Earlier this month,\u00c2\u00a0we attended Wedding Salon<\/a><\/strong>‘s 2014 New York City show.\u00c2\u00a0 The show, which is the biggest of its kind in New York, was founded by Tatiana Byron <\/a>in 2004 through a partnership with Martha Stewart.\u00c2\u00a0 Since then it has only grown, both in size and recognition, and now also organizes wedding\u00c2\u00a0shows in Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and Washington DC.<\/p>\n

The show has gotten so big, in fact, that it attracts a large variety of vendors that are rarely seen at typical bridal shows. While there were certainly cake designers and DJs, walking around the spacious Metropolitan Pavilion, we also spotted\u00c2\u00a0plastic surgeons, fitness instructors and a Lancome<\/strong> makeup counter.<\/p>\n

While there were no wedding dresses in sight, there was a large\u00c2\u00a0section dedicated to menswear<\/strong> brands: from custom suits to colorful socks.<\/p>\n

Travel was also well-represented. Mexico’s Tourism Board<\/strong> had a booth, and for the first time ever, the tiny Caribbean nation of Curacao<\/strong><\/a> also participated in Wedding Salon’s event. In fact, this was the country’s first ever bridal show as they’re hoping to attract more American couples to sunny Curacao for their destination wedding or honeymoon.<\/p>\n

Wedding Salon’s\u00c2\u00a0April show features a vendor line-up that is very different from its smaller November event. Unlike November, the April show\u00c2\u00a0attracts vendors that are want to target brides toward the middle or end of the wedding planning season, when make-up and groomsmen socks are what’s left on the to-do list.<\/p>\n
