If you and your beau joined the likes of Lady Gaga and Benedict Cumberbatch (and their respective S.O.s) in taking your relationship to the next level on Valentine's Day, congrats. Next month, engaged LA lovebirds can tackle the next order of business at Luxe Hotel on Sunset Boulevard, where pro bridal stylist Renée Strauss returns with her second wedding planning showcase.

Happening Monday, March 9th from 4 to 8pm, the luxe bridal event will feature a romantic Italian theme, complete with Renaissance-era decor and Venice-inspired vibes. Expect to find over 40 exhibitors offering gowns, menswear, event and travel planning, custom stationery, catering, photography, beauty services, luxury accommodations, and more. Vendors include Justina Bridal, men's styling and shopping service Trunk Club, Sprinkles Cupcakes, Vespa, high-end WeHo boutique Mayfair House, and many others.

In addition, there'll be a live bridal show, a mock wedding, a beauty bar and groom's lounge, dinner and dessert tastings, swag bags valued at over $400, a chance to win an nine-day Italy getaway, and much more.

Getting hitched? Tickets are available at the door for $85, online for $60 before February 24th (use code "BRIDE") or $75 after; see the full vendor lineup and buy tickets online here.
