This past Saturday, I attended "The Wedding Party" bridal show event, a combination of presentations by wedding experts along with a vendor showcase, hosted by Martha Stewart Weddings and The Wedding Library. The event was kicked off with a champagne brunch and followed by a series of four speakers: Darcy Miller, Preston Bailey, Reem Acra and Mark Ingram.
