Edina, Minn. (January 29, 2010) — The members of the 50th & France Association have known for a long time what they want the public to now realize: no where else in the Twin Cities can you find so many wedding-related business and services all so close and so convenient. With this in mind, they have launched the “Brides of 50th & France” program.
The bride-to-be can find everything she needs to plan the perfect wedding and beyond at 50th and France in Edina. “When a woman becomes engaged, we want her to think of 50th & France as the best bridal destination in the Twin Cities,” says Rachel Hubbard, Executive Director of the 50th & France Association. “Why should she trek all over town, search for parking and stress herself out, when she could come to 50th & France, receive wonderful service at reasonable prices, all within walking distance?”
For a limited time, future brides may receive a complementary “Brides of 50th & France I Do” card. The “I Do” card entitles them to various discounts and offers at over 75 participating 50th & France retailers and services. The “Brides of 50th & France I Do” card is available at the various retailers or by calling Julie Boehm at 952-922-1524. Cards are available while supplies last.
