It’s My Wedding had been an idea for years that has now come to life in the beautiful Fraser Valley.

“The Valley needs a large scale wedding show.” We always said. “One that’s family oriented, fun and informative, with a fashion show that shows the best bridal fashions and is also entertaining.”So…..that’s exactly what we did!

We have brought the Valley’s best in the wedding industry together and put them all under one roof for brides, grooms, and the whole wedding party to be included in the planning process.

Your Wedding, Your Style, Your Way!

We sincerely wish you enjoy the show.

Most people would expect to find a boutique like Ivory Bridal in Yaletown, Vancouver, or perhaps in fashionable Yorkville, Toronto, but Ivory Bridal is located in Langley because co-owner Michelle White “wanted to bring this level of fashion and quality to the Fraser Valley, There is nothing like us out this way.”

Ivory Bridal was recognized recently by the Langley Chamber of Commerce as Small Business of the Year in its annual Business Excellence Awards. Michelle and her mother, Sue Miller, opened the boutique for women in early 2008, combining White’s dream to own a women’s high end fashion boutique with Miller’s ambition to serve brides and bridal parties. “We approached it in a different manner,” White explains. “You can come in and touch the dresses and you’ll see them all lined up – not in plastic bags. We have a really well edited selection – and our number one priority is giving the best customer service possible.”

When a bride comes to Ivory Bridal, she does so by appointment and for one hour it’s truly all about her – her dreams, her dream dress, her colours and even her accessories. She chooses from fashion forward wedding gowns with three lines by Canadian Designers. White notes that they always look for Canadian-made first, including accessories and jewellery.

Ivory Bridal caters to brides from Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Interior and even from as far away as the U.K. Ivory Bridal’s selection of dresses continuously evolves, keeping the selection fresh and on top of the latest trends.

Ivory Bridal is located at D109–20159 88th Ave in Langley. www.ivorybridal.ca

The Dress.We get it, this is probably THE most important dress you will ever wear. You need it to be the prettiest/pouffiest/sexiest/classiest/best-est dress ever. You want it to be flattering, comfortable and reflect your style as well as fit in with the look and feel of the event you’ve spent endless hours planning. Oh, and it has to wow everyone (ESPECIALLY that certain someone) when you walk/dance/skip down the aisle.Is that asking a lot? Not to us. We specialize in the hard to fit and impossible to find.

What is the “Perfect Dress”?Well, that depends on you. For some people it’s white... for others it’s red, pink or blue. It could be short, long or both (convertible!) It could be pants. It might be a dress you’d like to be able to wear again and it might be a re-styled version of your mother’s dress. The point is, it’s differ-ent for everyone and although you may not have had the vision of your perfect dress since the age of five, we’re sure you still have some ideas floating around! Having your dress custom made ensures you will get the perfect dress for you, whatever that may be.

Still Not Sure?

No problem! We know some people are nervous because they can’t try before they buy, but that’s not exactly how it works. * The first consultation is free of charge. No commitments, no deposits, no pressure. We just want to give you the opportunity to meet us in person, discuss your ideas and help you decide if our process is right for you. * The next step in the process is where we take all of your ideas (and your budget!) and do some sketches for you to show you ways to put all the bits and pieces you love into one fabulous dress. Sometimes it’s not possible to include everything you love, but we’ll do our best to help you prioritize what you love the most. We don’t want you looking like an over-decorated Christmas tree and we’ll find the nicest way to tell you if that’s the direction you’re headed! This stage does require a small booking deposit, but don’t worry - the payment of $100 will be applied to your final invoice for your dress. * Once we’ve looked at your drawings together and helped you choose your fabrics, we write all of the details in an agreement along with the total cost of your dress. No surprise charges when your dress is done. * The first fitting we do is in a test fabric. This gives you a sneak peek at the style on your body and allows us to make fit adjustments. We do this super important step just in case there are any changes to be done before we cut the pretty fabric. * Next come the fittings in what will eventually be your dress. Fear not, we’ll take it slow... start-ing with the inside structural layers, moving to the pretty fabrics you chose and finishing with the perfect details. As we said, no surprises. You will have several opportunities to tweak and tune as your dress comes together before your very eyes.

