Held at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center on Sunday, August 23 from 1-4PM, this curated bridal showcase brings together the Emerald Coast's premier wedding professionals all under one beautiful roof.

Exclusive vendor deals and giveaway opportunities make it well worth the trip for anyone planning a Gulf Coast wedding.
