Georgia's Lanier Islands Resort Poised to Host Award-Winning Bridal & Wedding Expo July 19

BUFORD, Ga. - EntSun -- Having won its own slew of awards from The Knot and WeddingWire over the years, Lanier Islands Resort is teaming up with the award-winning event planners at Georgia Peach State Bridal Show to produce a Bridal & Wedding Expo that will leave couples swooning. Event guests will have opportunities to view the latest wedding gowns on the runway, enjoy live music and DJ entertainment, meet a wide variety of vendors, and take part in interactive experiences throughout the event – all designed to inspire them to create their own journey down the aisle. Hosted at Legacy Lodge & Conference Center on Sunday, July 19, from noon to 3 p.m., admission to the event is free.

"Lanier Islands Resort is a premier lakeside destination that offers a stunning, comprehensive visual canvas," said Tara Smith, Georgia Peach State Bridal Show Relations Manager. "Hosting a bridal expo at Legacy Lodge allows couples to experience the physical versatility of the venue firsthand, ranging from the grand 16-foot ceilings of the Grand Ballroom to panoramic outdoor locations like Legacy Pointe and Peachtree Pointe. The resort transforms a typical planning day into an immersive, resort-style destination experience. It allows couples to visualize their entire wedding timeline in one location—including guest accommodations, spa amenities, rehearsal dinners, and lakeside ceremonies, making it an inspirational layout that standard convention centers cannot replicate. Couples will leave The Georgia Peach State Bridal Show with the primary resources needed to execute a luxury wedding – including an organized plan, dynamic design ideas, loads of inspiration, and immediate, face-to-face relationships with top-tier, award-winning regional vendors."

Engaged couples in attendance will learn about the latest wedding trends and connect with top wedding professionals, including planners, photographers, florists, and DJs. They can also enjoy a magazine-style photo booth, experience live demonstrations, and take part in tuxedo and bridal gown fittings in a private suite.

"This event is designed to be filled with inspiration for every style and budget," said Matthew Bowling, President of Lanier Islands Resort, which is currently in the running for an esteemed Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award for Best Resort. "With more than a dozen indoor and outdoor venues from which to choose, we invite our Expo guests to explore the Islands to see if we're the perfect fit for their vision of their special day. And if they'd like to stay the night before and after the event, we'd love to have them experience many of the amenities their destination wedding guests might enjoy – like our new night-lit, par-3, lakeside course at The Six, our indoor playground at Game Changer, Tranquility Spa, the beach and waterpark at Margaritaville at Lanier Islands, pickleball, drinks on deck at the Legacy Lodge pool, and so much more. Between accommodations, our stellar culinary team, and our unique collection of amenities, we believe they'll find that Lanier Islands Resort is ideally crafted for a destination wedding that flows seamlessly from the rehearsal to the reception."
