It was a love fest at Bridal Bootcamp 2010, held at the Arizona Biltmore on January 31.

There was so much to love– getting up close and personal with the wedding professionals, a delicious meal, a little cake tasting,  fabulous decor and bridal fashions.

“Bridal Bootcamp” was the brainchild of Victoria Canada of Victoria Canada Weddings and Events, who felt that today’s bride needs more than a handful of brochures in order to plan the wedding she’s always dreamed of.

We wholeheartedly agree! And what a great day they had!

And check out those cute swag bags Victoria put together for the Bootcamp Brides!

As great believers in WED-ucation,  Phoenix Bride & Groom was delighted to be a sponsor of this event.

Staged in an intimate learning setting (at the swanky Arizona Biltmore), vendors worked directly with brides, grooms, even bridesmaids and mothers, to share wedding planning advice.

Makeup Artists Corinna Cooke gave a talk and demonstration on skin care and wedding day makeup.

This video  by Serendipity Videography says it all. It recaps the day’s events and gives a great feel of what today’s brides need to know about planning a wedding that is undeniably theirs.

LightRain is always welcome in the Southwest.

Even more so, when  the “LightRain” is a fab photography studio that has just joined Phoenix Bride & Groom’s team of preferred vendors!

“Creating breathtaking images is my passion,” says principal photographer Lilet whose dedication to capturing the amazing moments in each couple’s wedding day is evident in her beautiful images. 

Husband Glenn is her partner in and out of the studio and together they show great creativity with this all-important milestone in a couple’s life.

We’re sure to hear much more about Lilet, Glenn and LightRain. They are certain to take Arizona by storm.
