Laura Kaeppeler, Miss America and former Miss Wisconsin

We just arrived back at the store from the Miss Wisconsin
Pageant Prep Day in Oshkosh, Wisconsin!! Bridal Elegance is so excited to be
the new exclusive wardrobe sponsor for the Miss Wisconsin and Miss Wisconsin
Outstanding Teen! We felt so welcome by Jeanne Schmal, Executive Director of
Miss Wisconsin, and her husband, Mike.

Alyssa (our Ottawa store manager), Cierra (one of our pageant stylists), and I
drove north to Oshhosh (only a 4 hour drive) on Friday night and set up a trunk
show at 7:30 a.m. for all the contestants in a super dressing room at the West
Side High School, which has a beautiful auditorium that seats over 1400 people,
and has been home to the Miss Wisconsin Pageant for the last 50 years!!!

We were so impressed with the great contestants, as well as their directors!
The contestants had talent tech also, so we heard some great talents! Not only
are we proud to call many of them our customers, but now also our friends!
Jeanne and her team are true professionals, and great to work with for their
pageant.

Thank you again Miss Wisconsin (MAO) for including us!
