When you are planning a wedding you get plenty of messages about one bridal show or another.   Most  bridal shows are small affairs held in hotels.  They use words like "boutique", "edited", "chic", "exclusive", "high-end" to describe their shows.  Words which pretty much mean one thing:  SMALL.   I don't know about you,  but when I'm shopping for a wide variety of things and want to see all my options, I don't run to a small specialty store.  I head to the mall!   The same thinking should go into your choice of a bridal show.

At the Bridal Bazaar engaged couples have the opportunity to meet hundreds of wedding vendors in one place.  Exhibitors represent over 40 categories of wedding goods and services, so everything you need is there. Plus you'll see inspiring ideas for things you might not have thought to add to your wedding.  Because of its size the Bridal Bazaar is the place to see all of your options and make the most informed decisions.   

If you want to visit a small bridal show we encourage you to do so.  But when you get serious about booking vendors for your wedding, the Bridal Bazaar is the best place to be.

Shenna Thomas is the lucky winner of a pair of 1-carat diamond earrings from Irelia Fine Jewelry.  Shenna's name was drawn from the registration forms of nearly 1,000 couples who attended the July 28th Bridal Bazaar at the San Diego Convention Center.   Sheena and her fiance, Greg, will wed next spring.  We wish them continued good luck!

Thanks to the hundreds of  exhibitors and the thousands of brides, grooms, families and friends who came to the show last Sunday.  We hope everyone had a great time and found lots of amazing ideas and services for their weddings.  Big thanks to the Gretchen Productiions team for a fabulous fashion show!  Our vote for best of show?  Those delicious macarons at the Manchester Grand Hyatt booth ...ymmmmm!   Some scenes from the show...
