If you make it to just ONE bridal show in south Orange County, this one should definitely be it. Held once per year, the Bridal Fair by the Sea is SO extravagant, and vendors galore!! At the Laguna Cliffs Marriott in Dana Point this year, the entrance to the fair was a colorful hallway packed with crazy exotic colors of foods and candies, flowers and linens, just beautful. Beyond this there were five hotel ballrooms to walk through, each themed by season and just loaded with vendors giving out FREE STUFF! Once you make it through the ballrooms, you can head down to the main Marriott lawn for more. To top it off, there were seemingly endless amount of raffle prizes and wedding giveaways. Truly overwhleming.
I arrived in the morning to meet my friend Annie Kim from La Tulipe Floral Designs. I have worked with Annie at over 10 separate weddings in Laguna Beach and she always brings the most exotic creations. Great work Annie! Her mega booth was located in the ’summer’ room, here are a few of her floral presentations . . .
Don’t just get flowers! They will be naked! Accessorize your flowers!!! . . .
Check out these fascinating blue-dyed roses on the right . . . maybe for a winter wedding??
I accidentally found a couple “sweets” tables, hahahah. This first table from Itty Bitty Sweets is more of a baking extravaganza, really delightful and yummy looking goodies . . . way to go ladies!
When I was a kid, one of my favorite candies to get while at the beach was the Abba-Zabba. It’s sort of a really chewy toffee bar with peanut butter in the middle. So good, and takes forever to chew it. It also turns out to be a perfect fit for this themed table from Candee by Sandee. All black and yellow treats . . .
It was a fun morning, I also ran into some other wedding industry buddies: Berit Digerud Make-up Artist, Denise Empey Accessories, and Russell Fowler Cinematographer.
