Vista Lights Fashion Show, Thursday November 19, 2009

We are really getting excited about this years Vista Lights, Bella Vista Bridal Fashion Show. We are going to be showing off some awesome dresses this year. Our models have been coming in to get fitted over the last week. This show has become so popular with the crowds and models that we even have attracted out-of-state models for this years show. We are so happy to have the chance to show off the talents of our Dress Designers and stylists. We are partnering again with local businesses including Celebrations Rentals and Big Time DJs. If you were there last year, this year will be even better. If you missed last year, don't miss this year.

See the link below for pictures of the show from last year.

BREAKING NEWS: The new issue of Carolina Bride was dropped off at the store today, and we're excited to see that ALL three of the featured brides got their dresses at Bella Vista Bridal, including Jennifer (Fairfax) Spurrier who appears on the cover. We enjoyed working with all of them and they all looked wonderful on their wedding day. We'll put some pictures up as soon as we can get our hands on them. Watch for updates. As of yet they have not updated their website to the new issue, although that could change at any second.
