30th was another successful Ultimate Bridal Fantasy Show held at the beautiful World Golf Village Renaissance Resort.
Twice a year on every January and August Greater Jacksonville Weddings with My Bridal Connection, My Bridal Magazine, and Find It For Brides, holds a spectacular Bridal Show where engaged couples come and meet the top leading Jacksonville & St. Augustine Wedding Vendors in the industry. Everything from door prizes, honeymoon give-aways, food tastings, entertainment and of course the fashion shows are just some of the highlights of the day. Be on the look out for January 17, 2010 Bridal Show, each year they grow and more exciting things are in store for brides and grooms so mark your calendar’s for next years show!
Here was a set up I thought was so pretty from the World Golf Village themselves:

Thank you to all the models who showed off all these fun wedding gowns. You all did a superb job! And thank you to the bridal stores who show-cased all these beautiful gowns, Bridals and More and Black Tie Formals.

¬†Last night was a special night for Casa Marina’s Matradee, Sterling! ¬†It was Sterling’s birthday and in honor of this wonderful and very loving & hospitable man along with raising money/presents for less fortunate children for the Holiday’s, Savage Modeling Agency, Black Tie & Formals and Erin Healy Designs came together to host a very fun and upbeat Bridal Show. ¬†
I’d like to thank Kristen Cavallo, one of my photographers who I have been training, for taking these photos! ¬†I’d say that for Kristen’s very first time photographing a fashion show, she did pretty good. ¬†Shooting in an environment as busy and hectic as fashion shows are is by no means a walk in the park, she did pretty well for a beginner. ¬†I am proud of her and am grateful that she was able to give of her time to document this show.
Behind the Scenes – Models Getting Ready for the Show:
If it wasn’t for Bridget Reedy, a very talented make up artist, I don’t know what I would have done without her. ¬†Capturing great images, yes I can do this, however, putting on make up is a whole other story!! ¬†HA HA. ¬†Thank you Bridget for making all of us ladies look smashing! ¬†
The Best Male Model in the House!!!!!  My son, Jaden!
I’d like to thank Tina Carrigg, Hair Stylist, for doing a wonderful job with my hair. ¬† Tina is a fantastic Hair Stylist with¬†Glamourous Salon. ¬†And no, I am not wearing hair extensions. ¬†Once my hair poofed out right before the show, I was so surprised at how many of the audience people came up to me pulling my hair in disbelief that this was indeed all my hair! ¬†HA HA. ¬†But I will have you know that Tina does specialize in color and extensions… so if you’re looking to spruce up something different for the holidays, Tina’s your girl!¬†
Here are my two adorable models, Jaden & Miranda!  
And now for the main moment of the evening… Introducing the man of the hour….. Sterling!
Sterling is sung “Happy Birthday” and the audience all joined with the singer in this serenade.
Drum Roll Please, the show is about to begin!
Starring the very beautiful models from Savage Modeling Talent Agency…
And now for the Grand Finale…¬†
Presenting Sterling and his “bride”
I think it’s fair enough to say that the Birthday Boy deserved a birthday kiss!!
Let me introduce you to Jan Dauth, owner of Black Tie & Formals whose some of tonight’s dresses belonged to her wonderful bridal shop…including but not limited to what I like to call the “Scarlett O’hara Wedding Gown” that I wore.
I’d also like to honor Kate (left) and Tisha (middle) owners of Savage Modeling Agency along with beautiful model, Megan (right)… all wonderful ladies and a true joy to have worked with them last night!
Thank you Kate, Tisha, Jan and all the gorgeous models for making last night’s Fashion Show a fun and special evening. ¬†All the ladies looked wonderful! ¬†
And lastly, thank you Miranda and Jaden for putting many smiles on the audience’s faces, you both know how to move a room!
