blo | north america's original blow dry bar

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of attending a fun and girly wedding event sponsored by Blo Blow Dry Bar in two penthouse suites of the Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver. A select group of vendors shared their products, services, and creativity with brides. Wedding professionals such as Jeweliette, Bisou Bridal, Upright Decor, and Hong Photography were in attendance, as well as beauty services such as Noir Lash Lounge, Pure Smile Studio, and of course, Blo Blow Dry Bar.

While sipping champagne and enjoying bite-sized canapes by the Four Seasons Hotel, brides tried on hair accessories and veils, got their lashes done, perused gowns and table top decor, and had their photos taken.

Our Managing Editor’s favourite gown was this lushly textured and dreamy ball gown by Monique Lhuillier, available at Bisou Bridal. Texture and layers of chiffon, tulle and silk are on-trend for Spring/Summer 2010 and can be found in any sillouette, from mermaid, to empire waist Grecian a-lines, to full ball gowns.

Upright Decor created this elegant and exotic-feeling tablescape, perfect for the bride that wants a warm and inviting mood for her wedding.

Dennis Gocer of The Collective You took photos of guests that were printed in black & white almost immediately on glossy 8 x 10 sheets. Photos can then be signed, autograph-style, as keepsakes for the bride and groom with smaller versions for guests to take home.

All of us from Real Weddings fell in love with these beautiful cakes by Rebekah Brooks of Big Cake Little Cake. Rebekah not only accepts private clients but also designs cakes for The Four Seasons Hotel. Whimsical yet intricate in detail and design, these delicate-looking cakes come in some very delicious flavours.

At the end of the evening, girls left with lovely gift bags containing, among other things, a complimentary copy of Real Weddings Magazine! As the event’s media sponsor, we wanted to make sure brides left with some more inspiration for their big day!

Thank you to Val, Hilary and the staff at Blo Blow Dry Bar for organizing such a great event!
