Ponies Wool Scarf. Crab hors d'oeuvres. Jin Wang Wedding Gown. Mink Pink Sweater + JBrand Jeans. Dolores Park. White Ginger Cosmopolitan + Blue Sapphire Martini + Rose. Jin Wang Wedding Gown + Four Seasons Bridal Fair.
After bidding adieu to my guy early Sunday morning, I high tailed it to the Four Seasons just in time to join my girlfriend (and bridesmaid!) Nicole at the bridal brunch hosted by Gilt City.* We dined on delicious mini quiches, sipped grapefruit mimosas, admired gorgeous Jin Wang wedding gowns and Nicole had her hair styled into a sleek and wedding appropriate pony tail. After brunching we headed downstairs to walk through the vendor filled bridal fair. I would have felt overwhelmed had I not been this far along in my wedding planning but I enjoyed mingling with many bay area vendors and would definitely recommend attending a bridal fair if you're newly engaged and would like a better idea of where to begin with the whole planning process.

Love the shots you snapped! Wedding fairs are always pretty fantastic, but something about the Four Season absolutely puts it over the top!

Hoe fab girl! Looks like a lot of fun!
i never took the time for a bridal brunch or event when i was engaged. that's the one thing i regret. i went with a super non-traditional, outdoor dress, but it would have been fun to have that experience. i've thought about going to one now and pretending my wedding is this summer. :) ssshhh...
