"GREENSBORO, NC — On Thursday, July 23rd between 5-9pm, the grounds of Blandwood Mansion and Carriage House, 447 West Washington Street in downtown Greensboro, will host their first showcase of bridal vendors that will make your upcoming nuptials unique, creative and HISTORIC!
Entry to this event on the National Historic Landmark site of Governor John Motley Morehead’s Blandwood is FREE and open to the public. Blandwood parking is located at the corner of Blandwood Avenue and West McGee Street. On street parking is also available.
The latest trend in weddings has been to have these celebratory events associated with historical properties following the romantic lines of recent historic movies and television dramas. Couples, their wedding party, families and friends are invited to visit during the evening to experience the exceptional local bridal vendors’ wares and items at this downtown historic landmark that can make their upcoming events unique, personal and tailored to their dream day! The show offers caterers’ sampling, mock-tails, giveaways and drawings for items the prospective couple may want. Gift bags to participants will be given to the first 100 guests!
Blandwood Carriage House Manager Amanda Garner encourages, “We are excited to host our first of many wedding vendor shows that will specialize in showcasing our local vendors and highlight the Blandwood Carriage House.”
