Last weekend we were\u00c2\u00a0invited to\u00c2\u00a0Love\/Make Wedding Expo<\/a>, the second annual wedding show organized\u00c2\u00a0by what is easily San Francisco’s coolest blog The Bold Italic<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0at the Terra Gallery<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0in downtown San Francisco.<\/p>\n

While it has become the\u00c2\u00a0preeminent voice on the culture of the Bay Area, The Bold Italic doesn’t usually play in the wedding space, so we had to ask: why put on a wedding show? This is what Ellen Black,\u00c2\u00a0the head of The Bold Italic’s Event and Marketing, told us:<\/p>\n

“Seeing as the Bay Area is chock full of creative people with unique tastes and abilities, I wanted to produce an event that could really showcase the amazing talent we have here in addition to helping engaged couples connect with interesting, reliable, and inspiring vendors.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And interesting they were! True to San Francisco’s obsession with all things hand-crafted, we found several unique vendors sporting their goods: from\u00c2\u00a0Knotty Co.<\/a>, which makes custom bow ties out of found materials (kimono, anyone?)\u00c2\u00a0to\u00c2\u00a0Reclamation\u00c2\u00a0Etchworks<\/a>, which can elegantly etch anything onto anything to custom-made cookies.<\/p>\n

While Love\/Make featured two floors chock full of vendors, one booth was clearly the biggest hit: guests flocked to floral wreath making classes taught by florists from\u00c2\u00a0Home Sweet Flowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/a><\/p>\n

We saw our old friends San Francisco’s newest bridal shop\u00c2\u00a0LOHO Bride<\/a>, which we have covered in a recent blog post<\/a>. We also made\u00c2\u00a0new friends with The Chapel<\/a>, a unique restaurant\/bar\/event space in the hip Mission neighborhood that used\u00c2\u00a0to be a \u00c2\u00a0mortuary and that attracts couples that want something out of the ordinary; wedding planning site\u00c2\u00a0Happily Co.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0that flew out from their headquarters in LA; and\u00c2\u00a0Stardust Vintage Rentals<\/a>, an event planning and rental company out of Big Sur\u00c2\u00a0whose teepee was another big hit.<\/p>\n

Although Love\/Make had the traditional setup of a wedding show, The Bold Italic put a unique spin on it\u00c2\u00a0by showcasing interesting local vendors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
