10 Things We Loved from Stalking the Cream Event on Instagram

Brittny Drye Founder + Editor-in-Chief of Love Inc. Magazine | On-Air Wedding Expert | LGBTQ+ Inclusivity in the Wedding Industry

The Cream Event is basically an explosion of inspiration and wedding ideas all under one roof. A wedding showcase dreamed up and executed by Bash Please, it features the top tier talents in the industry, and this year it was held in Los Angeles, where some of our favorite vendors call home. Unfortunately, we're all the way on the East Coast and since we couldn't be there in person for last weekend's festivities, browsing through the wedding eye candy on Instagram is the next best thing.
