Glamour & Gold at The Wallace…so this is love! So says the sign glowing above the newlywed’s sweetheart table in this spectacular style shoot. Vancouver wedding professionals outdid themselves, showing off modern trends in a boho venue. What an honor to feature this pretty in our magazine!

The Wallace is a venue that has it all for the Vancouver bride. Industrial glamour mixes with sophisticated lines. Located on the waterfront of North Vancouver, it boasts amazing views of Vancouver Harbour—the perfect spot for a Vancouver wedding reception. 

AJD Designs fashioned the floral masterpieces with textures and a trendy mix of dried and fresh flowers. The bride’s bouquet, created with pretty pastels and dark greenery, brought everyone’s eyes to the gorgeous bride. We especially love the ceiling masterpiece and the unusual use of palm leaves. 

Let’s talk about the ivory-colored gowns (yes, you read that right – two gowns!) from Isabelle’s Bridal. This bride and groom are pinnacles of sophisticated style. Pinterest worthy in every way. The bride’s makeup is smoky and works with the palette around her and her smoldering groom! 

Steveston Creative’s neon “so this is love” sign floated above all the pretty to give the ‘wow’ effect. Lonsdale Event Rentals, Mohani Event Design, and Pretty Things knocked it out of the park with this moody collection of beautiful designs. The black touches are perfectly suited to pop amongst the backdrop of neutral tones. The black candles, wine glasses, plates (with gold foil edges!), and black chairs are stunning. The paper suite is the gold standard bringing everything together with a bow. 

The best part of this shoot is the real-life newlyweds, who you might recognize! Vancouver Warrior’s Lacrosse player James Rahe and his beautiful wife, Shustine. This is a true BC wedding-style shoot that brings together the best of Vancouver.

West Coast Weddings Magazine Vancouver 2024

A new issue, new ownership, and a new outlook! West Coast Weddings Magazine released the newest 2024 British Columbia issue with an emphasis on the Greater Vancouver area including weddings and events from Vancouver Island and the Interior. The future plan is to have issues covering the entire province as well as a Vancouver Island local issue.

The latest magazine builds on the previous 10 issues with a downtown Vancouver fashion spread, a local designer highlight page, and a new look to the vendor directory. The beautiful venues of the Greater Vancouver area grace several pages along with real weddings and styled shoots. 

The new issue surprised guests at the West Coast Weddings Industry Evening at Hilton Vancouver Metrotown and everyone was leafing through the glossy pages! Couples who attended the West Coast Wedding Show on May 5th found the issue in their swag bags and expressed their appreciation for a magazine that highlights local talent.

We can’t thank Gabe McClintock Photography enough for this issue’s cover photo. It was a unanimous decision that this photo was THE one! The wildness of the ocean symbolizes the journey the couple is embarking on, and that is emblematic of our ventures as well. It’s a match made in heaven, so to speak! 

Looking forward, we plan to focus on British Columbia vendors and the clients for whom they create lifelong memories. Enjoy the pages of West Coast Weddings Magazines + stay tuned for more announcements and events!

New Moon Bridal Inspiration! A photoshoot that came together from women who wanted to showcase a vintage, romantic, and timeless feel, showing a strong-willed woman as a bride. This palette steers clear from a conventional bridal look and rather, presents a chic yet soft vibe with a gorgeous, androgynous pantsuit. The location is at “The Wallace” – a venue by the shipyards in North Vancouver which explains the industrial look! We loved the modern look to show that women can feel beautiful and sexy in attire that is not a traditional wedding dress.
