Prepping Up for A Bridal Fair

The wedding season is here and we are more than delighted to celebrate with and serve our new brides to be and engaged couples. Of course this also means the coming of a myriad of wedding shows and bridal fairs and expos happening around the city. As much as we want to join every bridal show there is, we only intend to choose the ones that we can identify with.

Last February, we showcased our custom wedding gifts for the first time at the Swank Wedding Show. This month we will be at the Croatian Cultural Centre along with other wedding vendors for the Bridal Swap event.

“The Original Bridal Swap is a unique concept bringing together Past Brides, Décorators, Craft Artisans and other Sellers who have wedding related goods, with Brides to Be in a fun environment who are on the hunt for their perfect wedding treasures and dresses.”

As a (recent) past bride myself, I think the event concept is perfect! It creates a community of people who willingly share unique items and ideas to help the next bride celebrate her most important day.

Here is a sneak peak of some of the items Jules & Joy will bring in to this fair.bridal fair

These Kraft boxes with a white rose and tulle on the lid are perfect to house mini favors and treats.

First dibs into a limited number of gift boxes, pretty packaging, ribbons, and sweet little things (all budget-friendly) will be available for the early birds. Get your Bridal Swap Van tickets here.

A Gifting Station will also be set up so people can pick and choose items and customize their own gifts.

Jules & Joy at the Swank Wedding Show


Last Saturday, we joined our first-ever bridal show and we had so much fun! The all-white façade and columns of the Vancouver Art Gallery on Hornby Street made the event glamorous and intimate.

Kudos to Kim of Soirée Lounge for such a wonderful and well-organized event, which provided a venue for unique wedding vendors and respected industry professionals to gather and serve our city’s newly-engaged couples.

As a first-timer, I didn’t know what to expect but I was very excited to personally introduce our small business’ service offerings to new brides. Our booth was located at the rotunda level of the gallery where some guests gathered to watch a fashion show. I kept the design of our cocktail table simple and displayed just a few samples of our custom gifts.

I met a lot of friendly and super pleasant brides and couples from all over who are very open to suggestions and new ideas. Their energy and the excitement they shared gave me more confirmation that serving them is what I love doing. =)
