Michael George flaunts his "Fabulous Florals" alongside the displays of Aisling Studio, which crafted a floral design for "Sex and the City: The Movie." Plus, cake connoisseur Sylvia Weinstock (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas) dishes on her perfect picks for mouth-watering, Da Vinci-worthy delights.

The hall also featureed reps from the top-of-the-line in venues, invitations, photographers and more.

Even couples who can't foot the $1 million wedding rings or the $100,000 gown on display enjoyed  complimentary cocktails from Hpnotiq at the Bubbles & Blue bar, free appetizers and beauty treatments, plus a deluxe gift bag packed with more than $500 of bridal swag. Close to one thousand attended the event.
