More than 200 local and national vendors will take part in upcoming bridal fairs and fashion shows in Akron and Cleveland, giving brides and grooms to be a wide array of choices for their special day.
Today’s Bride will be having shows on Sunday, January 6 from 10am to 5pm at the John S. Knight Center located at 77 E. Mill St. in Akron; Saturday, January 12 from 2 to 8pm at the International Exposition Center at 6200 Riverside Drive in Cleveland; and Sunday, January 13 from 10am to 5pm, also at the I-X Center.
Jennifer Fyffe, Vice President of the shows, says that Today’s Bride shows are amongst the largest in the state. Last year’s event in Akron was attended by more than 1,000 bride-to-bes, while over 2,500 attended the show in Cleveland.
Visitors to this year’s events can expect to see fashion shows that will highlight current trends in wedding gowns, tuxedos, bridesmaid gowns, flower girl dresses and different hairstyles and bouquets.
