Kelowna Bridal Show Highlights

Well Sunday last was quite something. The Bridal Show was attended by close to a 1000 attendees, all looking for information to help them with their planning. A wonderful attraction for couples from Alberta or other, far off locations who are looking at the Okanagan for their Destination Wedding. Here they can research multiple suppliers at one stop, or find a wedding planner to assist them.

I was most fortunate to speak with almost 150 brides–to-be and even some of their fiancés, mothers and brides maids. It was great meeting you all and listening to some of your wedding plans and even stories of wedding jitters. I had bridal bouquets available so some of the girls could practice holding them, which helped them get in the Bridal mood.

There was such a hub of excitement from the visitors and gorgeous color and presentations from the floral, décor and cake exhibitors. Awesome wedding gowns and the three models sitting in mannequin poses were a fantastic addition to the show.
I am a Florist with 18 years experience and could have done the flowers for the booth, but instead I enlisted my long time colleague (Debra Olstad) to create some fabulous floral arrangements for me.
If anyone is still looking for a florist, I would truly recommend her services. You can contact me to organize your floral needs as well as any planning or Coordination for your Big Day!


Congratulations go to Jen Wilson, of West Kelowna who won my booth prize for a “Wedding Planner” binder. This book is a place she can keep all her wedding ideas, plans and arrangements in one convenient, fully transportable file.
So to all of you lovely ladies who will marry this bridal season, I wish you much joy and happiness in your celebrations and remember if you need my guidance, I’m only a phone call away. Do send me photos and comments – I’d love to share in your special day!

Your promise as a couple is rock-solid. The strength of a pair is more than that of just one person. Time may blur the particulars of your wedding day, so savor these beautiful moments – it definitely makes the beginnings of happiness.
Destination Okanagan

Destination weddings are ideal for many couples. Flying to far away destinations is popular. However it doesn’t work for some. The idea of getting married so far from home usually means that only a few closest to the family will be in attendance, and many cannot be there to share in your special day. That’s where the Okanagan is a great new DESTINATION ALTERNATIVE.
You don’t have to travel the world when you have the Okanagan’s extraordinary natural beauty within easy reach for you’re wedding celebration and honeymoon retreat. The Okanagan is one of the hottest destinations in Canada and is referred to as the “Napa of the North”, a picture perfect, all season playground.
You and your Wedding Guests will enjoy the unique and varied options the Okanagan offers. There’s a little something there for everyone on your guest list. The recreational opportunities alone are vast; clean lakes, water sports, excellent golf courses, award winning wineries, casinos, fruit orchards and all that blissful sunshine.


Couples from all over North America are discovering the Okanagan to combine a unique wedding with a fun vacation for themselves and their guests.
Let our consultants design your dream day while you relax and enjoy the magical moments of your wedding in the Okanagan Valley.

Beachside “I Dos”

The closest thing to being in Tuscany is to have your ceremony in a vineyard with the lake as a backdrop. Photos amongst the vines and locally grown award winning sparkling wine, for your toast.

Exceptional outdoor locations with truly unique and beautiful settings for both your ceremony and reception. Choose from a gazebo overlooking the 9th hole or the view down a canyon.

Acres of stunningly magnificent gardens, outdoor chapels, pergolas and lush, fragrant flower beds as a backdrop for your wedding ceremony. It’s hard to choose between the Perennial gardens or Lavender fields for your photographic opportunities.

Mountain Retreat
Imagine saying your vows on a mountain top with fresh mountain air and wildflower fields filled with butterflies. Two ski villages to choose from with reasonable rates.
