Fashion shows

Weddings in Paradise also will feature two fashion shows for your wedding, bridal and entourage needs from Cory’s Fashion, Watabe Weddings and World Fashions, along with live hairstyle demonstrations and makeup by Hair Town and Salon Paradis.

Wedding cake baker Laling Pangelinan is one of the many vendors who will be on hand at the show to guide couples through their wedding-planning needs.

“I try to match the cake with the personality of the person, the bride or the groom,” Pangelinan says. “It could be a hobby, something that they like, and I also encourage them to match the decor of the party.”

With more than 25 years experience in her pocket, Pangelinan will be strutting her stuff against Crown Bakery and Sugarnomics during the show’s cake decorating contest.

There will be live entertainment by Reed Meyer, Cantate and a latin dance demonstration by David and Tomoe Peele, a husband-and-wife team.

Around 4 p.m. Weddings in Paradise also will reveal the winner of Bridal Boot Camp Guam Season 2. Four young brides-to-be have spent the last 10 weeks hitting the treadmill at Kontenda’s Gym and working with trainer Terry DeBold in the PDN contest to drop weight and get healthier before their big day. The winner will take home a prize package including: a wedding dress from Iridescent Boutique valued up to $1,200; bridal hair, makeup and nails from Entre Nous; a one-night stay and breakfast for two at Sheraton Laguna Guam Resort; a bridal bouquet from Nichol’s Boutique; limo service from Paradise Limousine; a spa package from Oxygene; a restaurant certificate from Diva Café; and a one-year membership to Kontenda’s.

Honeymoon prize

But the contestants aren’t the only ones with a chance to win during Weddings in Paradise.

The event also features a bonus for couples who plan to get hitched in the near future. United Air Lines will be conducting a drawing for a honeymoon in Manila. Bring a supporting document for your upcoming wedding, including reservations or receipts from a church, hotel or florist for your wedding day, to enter and play the honeymoon trivia game at the United booth, Leon Guerrero says.

The winner will be announced at the end of the show and you must be present to win.
