Perfect Wedding Guide’s Great Diamond Dash Bridal Show on Sunday, October 21, at the Albuquerque Embassy Suites Hotel & Spa <\/a>was a huge success!\u00a0The day consisted of a very enlightening Q&A session from local wedding experts, a New York fashion week worthy fashion show, and five lucky brides diving into a wedding cake in search of a diamond necklace. We’ve never had so many competitive brides.\u00a0 It even\u00a0turned into a cake fight!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

This show simply would not have been possible without the help of our amazing sponsors. A big thank you goes out to Embassy Suites Hotel & Spa<\/a> who hosted the event. Their professional and dedicated staff was very accommodating and assisted us in every way possible. From an intimate group of 10 to parties of 900, Embassy Suites Hotel & Spa will work with you to create the ideal setting for any occasion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We were very lucky to have the\u00a0New Mexico Wedding Professionals<\/a>\u00a0at the event schooling us on the ins and outs of planning the perfect wedding. \u00a0Empire Strings<\/a> (a local string quartet) were music to our ears. They set the lively tone of the event by playing during registration.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The fashion show was styled by Darlene with Bridal Elegance<\/a>\u00a0 and Mr. TuxFormal\u00a0Wear<\/a>. Each piece showcased remarkable examples of the hottest wedding trends to date. The looks were topped off with gorgeous bridal bouquets provided by Charlotte\u2019s Flowers<\/a>, stunning hair and makeup provided by Bliss Salon & Spa, and dazzling jewelry provided\u00a0by\u00a0Premier Designs by Kris<\/a>. Classic Party Rentals\u00a0provided the stage draping and upgraded linens, which gave the space a very alluring feel.<\/p>\n

King Mobile Music<\/a>was at the event keeping us all very entertained and informed during the Great Diamond\u00a0Dash. I have to admit it was hard to watch five lucky ladies<\/p>\n
