From the Editors
Weddings are always about certain constants - two people in love,
gorgeous flowers, a beautiful gown, family and friends all around - but
how a couple chooses to wed is changing.
Natural venues are fast becoming the norm as couples exchange vows
in forests, on beaches and at the top of mountains. Traditional venues
are bedecked with loads of greenery and florals. Lace boho gowns are
gracing even the most sophisticated of nuptials and dapper guys are
donning blue and grey suits with zest.
Vancouver is the epitomy of nature colliding with sophistication.
Weddings in the mainland area embrace this fusion of forest, water and
vibrant city. We are excited to showcase the naturally beautiful weddings
of the West Coast!
Please visit us at our website and on social media where
we share #westcoastweddingstory #westcoastweddingpro
#westcoastweddingeditorials and #westcoastweddingshows!
