bridal fashion debut

Yesterday I headed down to the annual Bridal Fashion Debut to check out a few of the latest and greatest vendors for the Bridal industry! It is always great to meet new vendors (some that are Facebook friends, but never met face to face). Anyway, as I walked around I realized how HUGE this industry is:) I am definitely very honored to be a part of it and also thankful for my clients who have choices and still chose ME! Some of these vendors I have worked with and some I am new to, so this is not a post to tell you who to use, but just to offer choices:) You make the call Brides and Grooms!

First up is a DJ, this is Desert House Productions. I have not had the pleasure of working with them but I do appreciate a DJ that is classy and rocks the house! So contact Dave and Drea Strickler for more info.

Next up was this super cute Snapz photo booth! Always a big hit at weddings. This vendor is also new to me so contact them for info!

This vendor A Day to Cherish is a wedding coordinator business and in charge of helping you plan your day!

A great wedding videographer is always a chore to find! I have worked with Daniel Wagner Films at a wedding before and he is very professional.

Your Heart’s Desire is a professional wedding consulting company and my friends Emily Edwards and Michelle Scarzone will definitely pull of the wedding of your DREAMS! I cannot STRESS the importance of hiring a wedding consultant. Even though your venue has an on-site coordinator, they can’t do everything, nor should they. I was not even in the industry when I got married and I hired an AMAZING wedding coordinator to pull off my day without a hitch! And I even found out after that there had been a few problems, but they were taking care of without me knowing or worrying…now a stress free wedding is worth every penny! Trust me!

Contact them for more info, and tell them I sent you;)

This team Vongspoth Studios is a wedding videographer that I have not worked with but would like to in the future. From what I saw they offer a different kind of look to the video industry.

Aw, Su Vino! My Husband and I received a gift certificate to them for our wedding and we LOVED it! We picked the varietal, bottled it and even design a custom logo for the bottle! A great gift for couples and also a great idea for wedding favors:)

Sugar Magnolia floral design had a beautiful booth as well! I love a unique beautiful bouquet!

I have had the awesome opportunity of photographing these beautiful cakes by Classic Cakes and Confections! So creative and just great people to work with as well!

Everyone was closing up at the end but I did get a shot of the Phoenix Bride & Groom magazine booth! A great magazine to research wedding idea’s from!

Twirl boutique is a great shop to find (not your usual) bridesmaid dress. Come on brides lets get rid of the bows on our butts and have our bridesmaids love us!!!

That’s it for me! Please do your own research as this was just a few suggestions to look into! Happy planning!!!

much love.katina
