Brides, grooms, mothers, ring bearers and bridesmaids flooded the
George R. Brown Convention Center during the Bridal Extravaganza Show January 11th and 12th. More than 400 companies set up shop in booths to hand out flyers and coax brides into signing contracts to book venues, photographers or florists, make appointments for consultations and even sign up for pole dancing fitness classes. The stars of the show were the caterers and cake designers. Free samples of cake, wine, and sweet party favors had brides and their guests grinning from ear to ear. PHOTOS BY MOLLY DUNN.
