Who it suits: The modern bride who loves to brunch which all her girls following a good night out.

The Event Style: Modern, casual and fun.

Set a long table or lounge area with punchy florals, bold stripes and geometric patterns in bright colours on place cards, napkins, pillows and serving trays. Wear your favourite maxi dress and wedges or gladiators and load on the arm candy.

The Venue: If you have the room, hosting brunch at your home or in your sunny backyard is a great idea. Alternatively, a few of our favourite spots in Vancouver include the private dining room at the Loden Hotel or rooftop at Reflections Lounge at the Hotel Georgia.

The Menu: Her favourites. Ideas include: eggs and pancetta, french toast, fresh fruit and croissants (Thomas Haas is a local favourite).

What we’re sipping: Casears & classic mimosas.

Her gift: Pick straight from her registry and stock her kitchen or deviate all together pool in to get her the Louboutins she’s been swooning over for her wedding day.

The take away: Casear rimmer and her signature recipe that won his heart – written on geometric stationary of course!

Planning Tip: While we love paper invitations by snail mail or hand delivery (they win every time), if you are short on time or addresses, our favourite online invitation option is paperless post.
