Bridal trends on show at expo Bride-to-be Tyne Wood has bought her wedding dress from Jenny & Gerry's. Picture: Tricia Watkinson Source: The Advertiser CLASSIC lace, vintage modern and plenty of sparkle will put brides-to-be in step with fashion this year. Tonia Annese, of Stepney bridal house Jenny & Gerry's, said "There was a little bit of everything but three looks were especially popular. Classic, elegant, princess ballgowns are on trend. But vintage modern is still in fashion - the Audrey Hepburn look. And a lot of girls are going for the modern bling theme - the more sparkle the better. Ms Annese said that on average people spent about $2500 on a wedding dress, so it was a big investment. "But people didn't seem to be as budget-conscious this year," she said. Tyne Wood, 24, of Magill, admired the many gowns on display but said her dress, purchased from Jenny & Gerry's, would remain a secret until her wedding day. "I can't wait to see my fiance's face and everyone else's faces when they see me in it for the first time," Ms Wood said. Event organiser Elizabeth Falloon said the bridal ideas expo had drawn a lot of interest. "We had thousands of products - everything was catered for," she said.
