Los Angeles, California (September, 2006) I got a call from a journalist friend of mine to attend a new wedding event at the Four Seasons Hotel, since I had nothing better to do, I agreed to join him and boy was I glad I did. The location was perfect for such an elegant, professional event. There was a New York class and energy at this wedding salon which makes sense for although this was their first event in the City of Angeles, the producers have been doing this show in New York for the past 3 years. Addition to their expansion to LA they are taking the Wedding Salon to Miami in November and back to New York in April as well.

Wedding dreams came alive for West Coast brides at the highly anticipated premiere of the Wedding Salon on September 21, 2006. The event, held at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles in Beverly Hills, showcased extravagant and memorable ideas for discerning brides and grooms-to-be. Among the prestigious celebrity stylists and planners who gave eager brides ideas for creating their own one-of-a-kind weddings were Eric Buterbaugh (Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher), Mindy Weiss (Gwen Stefani, Heidi Klum), Sylvia Weinstock Cakes (Billy Joel, Donald Trump) among others.
