About
Wedding Salon has been producing upscale bridal showcases since 2004, creating an elevated event experience for engaged couples and wedding industry professionals alike. Held in major metropolitan markets — including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami — each one-day showcase is produced in collaboration with Martha Stewart Weddings, lending a prestige that sets it apart from standard bridal expos. For attendees, events offer an immersive wedding planning experience complete with wedding cake tastings, cocktails, wedding fashion presentations, honeymoon and wedding giveaways, swag bags, and the opportunity to meet celebrity wedding professionals face-to-face. Couples can explore a wide range of vendor categories including bridal gowns, venues, floral design, photography, and more — all under one roof. For vendors and exhibitors, Wedding Salon provides a targeted marketing platform to connect directly with engaged couples actively planning their weddings. Exhibitors benefit from dedicated show marketing support, direct access to wedding planners, and a high-quality audience ready to make purchasing decisions. The platform also features an online resource hub with a local vendor directory, image gallery, and a wedding planning blog. Whether you're a bride-to-be seeking inspiration, a wedding planner scouting the latest trends, or a vendor looking to grow clientele, Wedding Salon delivers a refined, results-oriented environment for the wedding industry.
