It was an elegant afternoon of tulle, taffeta and bow ties at the annual Carolina Inn Bridal Showcase. Brides-to-be – with their maid of honor, fiancé or family in tow – met with wedding consultants, photographers and other potential vendors about their big day. Attendees also checked out the latest trends in gowns, makeup and hair and enjoyed a s’mores bar, fruit hand pies and Cheerwine from Crossroads Chapel Hill.
