Everything you need for a California wedding

Anthony Bennett6 said:Is anyone heading out to the convention center in Chicago this weekend?

Of course we're going. ☕

What actually happens at that fair?

Thanks for the link! Honestly, I’m not sure if this is actually a big deal or anything... was this kind of thing happening in previous years, or did anyone even show up?

I’d probably go too, but it’s just a bit of a trek for me... maybe?

We attended last year, and it was a decent experience 👍
Entry and parking were free, which was nice—plus, plenty of local jewelers were handing out discount flyers. There was a huge variety of vendors too: cake designers, confectioners, florists, wedding planners, tailors, photographers... basically everything you could need. They even held a fashion show, though if you don't make it there on time, the visibility of the runway can be a bit tricky 🤣
While the expo at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles was significantly larger this year, we actually found specific items—like certain types of confetti—at the California event last year that weren't available in LA at all. All things considered, I believe it is worth attending 😉

So, Jessica Clark4 finally weighed in. From what I can gather, this is only the second time they've held a fair like this in Los Angeles, unless someone wants to correct me on that... 🤷 Last year, the big wedding expo was over at the Crypto.com Arena.
I’m planning to head over just to browse some glassware—we haven't settled on that yet—maybe some cakes, and perhaps flowers. Honestly, most of the rest isn't even worth my time; we've already checked off almost everything else on the list. ☕ Sure, I don't have a wedding dress, but it's not like I'm trying to compete with professional models anyway, and frankly, that's not even my priority...

Ladies (and guys, if you're lurking), I'm assuming this question has been asked a million times already, but the threads are getting so massive it’s impossible to find anything. I need to know where to get the best deals on automotive tint film (the organdy stuff) for detailing cars and bumpers, plus some plastic wrap for baking. Any leads? Thanks!

Check out Mick Jagger over in Pasadena, Ira in that small town in the Midwest, or Rose Commerce near that small town in the Midwest. Mick Jagger is definitely your best bet for prices...🙂

I can shop there just fine without needing some business license or anything...

In Iraq, you can buy wedding supplies without any hassle... no need to have a corporate account or whatever.

but only if you go through $100?!

Yeah... easy to rack up those $100... way too easy....

Anyone know where else besides Victoria's Secret in San Francisco and the surrounding area I can find a Tiffany & Co. wedding dress? Specifically looking for a Gap gown, but they only sell them, right? No rentals?

Has anyone ever picked up any office supplies at the Las Vegas store in that small town in the Midwest (Canada)?

I actually took a trip down to a small town in the Midwest back in February. Regarding those invitations you mentioned—honestly, there isn't a huge variety to choose from, and man, they can get pretty pricey too...
As for the veils and lace stuff, I heard from a friend that things are a bit more budget-friendly at White Sands, right near the entrance to that popular pilgrimage site. They have their own website you can check out.
But if you want options, Las Vegas really has everything under the sun... If you have any specific questions or need help looking for something particular, feel free to shoot me a DM!

Got it—already picked it up, thanks a million! 🙂🙂

Did anyone make it out to the trade show?

Honestly, you could just hang out at the checkout line until someone shows up with a massive receipt—way bigger than yours $100—and just ask them to cover your total. People would actually do it; most of those sweet grandmas working the registers wouldn't think twice about helping you out. 😍

I stopped by the expo, though I can't say it particularly blew me away... I did manage to snag a few flyers with some discounts, though ($167 such as deals at Casablanca Bridal, 15% off cash purchases at Tiffany & Co., 20% off cakes at Zenith, and 20% off at Tiffany & Co.)...
