I’ve been getting some requests for referrals lately, mostly for a florist who was as good as my mom and charged like she did. While I don’t know if there’s anyone like that anywhere — of course not! — I do know how frustrating it must be to find good, trustworthy wedding vendors.

Now, I don’t know about other parts of the country — sorry! — but I did get wind of an event called Wedding Happy Hour here in L.A. Basically, you get to have cocktails with folks who are vying for your business. How cool is that?
Now, don’t think I’m getting paid for this mention. I’m not. Actually, a trustworthy blog buddy sent this event to me, and I thought — hey! Why not. Besides, where else can you go to find wedding vendors for free? Bridal shows can get costly — for both the bride and the wedding vendor — and it being a happy hour event makes it a more relaxed atmosphere where you can actually get to know the vendors and get comfortable with them. Bridal shows are more often than not sensory overload. Trust me. I know.
