As we are getting ready for our Bridal Show and Extravaganza to be held at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida, I can not help  but to wonder what the new generation of Brides are looking for....In the past it was Destination Weddings, mostly to tropical destinations, cruise ship weddings, again tropical, all inclusive resorts, shall I say it? again tropical....These are definitely wonderful destinations, but the trend is changing. Now brides are not afraid to admit that a wedding  is not just a showy process to transition into a new lifestyle, instead, it is the culmination of a lifelong dream...a dream of being a Princess who has found her Prince Charming....The Fairytale is very much alive, and, I am happy to say, that Romance is back!

Romance....it conjures up images of walking hand in hand in the City of Love: Paris...or on the French Riviera...How about the Fairytale?..castles and palaces in Austria and Germany along the Romantic Road......riding in  horsedrawn carriages in enchanting places....Still think these are mere dreams? Not anymore.....they are very much a reality...the reality of the new trend,....the trend of Love and Romance and Fairytales...Dreams that really come true!

I can make it happen.....
