Sunday, January 10, 2010
On this particular day, there are more bridal events occurring that not even the YWD team can attend them all! So what we suggest is for you to attend the bridal event in the area you intend to be married. For example, if you desire a Santa Barbara or Napa/Sonoma destination wedding, it is wise to attend this showcase so that you have the opportunity to connect and review with many businesses at once which otherwise, could possibly take you several days to do. But if you cannot whisk away to attend the event within your destination, do attend the event near your area as there are many businesses you’ll rely on and need that are located in your own backyard.
