From the Editors Weddings are always about certain constants - two people in love, gorgeous flowers, a beautiful gown, family and friends all around - but how a couple chooses to wed is changing. Natural venues are fast becoming the norm as couples exchange vows in forests, on beaches and at the top of mountains. Traditional venues are bedecked with loads of greenery and florals. Lace boho gowns are gracing even the most sophisticated of nuptials and dapper guys are donning blue and grey suits with zest. Vancouver is the epitomy of nature colliding with sophistication. Weddings in the mainland area embrace this fusion of forest, water and vibrant city. We are excited to showcase the naturally beautiful weddings of the West Coast! Please visit us at our website and on social media where we share #westcoastweddingstory #westcoastweddingpro #westcoastweddingeditorials and #westcoastweddingshows! The Editors
