Tera Whigham has been dressing brides in Eastern Alabama for years. She knows what a wedding dress is supposed to do — not just look good, but make the person wearing it feel like themselves on the biggest day they've planned.
On October 18, she's bringing a live bridal fashion show to the Longleaf Hall at Anniston Museums and Gardens.
The Runway
A full runway down the north wall, with a stem section for the models to turn and pause. Real gowns, real looks, styled the way Tera would actually style a client — not a catalog, not a convention display.
The show runs at set times throughout the day. Seating is first-come along the runway side of the hall — no ticket upgrade, no reserved section.
We built the runway into the floor plan from the start, not as an afterthought. Twenty-four feet of dedicated runway with a stem extension. The rest of the hall is arranged so you can be mid-conversation with a vendor and still see the looks coming down.
What to Expect
The audience faces north, and the show runs down through the main floor of the expo. Multiple showings throughout the day mean you don't have to choose between the runway and the rest of the vendors.
If you've got a dress in mind and haven't pulled the trigger yet, this is a good reason to come early and stay late.
