Race to the Altar

If anything was to come between a Bride-zilla and her dream day it would be a Global Financial Crisis right?

Wrong. Ask these local women, who claim if anything, the race to the alter has become even more competitive as couples try to scope out the best deal. And not everyone is willing to compromise.

"It's nice to have something made specifically for you for your wedding" said Bride-to-Be Joanne who brought her future hubby James along to the bridal expo.

"You do get the occasional grooms! They come in here to poke around... I think they're more here to carry everything", said event organiser Samantha Hockley.



No self-respecting expo would be complete without a runway

With thousands of new visitors flocking to the event every year... there's no sign flashy weddings are on the way out.

"We're in our third year now and it keeps going from strength to strength".

But Local celebrant Genia Cole has seen a change in what customers have been looking for in recent months.

"I think the current economic climate has made people think about what they really want included in their wedding day... and cut out the frilly bits."



The Orange Bridal Expo is an annual event.
