Planning a wedding is A LOT.
Considering most only do it once, (or at least hope that’s the case) there really isn’t room for error. With all the options from location, to the flavor of cake and everything in between, how a girl is ever supposed to make a decision -or even remember everything- is beyond me!
Cue our saving grace, the Wedding Salon.
Located in the heart of Mid-town Manhattan, the Wedding Salon founder Tatiana Byron completely understood how overwhelming wedding planning could be and began striving to ease the pain.
By creating showcases that gave vendors a chance to build their business, while allowing brides and their ‘posses’ to consider hundreds of choices and find inspiration for the big day, Tatiana was able to bring the joy back to wedding planning across the country!
This past week, The Stewart Hotel housed NYC’s Wedding Salon and brought in brides by the thousands! If you weren’t one of the lucky ladies who were in attendance, don’t worry! We’ve got the exclusive rundown for you.
