The Wedding Show at the AACA Museum:
Something Old…Something Blue
February 20, 2011
Plan to be a part of the wedding show of the season here at the AACA Museum in Hershey. Our beautiful facility houses “Something Old”, with its world class display of antique cars, buses and motorcycles. It is here that will be showcasing dozens of Central PA’s best wedding vendors, from caterers and photographers, to bridal attire, cakes and so much more!
Commonwealth Caterers will be there!
This year, the show will feature traditional favorites including a bridal fashion show presented by Taylored For You Bridal. Back by popular demand will once again be our annual Cake Dive, where ten lucky brides will be chosen for their chance to find a wedding ring in a huge sweet frosting covered confection in order to win some great prizes.
“Something New” to the show this year we invite you to become a contestant on a game show we like to call “The Nearly Wed Game”. How much do you really know about your fiancé? You can soon find out as couples battle it out for their chance to win prizes designed to help you create the wedding of your dreams.
And speaking of the guys…They will not mind their time being your “something borrowed” as they escort you to a show that allows them to also view a world class exhibits of cars, buses and motorcycles.
The first 300 brides that register will be given “something blue”…a show tote bag.
