If there’s ever a day where all your wishes should come true, it’s your wedding day. But making them come true isn’t always easy, and sometimes even knowing what those wishes can be the hardest part.
To help brides, grooms, and wedding planners make those important wedding day decisions, Peterborough licensed celebrant Hermione Rivison is co-hosting the third annual Wedding Day Wishes Bridal Show on Sunday, January 26.
At no cost, visitors can drop in to the StoneHouse Hall at the Peterborough Curling Club between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to browse more than 20 local vendors for insight, inspiration, and connections that will help them plan and execute one of the most celebratory days of their lives.
“I believe that weddings should reflect the bride and groom,” says Rivison, who is also participating in the show. “Life is exciting, and if you play hockey and go hiking and have a dog, you should include all of that in your wedding. That’s your life, and your wedding should reflect your personality.”
To help make that happen, attendees will have access to a variety of vendors based in or around Peterborough including photographers, DJs, cake decorators, a harpist, florists, caterers, venues, jewellers, clothing retailers, and more. With no more than three businesses offering the same service, the show ensures variety while allowing for attendees to connect on a personal level with each of the vendors.
“There is power in meeting people face to face that cannot be made online, because it’s energetic and there’s a click,” says Rivison. “At the show, you get to walk around, see things, and get ideas and that will help make it your wedding.”
With more than 10 years of experience as a celebrant, Rivison has seen couples celebrate their unity in many different ways, from pizza party dinners to cultural handfasting ceremonies. She continues to cherish how each one is an entirely unique experience.
“It’s a milestone where families get together,” she says. “It’s such a joyful time that should be celebrated in your own way.”
Vendor tables are still available, and interested wedding services and businesses can contact Rivison at hermione.rivison@gmail.com for more details.
