Second Annual Alexandria Wedding Showcase
Zoya and Amy of Zoya's Atelier pause for a photo Sunday at the Second Annual Alexandria Wedding Showcase.
The Annual Alexandria Wedding Showcase will return Feb. 17 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center.
The Alexandria Wedding Showcase highlights the character, enchantment, and beauty of celebrating love. This year’s event is bigger than ever with more than 60 world-class vendors, a grand prize $25,000 wedding giveaway, a fashion show, demonstrations, a multicultural wedding display, and destination experts ready to lend their expertise. The event benefits Brides Across America (BAA), a national nonprofit committed to gifting weddings and wedding gowns to both military and first responders nationwide.
During the Alexandria Wedding Showcase, the first 20 brides-to-be who qualify and pre-register at BridesAcrossAmerica.com can work with a Brides Across America stylist and may be gifted their wedding gown donated by Brides Across America. In addition, $2 from each ticket sold to the Alexandria Wedding Showcase will be donated to Brides Across America.
Couples planning to tie the knot in the D.C. region are invited to take the hassle out of wedding planning as they discover Alexandria, Virginia– a popular wedding location due to its walkability, timeless history and charm, beautiful waterfront setting, proximity to DC, and easy access to many East Coast cities.
