Latest reviews on wedding experts in the Huron County Area

Family owners bring dedication, expertise & quality to the forefront of the tuxedo market

In the past, The Ring has visited and called Collins Formal Wear countless times in an effort to do research for our brides and grooms. Every single time we approach Collins, we are greeted the same way each customer is greeted - warmly and with appreciation. Even with tons of weddings on the go, clients filling their rental locations, and lots on their plates, the three owners of Collins Formal Wear - Lynda, Brad and Curt Collins never fail to provide exceptional service to each of their clients, which likely has something to do with the fact that they believe "shopping for a tux is like shopping for a wedding gown. It's not a decision to be taken lightly." It's for this reason, and for their extensive selection of high quality, exclusive formal wear, that The Ring decided every groom (and his bride) should know what we know about Collins Formal Wear.

Mom gets the spotlight too, at Bridal Elegance

It's not easy being the mother of the bride or the mother of the groom. For such a big event, Mom wants to look good but doesn't want to steal the spotlight from her 'baby'. We loved the team at Bridal Elegance because they devote a good portion of their time to giving Mom the attention she needs in order to 'suit up in style' for her son or daughter's wedding. While we were interviewing Wilma and Tara of Bridal Elegance, we were surprised by the wide selection of mother of the bride (and groom) gowns.

Story by TheWeddingRing.ca

John and Lindsey met in 2004 when they both attended a concert of Chinese music in Montreal. Lindsey's roommate introduced the two, which led to the group getting together for tea. They must have hit it off because after this outing, Lindsey found herself visiting places where she hoped she would bump into John. She got John's phone number through a mutual friend and the two shared an exciting first date. Within four months, John and Lindsey were living together. Full story.

Changing (simplifying, helping, transforming...) the way Huron County brides plan weddings

Though country towns are sometimes considered small, in 2008, there were countless marriage licenses issued in Huron County, which by the way, we discovered in our research is actually pretty huge – consisting of nine Municipalities and over 50 communities! To us, that means that countless couples are going through the same multitude of steps that are involved in researching and planning wedding details, interviewing and hiring wedding vendors.

As you know, it takes a lot of time to pull a wedding together, which is why The Wedding Ring has made it our goal to do all of the research for you, making all of the information available at no charge, and saving you about four months worth of planning footwork and stress.

Val & Josh: One Perfect Day

June 21 2008 :: Delta London Armouries, London

By the time Joshua Barath proposed to Valerie Vafiades, their relationship had already spanned two continents (North America & Australia) and two and a half adventure-filled years of work,school and play. “We had some of the ups and downs that most long distance relationships do but we made it work... We had an amazing time traveling across the country together.” When Josh proposed during a weekend getaway at the Oakwood Inn, he brought out a treasure box with sand and the ring inside and got down on one knee. “There was a poem about walking on the beach and building a life together... I was on cloud nine. It was fabulous!”
