We had the pleasure of attending Jason Matlo's debut bridal fashion show at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. The show was a stunning collection of extremely tailored designs that every woman would want! The dresses were almost like sculptures and held a very regal and elegant presence. The amazing jeweller Tiffany & Co., a name synonymous with beauty, craftsmanship, design and romance provided the perfect accent to the stunning gowns. A lovely mixture of luxury and elegance. Last summer we saw first hand, Matlo's beautiful design for our bride Heather White (wedding featured in WedLuxe Magazine) and we look forward to seeing what Jason Matlo has in-store for us next! Lucky to have a local creative genius in our industry. Enjoy! xoxo
“Classic couture shapes and details are inspired by 1950’s, silhouettes with retreated waist lines and gathered full skirts. The textures, beading, prints and lace are reminiscent of art deco prints. Dove grey, champagne, ecru and black tones create a modern bridal look that although vintage in concept is opulent, chic and modern.” Jason Matlo

I cannot believe that we are well into 2012 – The year begun with a sparkling bang for us! In the last three weeks our boutique company produced six unbelievable events with three gorgeous weddings (one celebrity soiree to boot). This is my first opportunity to take a breath and say THANK YOU to 2011! Another year of incredible firsts for us.
We had the opportunity to be inspired, grow and test our skills in ways we haven’t before and after being in the business for over 10 years I welcome these new opportunities with open arms – as I know from experience a sweet reward is always waiting at the end of a new untrodden path. As I write this many things come flooding into my mind – number one being gratitude. I am so incredibly grateful for the amazing people that support us, our dazzling clientele, our fans and followers (YES YOU!), our partners and collaborators and of course our families and friends who generously share us over weekends and holidays as we attempt to out-do ourselves on the next brilliant bash

The Crème de la Crème Grand Wedding Showcase is a symbol of beauty, luxury and artistry. When creating the signature promo piece for an event like this one, there is a lot of creativity that is needed as well as skill - not to mention the fact that the infamous Preston Bailey would also be represented. We wanted something grand, yet soft and romantic befitting Preston's floral inspirations.
The making of the dress, this particular dress, was a very unique experience. Granville Island Florist was competing against the clock to get this real gown made of light green hydrangeas, white and pink phalaenopsis orchids and soft peach, coral roses.
The "Ooh là là" final product could not have been more of a success! Production and styling of the photoshoot by CountDown Events ,photography by Jana Vackova, Lisa King and Kevin Hill, jewellery by Elsa Corsi , makeup and hairstylists from THEYRep Sonia Leal-Serafim & Katrina Molson, Bisou Bridal bustier and of course flower design by Suzane Lee (thank you for your passion).
A special thanks to The Vancouver Club team, Jenny DeJong and Terry Pritchett for hosting us at their beautiful venue.
