You’re engaged, you’re excited and you can FINALLY start attending bridal shows as a for real, legitimate bride. Woo hoo! Well, guess what? … this fall Wine Country Wedding Professionals is presenting a bridal show that is all about you. Yes, you!
Tour d’Brides is going to let you experience Oregon’s Wine Country through the eyes of a bride. We are going to chauffer you in luxury vehicles to four of our most beautiful wedding venues: Hotel Oregon, Mansion at the Bayou, Navarra Gardens and Youngberg Hill Vineyards & Inn.
At each of these venues, you will not only see a breathtaking set-up of a mock wedding ceremony or reception, but you will also meet with the very best wedding vendors Wine Country has to offer. We will be there, not to sales pitch you to death, but to actually help you and to answer any and all questions you have about your own wedding.
And with Bravo!, Portland Bride & Groom, and No Ordinary Affair as our sponsors, how could this not be awesome?!
So on September 11th, grab your fiancé, your bridesmaids, your mother and your sister and let us treat you in style! Tickets will go on sale this June. In the meantime, “like” Tour d’Brides on Facebook and stay in the loop with all the special treats and surprises we have in store for you.
