Ahhh January! Yes, it’s the beginning of wedding show season again.

January 10th and 11th at the Vancouver Convention Centre

Sunday night marked the launch of the 2009 issue of aislewalk entitled “timeless”. Once again, the wedding industry came down to the Pacific Palisades to help celebrate the new issue at our annual industry night. Over 190 of Vancouver’s best in the industry were there as we unveiled the new design and it was truly a fabulous night. Special thanks have to go out to the following vendors that lent their talents and expertise to make the event a success this year:
Tanya Peters of milestone events who almost single handedly planned the entire event
Tom at Fireworks for the amazing decor pieces
Denise Halfyard of Halfyard Designs for the beautiful floral
XOXO wines
Deadfrog Brewery
Chad from Smooth Grooves for keeping the party going
Auto Photo for the always popular photobooth
Greg Neufeld of Canadian Idol fame for making some magical music for us
Nicole, David and Karen at Palisades for their never ending support
For the first time we had some fab swag bags containing gifts from Guerlain, Barefoot Venus, Pearl on the Rock, House of Delovely, Inspirasian Creations, Clarins, Delta-Biz, and Globe…Thanks everyone!!
I can’t wait for couples to get their hands on the new issue!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Benefit cosmetics are just plain cool I got a sneek peek from the Benefit team of some new products from their new collection that has a specific wedding theme…can you say cream shadows with names like “Marry Up” and “pre-nup”…silky lipsticks with names like “bouquet drive” and “I do. I do. I do.” I think these might be just too perfect!
Introducing the Chip’s Not Dead Yet Memorial Mile, June 20th, 2008
On Friday night, June 20, lululemon founder Chip Wilson will be hosting the 1st annual 1 mile run, walk, or parade up 10th Avenue hill (from Alma to Blanca). The goal is to raise money for BC Children’s Hospital and have a party!
Run in a wedding theme (bridal or bridesmaid) Run in your underwear Kids ½ mile run Co workers run in the corporate challenge Or we’ll give you a timing chip and see how fast you can get up the hill The goal is to get people to participate, and join in on the festivities. The more people who run, the more money is raised for BC Children’s Hospital. All registration fees and donations will be matched by Chip personally, and ALL proceeds go to the hospital. Every penny!
Bonus: The Bahamas Tourism Office will draw two winners from The Bahamas Bridal Dash wave. Each will win a trip for 2 (airfare, accommodations and island excursions) valued at $10, 000!!
That’s right, only entrants in that wave! Jack FM will announce the winners LIVE that night. So, put that old wedding dress or bridesmaids dress to good use, or just wear anything wedding related (bow tie, garter belt, run with a bouquet). Run in the Bahamas Bridal Dash, get revenge on those friends who tried to embarrass YOU on their big day.
You always knew that you’d dust off those pastel infused, lace covered nightmares one day. Here’s your chance to do the unspeakable, and repeat that puffy number. All for a great cause… and a great reward.
And men are no exception, if you’d like to put on your wife’s best gown, and partake, you can be a winner too.

last night aislewalk attended the opening of wed bridal and the store looks amazing! There are stunning dresses, great spaces, and for a short time, all paintings of Karen Parker that made up the aislewalk fine art of weddings show are being displayed on their freshly painted walls. If you are on the hunt for that perfect dress head in and check them out at www.wedbridal.com
We attended the Rouge over Robson Event at Pacific Palisades and met up with Curt from Clarins who let us in on a little Clarins magic….He let me try it and you better believe I was out the next day picking up a jar for myself. I got mine at London Drugs but it is available at all stores where Clarins is sold, but call first as it sells out fast!
