SANFORD — Getting married? Planning that dream wedding? Perhaps a big, formal wedding is in the offing. Or smaller, more intimate nuptials.
Folks planning matrimony can get some ideas Sunday during a Wedding Expo at the Town Club, sponsored annually by the Sanford-Springvale Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber of Commerce President Rick Stanley said the event is popular, not only with prospective brides and grooms looking for everything from gowns and tuxedos to lighting and limos – but to others looking to line up a venue or caterer for a special event.
According to the online wedding magazine called “The Knot,” though casual weddings have been the order of the day for the past five years, that is changing.
“But we love that some couples are taking their wedding style in the very opposite direction with lots of opulent details, like a champagne tower, multi-tier cake and dramatic entrance,” Lauren Kay wrote in a story headlined “10 Hot New Wedding Trends for 2015.”
Brides get into the event free; guests pay $5.
Stanley said the event will feature vendors including gowns and tuxedos, florists and catering, music and lighting, jewelry, limousines, travel options, invitations , banking services and those providing a variety of venues.
A florist is offering door prizes consisting of a flower package valued at $250; a caterer; and a chocolate fountain.
The Town Club is located on the fourth floor of the Sanford Trust building, reachable by elevator, at the corner of Main and Washington streets. The Wedding Expo is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday
