Bridal shows in the Los Angeles area*

So I realize there are a lot of people who enjoy going to bridal shows. These people include brides-to-be, the not-even-engaged, the hoping-to-be-engaged. Vendors generally include everyone from florists, bakers, caterers, event planners, chefs, gift packagers, deejays, bands. When you get all these people into one gargantuan room, that can be just a little overwhelming, which is why I'm not a fan of bridal shows myself.

But there are people who enjoy, nay, want to do this sort of thing, so I figure I'll try to compile a list of bridal shows in the Los Angeles metropolitan area for those who are interested.

Also, if there are events you'd like added, or if you want me to widen my listing to include venue shows (events that showcase a particular venue and their affiliated vendors) or events outside Los Angeles/Orange/Riverside/San Bernardino counties, let me know with a comment.
