Bridal Expo Wedding Gown Trends

January 25, 2007 -- Bridal Expo Chicago and Shelley's Bridal Couture have teamed up to create a wedding dress and bridesmaids gowns inspired by the winning 2006 NFC North Division champions, the Chicago Bears. The gowns will be on display at upcoming Bridal Expo Chicago events: Sun., Jan. 21, from Noon to 4 p.m. at the Palos Country Club; and Sun., Jan. 28, Noon to 4 p.m. at The Carlisle, Lombard.

Bill Brennan, CEO, Bridal Expo Chicago, a well-known wedding expert, says the gowns are in line with this year's trend in the bridal business for personalization and color.

They're crazy for signature bright colors, after-parties, and showing off their personal sense of style and self."
