“We are very pleased to be offering a fun and unique contest for brides,” said Charles Gray, director of sales for Kent County Tourism, coordinator of the bridal showcase. “Like all social media, the use of Pinterest is growing, and the fact that brides can utilize Pinterest as a wedding planning tool is a bonus that could result in prize winnings.”
The showcase will feature a designer cake competition judged by brides, strolling fashion shows, food samplings, seminars, a groom’s lounge and cooking demonstrations. More than 30 local wedding experts from gowns to venues and services will be on hand in an intimate setting, and $3,000 in door prizes will be awarded. Delaware State News is the exclusive media sponsor and published the showcase guide.
