King's Pointe will host Bridal Showcase

STORM LAKE, Iowa -- The 2008 Storm Lake Bridal Showcase will be Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 16 and 17, at King's Pointe Waterpark Resort.

"This is the first year we have a two-day event for our annual bridal show," said Marilyn Monson, managing director of the Storm Lake Chamber of Commerce.

There will be a Girl's Night Out event on Saturday and the next day there will be a Bridal Show featuring services, products and information for each bride to make her day special.

"We are expecting around 250 including 100 brides and a good indication of a lot of interest is that our vendor booths filled up rapidly," added Monson. She said there are not that many large bridal shows like this one in the Storm Lake area and the annual event usually draws from a 50- or 60-mile radius of Storm Lake.

The Saturday Girls Night Out from 7 to 9 p.m. will be an opportunity for brides to get together with their special girlfriends, sisters and relatives. There will be special room rates at King's Pointe Waterpark Resort for that night which will include many gifts, coupons and passes.

Highlights of the evening will be a trunk show of wedding gowns, make-over demonstrations, champagne and , hor d'oeuvres. A lucky bride and her friend will win a limo ride around town later in the evening. Admission without a room reservation is $15 per person.

On Sunday, the bridal show will be held in the ballroom and ballroom lobby from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $5 per person; children will be admitted free. The showcase will feature a continuous style show of bridal gowns and tuxedos from several area bridal stores.

The hall will be filled with displays of products, services and ideas for the wedding day. Catering samples, DJ music, lodging, transportation, cake decorations and floral bouquets will be on hand as well as make-up tips, invitations, gift ideas, fabrics, jewelry and kitchen ware.

More than 20 door prizes will be furnished by businesses sponsoring the event. Any gentlemen escorting their bride-to-be will be offered a Regatta Grille coupon and can watch the game on big screen TV. For more information, call (712) 732-3780.
