Let's be honest, getting married is about the champagne and the cake and the party. Not necessarily about what it takes to put together the damn thing. Style Down the Aisle, is happening soon and we'd like to tell you a short bit about this lifestyle show highlighting trends in fashion, home and entertaining for the bridal market. The event will unveil the Conrad Chicago's new Conrad Ballroom on the evening of August 29th- there will be gay hosts and a bunch of wedding -like people and stores bringing their expertise too. Think interactive vignettes of fashion, delicious food and a plethora of cocktails capturing the essence of design simplified for everyday life. [Racked Inbox]
