I am really swearing off wedding related events, i.e. bridal expos, trunk shows, bridal luncheons, vendor showcases and “evenings of bridal luxury.” I don’t care how much free champagne and cupcakes they offer me, I am DONE. However, I went to Paper Source’s Paper Weddings last year and I briefly flirted with going back for a second round. There were two shows that I have…

A reminder that The Lovely Details Showcase is this Sunday, February 3rd from 11-3 at the Fort Mason Firehouse in San Francisco!

They’ve added several AWESOME vendors to the showcase list, so come get inspired! Admission is FREE! Check out their website for…

Chicago ladies– we’re in luck. There are two upcoming bridal events, both of which sound so fun. I plan on going to both and I hope to see some of you there!

There is a bridal show this weekend in Dallas sponsored by Macy’s Registry. The show is at Dallas Market Hall and will feature over 350 vendors. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children under 14.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go, but it might be of some help locating vendors and getting ideas for your weddings! Don’t forget to make labels with all your…

Weddingbee readers KatyStardust, Cara, Miss Cherryblossom, and I were out in full force this past Sunday at the Five Star Afternoon Bridal Event at the Four Seasons San Francisco! To any of you Bay Area brides-to-be that missed it…GO NEXT YEAR. I’ll be married by then, but I’ll be there. Hopefully I’ll have an engaged friend in tow, but even if I don’t…there’s no way…

This one’s for all my homies in the Old Pueblo. Tucson Newspapers is launching a brand new bridal magazine!

Woo hoo, local resources! And here’s the shameless plug part: yours truly wrote that “Minimum Planning…” article. I know, can you believe it? Someone actually paid me for my wordcraft. Suckaz! Anyway, you can either wait and pick up a copy in stores within a week or…

What an exciting day yesterday was.  First off, I met with the Best Man and his girlfriend, Mona, for a lovely brunch at Merchant.  Then, Best Man left us and Mona took me to the Billion Dollar Babes Sale where they have Amsale sample dresses on sale for around 1/2 off and up to 80% off! They also have a few veils as well!

…is what you’ll be enjoying if you sign up for the Four Seasons 2008 Wedding Fair in San Francisco. Ever since I went to the one earlier this year, I couldn’t wait to go to the next one. I was in heaven, let me tell you.

Ladies, I share with you my all time favorite Wedding Fair - you will not be disappointed! Register now for the best…

For all those Central Illinois brides out there (I know there are a few!), this Thursday is the second annual Bridal University in Champaign-Urbana.

This event brings together some of the area’s best vendors (including my photographer!) in an informative session on choosing vendors, making the most of each vendor and his/her services, and answering all those plaguing questions. There’s also a fashion show and creative…

It seemed innocent enough. Go to wedding show last weekend, enter contests, see if you win, and while you do that search for a florist or at least floral ideas. Right?

Apparently not.

Not even four hours after departing the wedding show I get a call from the show sponsor saying that I have won some toasting glasses and a hotel stay for two nights. Well hooray……

Hi, Mrs. Bee,

Just wanted to let you know that my FI and I went to register at Bloomingdale’s on Saturday, and they gave us a complimentary pass to the Wedding Salon next week! If any of your readers are planning to register at Bloomingdales (or maybe already are, but haven’t stopped by in awhile), they should head over this week so they can get their…

Mrs. Bee here.

Admission for The Wedding Salon’s annual bridal show in New York is $125 for 2 people (they sell the tickets in pairs), but we just received a $50 off promotion with code PBNY07P.

This was the best bridal show I attended last year, so I’ll definitely be going again this year - I hope it’s just as great! Last year’s gift bag was…