We invite you to book a consultation to discuss your plans, concerns and ideas. Like we said, there’s no pressure or commitment. And if you decide our process isn’t the right choice for you, that’s okay. We still hope you’ll leave inspired and excited about your dress.

pure (something) clothing is located at 350-440 West Hastings Street in Vancouver.

Congratulations on your engagement! This is just the beginning of a marvelous

journey. The next few weeks and months leading up to your wedding will be among the busiest and happiest of your life. Your mind will be spinning with all the decisions you’ll need to make – a whirl of details pulling you in a hundred directions at once. It’s easy to get caught up in the hectic pace and lose the joy and excitement of this wonderful time... What you need to do is sit down, take a deep breath and relax. We’re here to help make registering easy for you!

Registering with Sears Request is one of the best things you could do for you and for your wedding guests. You make it easy for your family and friends to choose the gifts you need; the gifts you want. No more duplicates. No more guessing.

Through our catalogues and retail stores, we offer you over 50,000 items to choose from. Gifts you’ll not only use today, but for years to come. If you’re just starting out, building a life together, Sears offers you the wide range of products and brand names you know and trust. Even if you have a well stocked kitchen and full linen closet, Sears Request is for you. The harder you are to buy for, the easier you make it for your guests when you register with Sears. So why not register for patio furniture, garden, sports or camping equipment, tools, home electronics or even major appliances. Consider Sears gift cards as an option -- they’re redeemable for all Sears merchandise and services, including Sears Travel. Your registry will remain on our computerized system after your wedding as a handy gift reference for all those other special occasions in your life.

Your family and friends are going to want to give you something special for your wedding day. Why not make it something you really want? Sears Gift Registry lets you register in the manner that suits you. You can register online at sears.ca or by using the gift registry kiosk located in most Sears retail stores.

You may want to begin registering about 4 months before your wedding. Be sure to include a variety of gifts at various price points. You’ll want lots of lower priced items for shower gift selections. And don’t be afraid to ask for higher priced items -- you may find that a group of friends or relatives would like to pitch in to buy a larger gift together such as furniture or major appliance.

To place a gift registry order, add items to a registry or for any other gift registry inquiries please visit your local Sears store or call 1-800-211-2111.

Every bride is different, every wedding is unique. That’s why at Everything But The Groom Bridal Boutique, we focus on finding the dress that perfectly suits your personality, on your budget, for your special day.

People ask us what are this year’s trends, but that’s not what’s important. What matters is what suits you. “Our goal is to help girls find the dress of their dreams. It’s your day; it has to be special,” said Heidi Tobler, who co-owns the Langley City bridal shop with Kristy Goranko.

At Everything But The Groom, Tobler, Goranko, and their knowledgeable staff pride themselves on offering exemplary service in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. With more than 175 wedding gowns featured in-store, there is a dress for every size and for every budget.

“Whether you want to spend $200 or $2,000, we have a style that will reflect the person you are,” said Tobler. Whether it’s a traditional look of elegance and sophistication, or something fun and a little more daring, chances are you will find what you are looking for at Everything But The Groom. The store also features a large selection of plus size gowns, as well as dresses suitable for destination weddings, with slimmer lines, lighter fabrics, and smaller trains, perfect for packing up and wearing on a beach.

All members of your bridal party - from the bridesmaids and the flower girl to the mother of the bride - will find a large assortment of dresses in a variety of fabrics and colours to chose from. The shop also offers shoes, jewelry, veils, headpieces, and even Spanx to perfect your look. Those looking for shower or engagement gifts or fun novelties for a staggette will also find a variety of unique items for sale.

This season, brides may notice slimmer wedding gowns, shorter bridesmaid dresses, and the option to add colour with a sash. Shorter wedding gowns are becoming more popular, and some brides are choosing to go with two dresses: a formal gown for the ceremony, and a shorter, more casual party dress for the reception. “But when it comes to choosing a dress for your wedding, the rules go out the window,” said Tobler. “Go with what really suits you personally.”

