Cover Shoot Day 2011

Bridal Confidential's Cover Shoot Day 2011

On our cover shoot day, our three winners met in London and had a once in a lifetime experience! Abela Photography and Anchor Video were there to capture every moment. Being escorted by Ron from Grandeur Limousine, we set off on our adventure.

We began our amazing day at Side Street Salon, where our winners had their hair styled by their own individual stylist from their area. Our London/St. Thomas winner Sophia, had her hair styled by Side Street Salon (London). Our Sarnia/Chatham winner Ashley, was styled by Total Hair & Body Care (Petrolia) and Emilynne, our Windsor/Essex winner, by Salon Attitude (LaSalle). 

Next, N U Hair & Makeup Studio (London) provided their studio and were the makeup artists for all three of our winners. The girls donned their wedding gowns and off we went touring around the city of London, having a great time and getting some fabulous shots.

The Beauty of Wedding Events

We are in the midst of Wedding Event season...

Having been to numerous bridal shows, we often see future brides only interested in the fashion show, but yet there is so much more. A bridal show is the ideal opportunity of opportunities - ALL of the vendors you need to make your day perfect are right there under one roof. Everyone from florists to limousine services, and bridal shops to banquet halls. Wedding Events have everything a future bride could ask for!

You have a chance to meet with various local businesses without spending hours and extra money driving around to visit them individually. At one point you will have to meet with these people, so why not do it now and save yourself a lot of leg work. Book appointments or meetings to further discuss what you want for your wedding.

Bring along some pre-printed business cards or name tags to leave with the vendors that you would like to have get in touch with you.


Bridal Confidential holds three fantastic Wedding Events each year!


Our events consist of all your local wedding providers, a beautiful fashion show and thousands of dollars in PRIZES to be Won!
