			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy friday, spring chickens! We thought we&#8217;d give a shout out to some happenings around our site and the internets before we head off into the weekend.</p>
<p>First, we found these beautiful people hiding in <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/vendors">our vendor guide</a>. There are so many talented people in there, just waiting for you to book them for your weddings and events.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30487" title="wedding photographer" src="http://www.100layercake.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wedding-vendors-0513.jpg" alt="wedding photographer" width="587" height="1032" /></p>
<p>Super cute vintage rentals from <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/vendors/view/1235/mrs-vintage-a-rental-boutique" target="_blank">Mrs. Vintage Rental Boutique</a>.<br />
Heirloom-quality bridal accessories <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/vendors/view/1232/olivia-nelson" target="_blank">Olivia Nelson</a>.<br />
Beautiful tablescapes and design from <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/vendors/view/323/dm-events" target="_blank">DM Events</a> and <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/vendors/view/1188/15/couture-events-by-lottie" target="_blank">Couture Events by Lottie</a>.<br />
And Yummy photography from <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/vendors/view/611/red-gallery-photography" target="_blank">Red Gallery Photography</a> and <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/vendors/view/1221/ll-style-photo" target="_blank">LL Style Photo</a>.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s so much more. If you&#8217;re already married, you needn&#8217;t miss out on the fun. These talented people are almost always willing to work with you for smaller events too. Maternity photos, kids birthday parties, anniversaries&#8230; the engaged needn&#8217;t have all the fun. And vendors, remember, it&#8217;s only $150/year to <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/vendors">join our guide</a>!</p>

<p>In super fun news, our newest member of the 100 Layer Cake team, Junia, is off to Spain next week with her hubs Andrés to document the <a href="http://www.pronovias.us/" target="_blank">Pronovias bridal show</a> for us. Isn&#8217;t that awesome?! We&#8217;re so excited for their little adventure. Big thanks to <a href="http://www.pronovias.us/" target="_blank">Pronovias</a> for the invite!</p>
