The Jamaica Pegasus Wedding Extravaganza
Throngs of people descended upon the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel on March 12 and 13 to discover all the new offerings that wedding vendors had in store for the 21st century bride.
Under the theme ‘Magical Moments’, brides-to-be, mothers of the bride, future in-laws along with bridal hopefuls and curious passers-by were treated to beautifully decorated booths and tables filled with cakes, flowers, reception displays, and invitation samples – each playing that all-important role in executing that very special day. Wedding photographers too, had up images of their work on show for those in attendance, and booths with wedding rings and bridal jewellery had patrons ooh-ing and aah-ing at their bridal selection.
