Wedding Crashers report

I had a fantastic time at the Wedding Crashers event on Saturday. There was a great turnout and I have to say, it was very refreshing to see so many cool couples! Usually these fairs are mostly brides but the men came out in full force, representing. I see the trend of couples really wanting to personalize their days to make it all about THEM! And I love that. :) See more photos here.

There were so many unique vendors present. I wished I'd had more time to go around and check out everyone's set up but I was so busy at my own table I hardly had a chance to see what else was out there. I was fortunate enough to be next to Abdi & Nico from 3 Photographers (LOVE THEM!) and Melinda from Lion in the Sun paperie. Great people with amazing businesses. It was so inspiring to be around other vendors doing cool things in this biz.

I reconnected with the amazing Tammy Golson who was helping coordinate that day, Andrea Blau, my fave special event documentarian from Rewind Pictures, and DJ Small Change who played some sweet tunes during the event. I also met the awesomely cool vendors Daniesha, a planner & designer from Wedded Luxe, Allyson who runs the website RealHoneymoons.com (SO CLEVER for those looking for honeymoon destinations!), Ara, the new DC transplant who runs a wonderful wedding and design company called Rock, Paper, Scissors, Kerry the incredible florist from Root Stock & Quade (love their Clinton Hill shop!), Brooklyn photographer Daniel Krieger, the lovely make-up artist Jessa from Blades Natural Beauty, not to mention many more. And two of my favorite bloggers, Jillian from 100 Layer Cake and Vane from Brooklyn Bride also paid me a visit.

It was a really fun event and all around wonderful day. I was so happy to meet some potential future clients and be around all the creative talent from Brooklyn. Let's hear it for NEW YORK!
