Today has been a jam packed day of wedding tips and trends from both the east and west coasts. First up this morning, were the wedding tips from NYC vendors at the Wedding Bootcamp that I attended. And, earlier today, I also posted five tips for selecting your reception venue. And, lastly, while I couldn't attend the recent Wedding Bootcamp in LA, The Wedding Salon was kind enough to send over some photos and wedding tips that the vendors on the west coast shared with brides and grooms at Hansen's Cakes.

Tiffany Photography advised brides on how to get the most for your money by focusing on quality versus quantity

Hansen's Cakes displayed their amazing buttercream-frosted cakes revealing that buttercream creations can surpass fondant any day

R-Mine Bridal showcased their gorgeous gowns and shared how to find the one that suits your style, figure and budget. They also showcased a fabulous trend – belted gowns with crystal embellishments

Lanalia offered tips on how to find the perfect pair of shoes to compliment your dress and keep you from resorting to flip flops at the end of the night

The complete list of wedding vendors for the LA Wedding Bootcamp included:
Hansen's Cakes, Tiffany Photography, The Dressing Room Diva, Envelopments, Eventures Inc, Focus Photography, Lanalia, Tasty Sounds Entertainment, The Resort at Pelican Hill, R-Mine Bridal, Kona Village
