Crystal Couture Festival Arrives
ture did a 180-degree turn for
Wedding Wednesday. Wedding
gowns hung in the entrance
with lights below them, boutiques
stood next to each other,
bridesmaid dresses were worn
by participants, couture cupcakes
and champagne were partaken.
Women, mostly brides-tobe,
walked around quietly, keeping
to themselves and examining
the boutiques’ accessories
for sale. The music was subtle
but still made many sway their
shoulders and smile at one another.
Bridal fashion runways
were provided by designers,
bridal magazines were distributed
and hair and make-up was
done for free to those interested.
Beth Cullen, a resident of
Clarendon, had heard about the
event through her mom. “I was coming expecting
clothes and jewelry. I wanted a better
idea of boutiques in the area and I love
the cupcakes,” Cullen said.
The women outnumbered the men. In the
crowd, Lee Bacon and Arman Stewart
browsed boutiques together, laughing at
each other as they conversed with boutique
owners. Asked their reason for coming,
Bacon said, “I have a friend that is helping
It is
neither
wealth
nor
splendor,
but tranquility
and
occupation,
which
give happiness.

out with this event so Lee and I decided to
come and support him.”
Bacon said, “We had no idea it was a
bridal fashion show. However, this is really
interesting and we have gained a lot.”
Stewart nodded and said, “This was rather
astonishing. In fact, quite interesting with
a variety of people and a variety of booths
and I like how it all touches different facets
of wedding planning,”
