Fellows Riverside Gardens becomes wedding central at bridal fair

By KATIE SEMINARA

YOUNGSTOWN — A bouquet of vendors was tossed into the arms of blushing brides-to-be and other wedding enthusiasts at the Fellows Riverside Gardens bridal fair.

More than 300 people took a look on the bride side of things as they walked around the D.D. and Velma Davis Education and Visitor Center in the Gardens Sunday.

Thirty vendors and two music groups set up colorful and informative displays at the fair.

“We do this event to show off one of the premiere wedding facilities in Northeast Ohio and because we want people to experience the gardens,” said Arlene Lanz, who works for the Gardens and organized the event.

It is also good for the brides and their significant others or mothers to talk to all of the vendors, she said.

And that is just what people did.

Women and men alike made there way from table to table stuffing their bags full of freebies and brochures to help plan their big day.
