(Why oh why did I leave my camera at home)?! http://veganbride.com/blog/great-bridal-show/ http://veganbride.com/blog/great-bridal-show/#comments Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:14:09 +0000 earthcafelady http://veganbride.com/blog/?p=362 I’d never been to a bridal show before, so I’m not really sure what I was expecting…(frilly dresses, standard photographers, auctions you never win, conventional desserts/cakes I can’t partake of & ????) Well there was plenty of that, but I have to say unexpectedly, the Bridal Premiere Show at the Hyatt Westlake Village was fan-freakin’-tastic!!! In addition to the aforementioned, there were BEAUTIFUL DISPLAYS from florists, wedding planners… even information on customized “African safaris” that help to maintain & support the local eco-system! There were FREE MASSAGES courtesy of In Touch Day Spa in Thousand Oaks. There were artistic photographers struttin’ there stuff. A company called “Mi Belle” had a decked out display with a whole funky lounge they set up that I wanted to steal for my own living room!

Another photographer, “MARK AYOUB” had the JAZZIEST business cards (they were see through, & indescribably cute) I’ve ever seen! I’d consider hiring him based on the cuteness of his media alone…he also had this stunning photo display made up many smaller photos:

Though again, a photo of his photo taken with my cell phone does no justice, but hopefully you get the idea...

My cell phone takes HORRIBLE pictures (that, & I have no clue how to adjust the settings. I guess guerilla-style, impropmtu photo journalism isn't my thing, but hopefully you get SOME idea of how great this HUGE display was!?? :) )

Some other honorable mentions, who’s work I didn’t get pictures of, (boo!) but who were “wow-ers” in person:

Notjustanyoldday.com-Personalized calendar keepsakes, AND the owner’s daughter is a hottie vegan! :)

Spa Escapes -(trying to locate their web address…also gave a sample massage w/an electric hand held cute thingamajig & had a salt scrub “manicure in a bottle” that made our hands look fab!)

So hopefully you catch my drift. Just trust, if you have a bridal show happening in a neighborhood near you, married or single, scamper over & get some “pamprings”! It was F-U-N!! :) C
