BOSTON (October 12, 2005) – The more than 1,300 women of the Junior League of Boston realize that preparing for a wedding includes more than selecting flowers, invitations, and a cake. These days, it may also take require hiring a “wedding-ready” personal trainer, adopting a day-long skin care regimen, or taking dance lessons to learn the waltz. The JLB has thought of all of this and more, and they are brining it all together for one evening to help the women of Boston plan their perfect wedding. Whether engaged, thinking about getting engaged, or just acting as Maid of Honor for the first time, the JLB has collected bridal specialists that most other wedding shows miss – as well as all the standard “must haves” – onWednesday, October 19th at The Colonnade Hotel from 6-9 p.m., 120 Huntington Ave., Boston, for JLBride. In addition, JLBride will host a Vera Wang Fashion Show by L’elite and bridesmaid fashion show by Flair Bridesmaid will at 7 p.m. and Jodi R.R. Smith of Mannersmith will teach a quick “bridal etiquette” session at 7:30 p.m. If this isn’t enough to entice every bride, there will also be complimentary wine, champagne and hors d’eouvres at the mock reception as well as a chance to win a platinum and diamond wedding band from Long’s Jewelers.
