Love Is In The Air!
San Francisco, CA. February 2021. Did you know that the majority of wedding proposals are made over the November and December holidays, followed by Valentine’s Day, making the months that follow prime wedding planning months?
We may have been on lockdown, but this past year has shown us that love is still in the air! Whether a couple is planning a big wedding, or a more intimate micro-wedding, there’s an exciting and innovative solution to move plans and dreams ahead safely and virtually.
Adapting to the times and determined to still have a safe and successful event for recently engaged couples, 15-year wedding show producer, Kimberly Vaughan, founder of International Wedding Festival, created a unique, virtual state-of-the-art platform for wedding shows that is now being expanded to cities across the U.S. by leveraging technology in new and innovative ways.
Using her experience producing hundreds of live wedding shows over the years, Vaughan has created highly interactive events filled with wedding professionals, fashion, guest appearances from wedding celebrities, venue tours, vendor booths and more. Attendees will see their offerings, have one-on-one conversations, and plan their big day as they visit from booth to booth as well as view professional group presentations! Vaughan has assembled the Bay area's favorite and most respected wedding professionals for the upcoming Bay Area Bridal Show & Wedding Fair.
Vaughan is also busy planning for live events with a reduced capacity when permitted at the Santa Clara Convention Center, on July 25, 2021 and other select cities and 2021 dates, starting April 18th in Sacramento, California.
More Vendors/Venues Invited to Participate
Vaughan is dedicated to helping wedding professionals survive and thrive in these challenging times. There is still room for more Bay Area wedding vendors and venues to participate with their own booth and more details can be found here:

This tool developed by Vaughan has been created to take some of the guesswork and stress out of the planning process.

Pent up demand on the wedding industry can impose challenges for planning couples. Now, couples can enter their wedding date and zip code on the OurWeddingWentViral.com site and see who is available!

So, if you’re a bride on the hunt for the perfect wedding dress that fits your own unique style, stay tuned. Maggie Sottero, one of the top wedding dress designers globally, is unveiling its Spring 2022 bridal collection, and it features tons of accessories that allow you to design your own unique wedding day look. So, if you’re looking for a wedding dress that’s a little more you, the Maggie Sottero “Personalize It” options are the way to go. When it comes to wedding dress shopping, having options to customize or personalize a gown totally to fit your style is a game-changer. Many brides find themselves liking many attributes of a wedding dress style, but it just isn’t perfect. For example, maybe you love the color, silhouette, and embellishments, but it’s strapless, which you hate. For ages, there weren’t many options for customizing a wedding dress to fit your desired look. Some boutiques may have offered custom work through their alteration department, but that can get costly. And many designers just didn’t provide the service. But in true Maggie Sottero style, she has created a breakthrough program that offers brides many options to totally customize a gown to be perfectly you. Here are a few ways that the Maggie Sottero personalize it options can help you fall in love with the perfect dress.
