THE FIRST LOOK AUTUMN 2019 // WEDDING SHOW RECAP
How is it possible that another year has come and gone, taking with it another successful celebration of The First Look wedding show here in beautiful Niagara. It started with a dream to transform the brand new event space at Ravine Vineyard, our host venue, into a place that felt warm and cozy yet bustling with energy, and little by little the details stitched themselves together to do just that. The intimacy of The First Look is something we here at Vineyard Bride take seriously, and we never want the show to feel so big that we lose that comfortable, casual feeling.
Every exhibitor put their best foot forward creating their displays and booths, coming together to provide our guests with a spectacular show of forward-thinking, elegant, top-notch details and designs. Everything was simply lovely, and our guests continually commented on how pretty the show was — we are so grateful to our vendors for providing this experience for our attendees!
We have to take a moment to thank all of our kind, generous, warm-hearted sponsors for all the time, dedication, products and services they provided to make The First Look as special and beautiful as it was:
For designing the loveliest floral archway to welcome everyone into the space and for making the Vineyard Bride + Warehouse 84 collaboration space a bustling place to sip a cocktail from as guests sat and enjoyed the elegant lounge setup and florals designed by Warehouse 84, we can’t thank you enough. Leslie, you are one of the most benevolent, vibrant, kind souls, and we hope you always know the magnitude of our appreciation for you.
To Sweet Celebrations for creating too-pretty-to-eat cookies for all of our brides as a special touch to take home — the attention to detail and commitment to quality + flavour never goes unnoticed.
Our loyal friend’s Tide + Vine, who shucked oysters and educated guests all day and Ravine Vineyard for serving up the most delicious apple cider mimosas to our guests. To One Tree Studio Booth for embracing our step + repeat goals and providing guests with the sweetest instant images to bring home and stick on the fridge, and Chamberlain Entertainment for the sweet sounds all afternoon long. DanNel Transportation, your shuttle services helped keep our guests warm and cozy, and we thank you for that extra level of comfort, and a thank you to Today’s Bride for sending every bride home with a glossy copy of the lastest edition. These sponsors gave our guests an experience of their products and services in a way that shows them how much love and care gets put into everything they do.
To the ladies of Simply Beautiful Decor, you are angels! Not once did you say no to our countless requests, asks, dreams and ideas, and your excitement to be a part of the show was palpable! The already beautiful space was effortlessly transformed by the draping, chairs, linens + signature touch that you put on everything you do, and we hope that one day we can return the kindness you’ve shown us.
Our volunteers: Lisa, Stephanie, Jordan, Emma, Madison, Emilie, Tara, Adrienne, Sarah, Susy + Krista, thank you, thank you, a thousand times, thank you. You ladies gave your Saturday + Sunday to us so we could put on the best show possible, and we hope you enjoyed being a part of it. Lots of love to you all.
Until next year, Happy Planning!
