    I went!  It wasn't that great, just 5-ish vendors (mainly for invitations, photography, makeup).  Gossamer Collective is pretty small, but there was lots of champange and cookies/cheese/other random treats in the back of the store. 

    You paid $8 at the entry, you got a bridal magazine (from Bride & Groom or Seattle Bride) and a little gift bag full of business cards, a few coupons from the vendors there, a chocolate Dove candy, and some facial/beauty samples. 

    I thought the invites there were overpriced, and not nearly as amazing as the DIY invites I've seen on this board.  I already have my photog, so I didn't chat with the photogs that were there.  I entered a raffle for a discount with the MUA there.

    It really wasn't very vintage oriented imo, yeah the store the event was taking place at was vintage decorated, but the vendors there.... not so much.

    Hint to the Knot Gods and/or lurking vendors:

    I was really disappointed! The store was like 500 sq ft of nothing... $8 for champagne & a dove chocolate candy... blah. I had 1 glass of champagne... I don't like chocolate... and I already had both of those magazines. Oh well. It was a fun day trip that turned into going out for beers aka lunch.. :)

    Creepy "bridalvendor,"

    This happened back in March, read the posts, you can probably figure out all the details if you google a couple of the names.

    lol mgoss, i've already emailed the mod about bridalvendor. mod has been super busy though since she started a new job, so it might take a few days before anything happens. i wonder why said vendor has dug up posts from march?
