Love is in the Air!
Free Virtual Bay Area Bridal Show on Sunday, March 28th produced by Kimberly Vaughan, a 15-year Wedding Show Veteran Dedicated to Helping Wedding Industry professionals to survive and thrive
State-of-the-Art Technology Makes It Easy, Fun, Highly Interactive and Productive for Engaged Couples including One-on-One Meetings with Expert Wedding Vendors who understand the new wedding landscape
Vaughan’s #OurWeddingWentViral website will also help reduce search time by couples for vendors who may already be booked due to Pandemic rescheduling and pent-up demand
San Francisco, CA. February 2021. Did you know that the majority of wedding proposals are made over the November and December holidays, followed by Valentine’s Day, making the months that follow prime wedding planning months?
We may have been on lockdown, but this past year has shown us that love is still in the air! Whether a couple is planning a big wedding, or a more intimate micro-wedding, there’s an exciting and innovative solution to move plans and dreams ahead safely and virtually.
Adapting to the times and determined to still have a safe and successful event for recently engaged couples, 15-year wedding show producer, Kimberly Vaughan, founder of International Wedding Festival, created a unique, virtual state-of-the-art platform for wedding shows that is now being expanded to cities across the U.S. by leveraging technology in new and innovative ways.
Using her experience producing hundreds of live wedding shows over the years, Vaughan has created highly interactive events filled with wedding professionals, fashion, guest appearances from wedding celebrities, venue tours, vendor booths and more. Attendees will see their offerings, have one-on-one conversations, and plan their big day as they visit from booth to booth as well as view professional group presentations! Vaughan has assembled the Bay area's favorite and most respected wedding professionals for the upcoming Bay Area Bridal Show & Wedding Fair.
Vaughan is also busy planning for live events with a reduced capacity when permitted at the Santa Clara Convention Center, on July 25, 2021 and other select cities and 2021 dates, starting April 18th in Sacramento, California.
More Vendors/Venues Invited to Participate
Vaughan is dedicated to helping wedding professionals survive and thrive in these challenging times. There is still room for more Bay Area wedding vendors and venues to participate with their own booth and more details can be found here:
#OurWeddingWentViral
This tool developed by Vaughan has been created to take some of the guesswork and stress out of the planning process. Couples won't need to make hundreds of calls to check a photographer's availability, or visit every venue they love online to find out they are booked on their date. Pent up demand on the wedding industry can impose challenges for planning couples. Now, couples can enter their wedding date and zip code on the OurWeddingWentViral.com site and see who is available!

Right now, couples have lots of planning questions and we have wedding professionals who are eager to share their expertise and passion for weddings.
