I’ve been to many special weddings; but, the most important wedding I’ve ever been to was my own. The only bridal show I attended was A Dream Wedding’s, The Dream Day Bridal Show. This year, 2012 starts off with another informative, incredible Dream Day Bridal Show on January 8th at Doubletree Hotel Sonoma Wine Country in Rohnert Park.

A Dream Wedding, owned by expert wedding planner Robbin Montero, offers Tips for Attending Bridal Shows that were extremely helpful when I attended. With over 95 booths scheduled for The Dream Day Bridal Show from a variety of top-notch vendors, following the advice from the professionals makes the experience stress-free and extremely satisfying.
One of the most important tips I learned was to bring family or friends who could help in the search for the perfect wedding vendors. This year, The Dream Day Bridal Show invites brides to attend free of charge when accompanied by two adult paid guests and pre-registered online.
Upon arrival, CPA Valet will be providing complimentary valet parking. The first 50 brides to arrive will receive a gift certificate from Hyatt Vineyard Creek’s Brasserie Restaurant. There will be opportunities for brides (and grooms!) to win one of many prizes including two grand prizes featuring a Romantic Weekend Getaway from Doubletree by Hotel Sonoma Wine Country and a Rehearsal Dinner with a $5,000 value from Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn.

Along with vendors and prizes, The Dream Day Bridal Show will host a Bridal Beauty Bar where brides will receive mini make-overs and learn beauty tips from beauty professionals. New this year is the Fashion Salon where brides can view the latest bridal gown trends while sipping pink champagne.
The Dream Day Bridal Show also presents informative Wedding Planning Seminars. The first seminar presented by floral designer and owner of Fleurs de France, Jessica Switala, teaches how to use colors, layering, and textures of linens and florals to create beautiful tabletop design. Her work has been featured in Style Me Pretty, Brides magazine, The Knot, SF Brides, and Project Wedding. The second seminar presented by wedding expert and owner of A Dream Wedding, Robbin Montero, provides the opportunity for brides to ask questions and learn about wedding etiquette, trends, and much more. Robbin Montero and A Dream Wedding have been featured in many articles, including those for The Knot, Modern Bride, Brides, The Press Democrat, and Travel and Leisure Magazine.
