   Among the 100-plus exhibitors, a focus of the show
was the fashion-show stage, where models displayed
bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses and tuxedoes, and
dancers demonstrated the latest steps.

fashion-show models, but also
had its own models pose as live
‘mannequins’ in its own booth.

The doors opened at noon on
Sunday, Oct. 30, and brides-
to-be, their fiances, mothers,
sisters, and girlfriends
streamed into the exhibit
hall. More than 100 vendors
representing every specialty
were waiting to show
off their products and
services. Most important,
brides and vendors were there
to get acquainted with each
other. The sixth annual Cape
Fear Wedding Show returned to the
Wilmington Convention Center, which
first opened to the public at our show
the previous year. The Convention
Center is Southeastern North Carolina’s
only facility designed from the ground
up to host consumer and trade shows
like this one. By holding our show in this
spacious venue, Cape Fear Wedding
ensures brides will be able to meet,
greet and evaluate the widest possible
selection of wedding professionals.
