Wedding Show Vancouver : 2012 Dare to Dream Bridal Show at the Pan Pacific

    Video High­lights from the 2nd Annual Dare to Dream Wed­ding Show, Vancouver

    Last Sun­day brides-to-be arrived with friends and fam­ily (and even some grooms-to-be!) to expe­ri­ence the Dare to Dream Wed­ding Show Van­cou­ver. This was the sec­ond year of the show, pro­duced by Some­thing Bor­rowed Wed­ding & Event Plan­ning, and held at the stun­ning Pan Pacific Van­cou­ver.

    This year the show promised an exclu­sive col­lec­tion of wed­ding sup­pli­ers and it cer­tainly didn’t disappoint.

    I actu­ally stopped by the Pan Pacific’s Ocean View Ball­room the day before. I wanted to get a feel for the space and the light­ing. From what I saw, it was a sim­ple space. Your clas­sic hotel ball­room. Mind you, your typ­i­cal ball­room doesn’t offer a spec­tac­u­lar view of Van­cou­ver Har­bour. There were also a bunch of rec­tan­gu­lar tables placed around the edges of the room and a small, square dance floor, but oth­er­wise noth­ing note­wor­thy out­side of the view.

    When I arrived the fol­low­ing day, I was absolutely amazed to see how it had trans­formed. Or rather, how Upright Decor & Design and Tala Florist had trans­formed it. Colin, Ingrid, Jay & their team from Upright Decor & Design had obvi­ously been work­ing over­time, doing an incred­i­ble job trans­form­ing the space into a visual feast. And Has­san & Louisa from Tala Florist came in to put on the fin­ish­ing touches with some gor­geous flo­ral arrangements.

    Soon DJ Leanne from GirlOn­Wax arrived to set the mood. Peter Fong of Ganache Patis­serie care­fully con­structed a pyra­mid of tasty take-home treats (see photo). And Angela of Pho­to­booth Van­cou­ver had show-goers eager to test out their Por­trait Station.

    It’s easy to see why every­one was so happy to min­gle and chat about every­thing bridal!

    In addi­tion to the col­lec­tion of elite wed­ding sup­pli­ers, atten­dees were treated to a beau­ti­ful bridal show. The show fea­tured gor­geous bridal gowns, brides­maids dresses and men’s suits. Bridal wear was pro­vided by the unmis­tak­able Bisou Bridal, brides­maids dresses from Wear Else, and the suits from Brooks Broth­ers.

    The last thing I’ll men­tion is the one thing I per­son­ally like most about this par­tic­u­lar wed­ding show…it has a heart. It’s one thing to expe­ri­ence a fan­tas­tic wed­ding show that delights you with sights, sounds and tastes. It’s another to know that your par­tic­i­pa­tion (as an attendee or ven­dor) also ben­e­fits a good cause. The pro­ceeds from the Dare to Dream Bridal Show are donated to Canuck Place Children’s Hos­pice. Canuck Place is an amaz­ing orga­ni­za­tion that sup­ports chil­dren and fam­i­lies that need and deserve help.

    A spe­cial thank you to Are­zoo Aliperti of Some­thing Bor­rowed Wed­ding & Event Plan­ning. Are­zoo is the pro­ducer of the Dare to Dream Wed­ding Show. It’s her pas­sion that fuels this event and the sup­port of Canuck Place.