Everything But the Groom will be featured in the It’s My Wedding fashion show three times per day. Please stop by our booth where we have a large selection of wedding dresses for sale at exceptional prices. Fitting rooms and staff will be available so please feel free to try our gowns on.

Everything But The Groom is centrally located in the City of Langley, between Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, at 20538 Fraser Highway.

Call 604-534-WISH (9474) or visit everythingbutthegroom.ca. Walk-ins are welcome, but to ensure the best possible experience, please call ahead and book an appointment for your party.

For the past six years, Kathryn has been working one on one with brides creating custom gowns under her pure (something) label. Although brides have come from as far away as Nova Scotia to meet with Kathryn and have her custom design the perfect wedding dress, she realizes that not every bride may want to travel to beautiful (but rainy) Vancouver in order to make their wedding day dreams come true.

Using the experience she has gained as a custom designer and dressmaker, Kathryn has taken on a new challenge. Combining her extensive knowledge of fit and construction with her experience gained from working personally with many brides (and of course her love for pretty things), Kathryn has designed a retail collection aimed at making her signature style available to a wider audience.

The Kathryn Bass collection features gowns with a variety of silhouettes and fabrics all created with her exceptional attention to detail. Unable to stray too far from her made-to-measure roots, the Kathryn Bass dresses are surprisingly customizable for off-the-rack gowns.

Almost all of her dresses come with a choice of silk or synthetic fabrics, making the line affordable to a wide range of budgets. Each dress also has several colour options included and if the colours still don’t seem quite perfect, special-order colour options are also available.

Visit our website or contact us directly to find out where the collection can be seen in stores.

Kristal BarrettLive performance Saturday @ 2:15pm

“High on life…a feeling that’s tough to let go of when you’re surrounded with family, friends and fans who lend their endless support, and have encouraged me every step of the way. “Since her 1998, YTV Achievement Award nomination, there have been many singing competitions and live performances for Kristal Barrett, including opening for Donna Ferra, Aaron Lines, The Good Brothers, Aaron Pritchett, Ronnie Hawkins, Deric Ruttan, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and many more.

In 2003 Kristal moved to Toronto to focus on her dream of writing, recording, and performing country music. The tough road led her to Music Mentor Productions and producer/songwriter Peter Linseman, where she recorded background vocals on Donna Ferra’s debut CD release “Waited Long Enough” and had the opportunity to go on a small tour across Ontario. Two years later the B.C native returned to work at her local country radio station in Abbotsford, BC, Country 107.1, and by the end of the year, was nominated for two BC Country Music Awards: Rising Star and Website of the Year! Kristal also won “Media Idol” for B.C and was flown to Toronto to compete live with the winners from across Canada on the Canadian Idol Finale while her first single “High on Life” debuted on Canadian Country Radio nationally. In October 2007 Kristal was nominated for three more BC Country Music Awards: Rising Star Award, Website of the Year and the Humanitarian Award. 2008 kicked off with the release of her second single “This Time Next Year” which was voted the #1 song in the Top 5 @ 5 for six consecutive weeks on Country 107.1! Many more shows followed including Merritt Mountain Music Festival and another BCCMA nomination in October 2008. The 3rd radio single titled “Tennessee” was released at the start of 2009 and was written by Kristal Barrett and Peter Linseman. 2009 has been filled with many great shows including opening for Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the Cloverdale Radio, The Abbotsford Agrifair, The Berry beat Festival, The Duke of Dublin and many more. Kristal is currently songwriting for her second album that she will release in Fall 2010. Kristal’s biggest dream is to inspire people with her positive lyrics and

her motto for life because, “I’m high on life and what’s to come!”

She’s designed wedding invitations, arranged flowers, decorated halls, and even cut and served many cakes.

She started the workshops teaching them privately and now teaches them at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford. The website started about 5 years ago as a resource for her students and a way to list the many valuable resources she’s collected over the years. She loves the valley and connecting couples with the many amazing wedding vendors we have out here.
