Happy planning my dear!

When we plan for our wedding, we want to find wedding vendors that are reliable, have a good reputation, and ones that offer exceptional quality and services. In Vancouver…
I am happy to annouce that we are launching our wedding cake Rating system on our main site
http://EnvyCake.com
!
Rating a wedding cake is simple, when you look at a wedding cake photo, you can choose from a scale of 1 – 5 stars. If you think a cake worth 4 stars out of 5 stars, you just click the 4 stars icon. And after that, you will be shown another wedding cake pictures. By doing so, you will be able to know and go through a lot of random wedding cakes and get an idea what you like and what you don’t like.
I was researching today about my favourite wedding stuffs in Vancouver. I stumbled into a new blog which is started by a new blogger, the blog is called , as simple as that, The Vancouver Wedding Blog. I have personally reached out to this new blogger in town and welcoming a fellow blogger in the Vancouver lower mainland.
I am excited to read the blogger’s first posts, and can’t wait to expand my network in the area.
If you are also a fellow blogger about wedding, lets connect! or maybe we can have regurlar meetings and group together to reach out vendors to get more interesting things to write about!
Welcome the Vancouver Wedding Blog !

Crystal, Sparkling Wedding Cake Designs are timeless, elegant, classy and romantic.
Simple and Chic Wedding Cake Design like the 2 tier-ed white fondant wedding cake accessorized by huge peonies on the right is complemented by the Crystal bands around the base of the tiers, and the tall Crystal Wedding Stand on a Glass plate reflecting more Glam.
Here’s what it will look like from the guests’ point of view:

If you are having a Crystal , Sparkling theme, how about using Crystal to decorate your Wedding Floral designs at the Wedding Ceremony or
Wedding Reception?
I keep seeing Tall, Grand Crystal Floral bases in the Wedding shows this year:
These tall crystal stands are perfect for Hotel Wedding Receptions, or any spacious Wedding Ceremony/Reception Venues =)



Brides Magazine Subscription https://magazine.brides.com
I often had a hard time thinking what to buy for friends’ bridal showers.
Sexy lingerie is fun to shop for.
But really, what’s the chance the Bride-to-be and/or Groom to be will like or use what you buy?
Pampering Spas would be nice but could also be expensive.
I think Bridal Magazine subscription, like Brides Magazine, would not only keep the bride-to-be’s happy and excitement lasting for the entire wedding planning year, but also offers a LOT of ideas for the wedding coming ahead!
Wedding planning involves looking at newest wedding gowns ideas, what gowns fit what shape, trends, for wedding cakes, wedding venues, wedding favors, wedding photographers, wedding decoration, hair, makeup, jewelry….EVERYTHING!
For the price of $17 (12 issues) or $28 (24 issues), what can you buy that is useful, thoughtful, worthwhile, affordable?
This is something your Bride-to-be will read every month before the big wedding day comes.
and every time the bridal magazine comes, your friend will think of you!
I wish someone bought me Bridal Magazine subscription for my wedding planning days~
There was SO MUCH to see @ the Creme de la Creme Wedding Show 2011 @ Four Seasons hotel in Vancouver, BC!!
It was a Wedding Paradise.
So much to see, So much to taste, So much to experience.
Get LOTS of inspirations for your own perfect Wedding!
$45 PER PERSON (includes fashion show, deluxe gift bag & scrumptious tastings & full-scale pampering), and the money was all worth it =)
It was PACKED with people, as crowed as it could be, just like what you would see in Downtown watching the Stanley Cup.
Creme de la Creme Grand Wedding Show almost swept out the entire floor in the Four Seasons Hotel.
The Beautiful dress you see on the poster of the Grand Wedding Show was actually made by flowers! all real flowers!
The 6 feet tall Flower Gown was displayed and you could actually walk up the steps from behind and take pictures in it =) So creative& impressive!

Urban Wedding Show 2011 in Vancouver, BC, Canada:
Each guest would get a big gift bag when they checked in at the reception.
Once you stepped in, you would be attracted by the Live Band performing with such great energy.
Music sets the tone for the day/the event. It is also a way to show the wedding couple’s personality =)
Hint Hint** So if you can afford it, hire a live band!
In the gallery, you will see SideOne Band. 100% ”dynamic, energetic, engaging, polished and infectious”
Love them. They will definitely rock and spice up your Wedding.
As I have long been sharing with you my love for BlingBling Weddings.

Something Fun for you and your Guests @ the Wedding Reception: The Photobooth!
I tried it myself, you can do 4 instant poses and the PhotoBooth prints out within 3 mins! Fun gift for your guests!
I must say a highlight / surprise i find at the wedding show is the Mobile Airbrush Tanning Service @ Vancouver Spray Tan.
It is such a great idea for your wedding party, bridal shower before your wedding!
I think this is something not everyone has experienced. It is such a neat idea!
and hey, it doesn’t stain your dress, it fakes out in 1-2 weeks.
If you want a natural, sun kissed tan & don’t want aging skin from the UV rays, try it out!
I met Trish & Jason @ Callaghan Photography.
SUPER-Nice.
They put up the nicest booth at the wedding show, they put a lot of effort in their work.
You want to find a wedding photographer who listens to you, attend to your needs, give you creative and professional suggestions with heart, and NICE and GENUINE personality to work with.
