Mestad's 2010 Gown Preview (Video)


Mestads wanted to offer brides a way to enjoy their wedding planning while relaxing and watching a Fashion Show. Adam Welz, of Prime Time DJs, dropped the tunes, Capture Video recorded and edited the event, and Stems and Vines supplied us with beautiful bridal bouquets.

Brides relaxed on the leather sofas, sipped wine and champagne, enjoyed delicious cupcakes by Icing Dreams, and took in the sights. Fun was had by all. Sometimes it is just fun to sit back T

The Pronovias 2010 preview event was a celebration of beautiful wedding gowns. Pronovias, based out of Barcelona, Spain, is Europe's hottest bridal design house. Pronovias gowns have classic lines yet have a bit of an edge to them. Because they are European gowns, the finishing touches to the dress feel special and fresh.

Mestad's staff travels around the world to hand select the most beautiful and best fitting gowns in a variety of price points. This fashion show highlights just that. The Pronovias gowns shown in this video were seen on the runways of Barcelona Spain just a week prior to the June 26th event.

Pronovias gowns span a range of price points - about $1100 - $3000. Manuel Mota and Elie Saab also have lines under the Pronovias label. These gowns start at $2,500.

2010 Bride Guide


Believe it or not, we are more than halfway though 2009...and 2010 is less than six months away!

The staff at the Central Minnesota Wedding Association is gearing up for our 2010 Bride Guide that will be distributed at area businesses and wedding fairs starting this fall.

We are always looking for great local vendors to join our association...so if you know of any great businesses that have provided exceptional service during your wedding planning process, we want to hear about them!

One of the goals of our wedding association is to not offer the most vendors in the area, but just the best! We don't take any old business that throws up an awning and calls themselves a "floral expert"...We screen each applicant to make sure they will provide excellent service to brides in the area- and they are obligated to sign our association code of ethics.

So if you know about a great business that caters to people during their wedding planning process, shoot me an email! jake@idoido.org

In our first year, the 2009 Bride Guide received more awards than any other local bridal publication...the 2010 Bride Guide is going to turn some more heads!
