That's right Last Bride Standing is back and this time it has become a major happening. Last season there were 21 brides, this season there are 32. Last season the whole contest took place at Le Jardin in Vaughan (amazing place for any function - blatant plug for a great place), this season the contest starts at LeJardin and moves to two other locations. Last season there was a grand prize of $75,000 and this season it is over 100 grand to winner. Yes, Last Bride Standing has grown up quick. This year the show will even culminate at the Toronto's Bridal Show at the Congress Center in front of thousands of brides-to-be and their entourage.
A favorable audience response in season one has fueled the creative passion in Carlo Parentela, the host of the contest and the creator of Last Bride Standing, to make this season a real calling card for future episodes around the world.
"Carlo sees the value in what he is doing as an entertainment vehicle, but this time he brought in the entire wedding industry in Ontario to make it outrageous and unmistakable." Mike Wixson, Executive Producer at RedFish laughs as he summarizes Parentela's drive to make this show an international success. "There is no question that he has major plans for this show. Our job is to execute it as a showpiece for international broadcast sales. And this is exactly what we will do. The contest is the best fodder for a reality series ever."
RedFish will work with Long Valley Productions, the creators of the concept to develop a second season of compelling TV that is sure to have you picking your favorite to win by the end of the first episode.
Here is a quick clip from what we shot at orientation. It is, as we say in the biz: "A rush" from the first night of shooting last week.
