February 2014 Bridal Networking Event in Laguna Hills

Premier Bridal Show at St. Regis

What a fantastic bridal show at the St. Regis yesterday (July 1, 2012).

Beth DeGiacomo at the OC Brides Booth

Beth DeGiacomo brought her beautiful Crystal Tree and Candalabra to display at our OC Brides table.  DiJital Engagement provided the music for the fashion show.  As mem bers we combined our tables and ran a slideshow of some of our favorite Networking events on the big screen!

The brides and vendors alike were excited to hear about our upcoming Bridal Networking Event at the Hacienda on July 18th.  The show was nice a quaint with upscale brides.


Some of our favorite booths were the Sugar Mamas and Wildflower of San Clemente (who we wold love to have join us at OC Brides) and Flawless Weddings and Events who is already an OC Brides member.

Sugar Mamas coated Oreos with edible glitter!

Love this Florist but don't see a company name

Flawless Weddings & Events

And we had a great time in the ePod talking photobooth.  Neil, who I call the Wizard as in the wizard of Oz, has redefined both Photo Booths and FUN! Their team of Engineers, Craftsmen and Hollywood Entertainers have blended Innovation with Imagination to create the world’s ONLY “Talking” Photo Booth! While waiting for our photos we watch live video of the group that went in after us.  It is so much fun to watch!  I hope "The Wizard" joins OC Brides so I can share this with you too!

Thanks to Premier Bridal Shows for putting on such a great event at the St. Regis Resort.  Beautiful Southern California day, Beautiful Venue, Beautiful show!
