IF you’re in the midst of planning that special day, and the decisions on colours, theme, flowers, stationery and photography are just getting too much for you, then it’s probably time to head to Caroline Springs.
WestWaters Hotel and Entertainment Complex will become a sea of white, tulle, ribbons and lace on Sunday 9 February when it hosts a wedding expo with a difference.
Event organiser and Caroline Springs photographer Brenton Spiteri said brides-to-be and their grooms can take time out of their hectic schedule and visit the expo which will offer stalls and information on just about everything to do with weddings including venues, travel agents, videography, photography, florists, cakes and stationery – with the added bonus that all stallholders are locals.
“Seventeen hundred people visited the expo last year,” he told Star.
“This generated a lot of business for suppliers … and almost everyone got work from it.”
Brenton said the day not only offered couples the chance to organise their wedding, but also an opportunity to donate to Heartfelt – a volunteer organisation of professional photographers from all over Australia dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature births, or have children with serious and terminal illnesses.
He said all donations on the day would go to the very worthy charity and help give comfort to families struggling with tragedy.
The expo will begin at 10am at WestWaters Hotel and Entertainment Complex, 10-20 Lake St, Caroline Springs.
