Friday's Fabulous Find shows off Hotel Le Soleil

With having so many great hotels to select from in Vancouver, it can be a bit overwhelming as to which one to choose for your out of town guests who are attending your wedding.  If you are looking for a boutique style Hotel, with luxurious and amazing service, I highly recommend you take a look at

Hotel Le Soleil

Located at 567 Hornby Street, for the perfect location, with everything nearby and all the shopping available at your finger tips, you cannot go wrong.  As you walk into the front doors of the Hotel, the comfortable lobby welcomes you with beautiful scents that make you feel warm and cozy.  

As you enter, you will recognize the old world feel as though you have stepped into a lovely hotel in Europe.  Hotel Le Soleil is described as a "unique mixture of stylish sophistication and old world elegance".

The luxury hotel suites reflect Biedermeier style furniture in rich gold and crimson colors, with the full en suite boasting of Italian marble. 

 

Le Soleil's penthouse has a large balcony, perfect to host a cocktail rehearsal dinner.  All you need to do is  have your Planner bring in a DJ and Le Soleil will provide you with the bar and a delicious menu for you to select from, which comes prepared from the delicious kitchen of Copper Chimney, their in house restaurant. 

But if you have all your wedding accomodations for out of town friends and family booked, then may I suggest Hotel Le Soleil for either the Groom or the Bride and their wedding party the night before the wedding...or the Bride can get ready with her party at the Hotel.  With the location being so central, it's perfect.

At the moment, Hotel Le Soleil has amazing deals on for $99 a night!  For select dates and other specials, please click here.

Monday's Montage: Bridal Bouquet Trends

A bride’s bouquet speaks to her personal style and the tone of her big day. It might be elegant or classic, traditional or vintage, bright and colorful like the bride’s personality or simple and elegant. These are some of the current, popular wedding bouquet trends.

 

Brooch bouquets-One of the reasons brooch bouquets have become so popular, brides like the idea of having it as a keepsake, something they can pass down to their daughter. Some brides choose to use family heirlooms in their creations while others buy a designed brooch bouquet. However, these rang from hundreds of dollars to thousands! It’s easy and affordable to create a do-it-yourself bouquet while recycling brooches.

 

 

Texture- Everything goes when it comes to mixing different textures in the bouquet, including felt and feathers. Other items used are seashells for beach weddings, pine cones or twigs for rustic weddings and different types of ribbon to add color.

 

 

Monochromatic- Simple, classic and often more affordable since the florist needs less varieties of flowers. Whatever your style, the possibilities are endless for your Bridal Bouquet, although keep in mind, they are heavier than you think!

Monday's Montage: Wedding Hairstyles

A big decision to complete your wedding day look! Whether you leave your hair down, pull it half-up, braided, add flowers or go with an updo, your hair style should reflect your personality. Be sure to try a few different options during your trial with your stylist, or why not enjoy 2 looks on your wedding day? Long flowy and romantic during your ceremony, then have your stylist on hand to pin it up with tons of volume for the reception. Best of both worlds and won't need to worry about your curls falling as you tear up that dance floor late into the night with your handsome new hubby.

 

I hope these help you find your inspiration for an unforgettable, romantic and definitely angelic wedding hairstyle. And don't worry, hairspray is ALWAYS available in DreamGroup's toolbox to keep your tresses perfect throughout the night.

Monday's Montage: Braided Hairstyles

Braids are back and hitting the bridal scene in a big way! Whether it is for the bride or bridesmaids, braids are the trendy new way to style hair for the big day.  Until recently, wearing a braided hairstyle was just for the bohemian bride. We have fashion designers to thank for the rise of wedding braids. (And Lauren Conrad, love her) Whether one in the front, swept across, or an entire halo, I believe braids always add a romantic look to any wedding hair style.

 

Find any favourites? It's a great idea to bring photos for inspiration when you are ready for a trial with your Hair Stylist. Jayna Bussiere would take amazing care of you, offering mobile hair and makeup service wherever beautification is needed.
