The Covelli Centre was packed with vendors offering a variety of products and services for weddings – and a crowd of brides-to-be lined up for the chance to speak with them.

Sherry Jones, of Hermitage, Pa, waited about 10 minutes for her chance to sample cakes, talk with photographers and meet other vendors at the Premier Bridal Show of 2013 on Sunday.

“They have a lot of vendors. It’s really nice,” Jones said. “We found a lot of things that we liked.”

Jones has been engaged to Charlie Pitts, also of Hermitage, Pa, since August. The couple plans a June wedding.

The bridal show takes place annually by Evaline’s Bridal in downtown Warren. This year, Thom Duma Fine Jewelers, Warren, co-sponsored the event.

“We’ve both been [in Warren] for over 60 years, which is fantastic,” said Lori Dubasik, owner of Evaline’s Bridal. “He has such a high end jewelry line, we do the high end bridal line. We thought we need to do this together. And we did, and it’s fantastic. I think it’s a perfect marriage.”

The event included a fashion show and raffles. More than 30 vendors participated.
