I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the following headline on Stuff.co.nz:

“Fake bridal show scams thousands…

Scammers in the US set up a website advertising a fake bridal show billed as the "biggest and most extravagant" and used it to steal from thousands of brides-to-be and their vendors, who were lured by chances to win ‘fabulous gifts and prizes’.”

How cruel can these crooks be?

As the organizer of 2010 Wallaceville House Wedding & Bridal Show I totally understand how shocked and let down these poor US brides and their families must be. I want the attendees at the 2010 Wallaceville House Wedding & Bridal Show to be inspired, challenged, encouraged, pleasantly surprised and boosted in their confidence to put on the best possible wedding.

It’s less than two weeks away now so the excitement...

Come to that, how will you remember it? After all the planning and all the work you want to slow down your Big Day. Don’t let it flash by… take time... breathe… look at all the faces… smell the flowers… savor the details… imprint it all in your memory… and take lots of great photographs!

But hey, most of all, enjoy it. Have fun… after all it’s your Big Day.

That’s why we are making sure the 2010 Wallaceville House Wedding & Bridal Show on Sunday March 14th is going to be a lot of fun too. You will love the atmosphere as you swing to the crazy sounds of “Spuds” Jazz band and drool over designer wedding gowns. You’ll be inspired by Kapiti’s famous cake makers, “Kiss and Bake Up” and be amazed by special exhibitors like “Big Mac Slabs” who make unique “wedding seats” inscribed with the name of the Bride and Groom. You will be inspired with tons of great new ideas… and reminded of some great old ones too.

I would like to extend my personal invitation to the Best Boutique Bridal Show you’ll see in Wellington...

“Hi there Lynne,

I have just spoken to Jane at Wallaceville House who was very lovely to deal with. She suggested that I email you as you are away at the moment. I am contacting you in regards to being an exhibitor at your next bridal show. We have currently only done the bridal show in Palmerston North and it was there that Astra Bridal suggested we approach you.

We are based in Otaki where we have two stores and are soon to open a third in Waikanae where we will shift our production to. I am a qualified Baker by trade and specialize in Decorated Cakes having done thousands of cakes over the last 18 years. We have also been supplying all the cakes to Ruth Pretty Catering, TVNZ’s Good Morning show & Bellamies for some time now and have had...
