Altar Ego, the Triangle’s hottest fashion show of the year brought to us by Tre Bella Inc, is quickly-approaching! This is going to be an evening of entertainment at Durham’s most high-end wedding venue, the Washington Duke Inn. Guests will enjoy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and live music while gazing upon various event-themed table designs. The event will culminate with a fashion show, highlighting bridal, bridesmaid and menswear fashions, and also showing local boutique clothing that can be used for your rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or honeymoon! Tickets are $35 for the full evening and all drinks, food and fashion are included. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a local charity, Girls on the Run, so it is a good cause, too!

Southern Bride & Groom magazine’s Publisher Donna Parks, and Sales/Production Manager Jenna Parks Olender, had the chance to appear on NBC-17′s My Carolina Today this morning, on the “Going to the Chapel” segment.

As December is the month that brings the most engagements, My Carolina Today asked us to come on the show to give some tips to the newly-engaged. There is much to discuss on where to begin with the sometimes overwhelming job of planning that special day! We gave just a couple of practical tips, and a heads-up on the two big shows that are approaching this weekend: Forever Bridal’s Wedding Show at the Raleigh Convention Center this Friday night (4-9pm) and Saturday (10am-4pm); and The Carolina Inn’s Bridal Showcase from 1-4pm on Sunday.
