Juicy, Juicy Colors + Insane Florals! It’s the Modern Love Event Recap in San Diego

Modern Love Event San Diego

Ya’ll need to sit down for this one! Back in February, Julep in San Diego played host to the most fascinating bridal show to date. We’re talking about an interactive, Pinterest-worthy wedding experience that blows minds! The Modern Love Event team did it again by gathering all of the most talented people in the wedding industry + letting them fly free!

If you can’t even begin to visualize this level of inspiration, let us paint a picture for you: a magical, interactive party put on by wildly talented professionals from the floristry, stationery, design, planning + attire wedding categories. Yes! It’s every-amazing-thing you’re imagining. Attendants were dazzled with an array of live demos, delicious treats, custom cocktails, and a slew of other genius ideas. 

Now, for those of you that couldn’t make it out to San Diego, we’re dishing all the details here today. Inspiration overload in the best way begins right now-

Jumping right into this crazy color scene by Fawn Events – all photos by Mandy Ford:
