Without you, the Midwest Bridal Expo could not have been the great success it was. Thank you for giving of your time over the two days to present a range and quality of products to make Geraldton proud! Everything a bridal couple could need to plan a wedding was available and it was wonderful to see samples and be able to speak directly to providers and ask questions.

If you are coming down please allow enough time to talk to the bayholders and really get the wedding of your dreams. Morning and afternoon teas and lunches are also avalaible to help make the day enjoyable.

Here are some photos of the bays (click to view larger):
