Toronto has one, Vancouver has one and now our stylish city will have one!
ENGAGE http://www.marrymeproductions.ca/engage.html presented by Marry Me Productions, is a Boutique Bridal Event that will set Ottawa abuzz the evening of Wednesday February 2, 2011 from 4pm-9pm. Tickets will be $20 at the door will include a glass of champagne, mouth watering hors d'oeuvres and a chic bridal swag bag that screams "I'm getting married and armed to do it properly!".
The idea of a ‘Boutique’ Bridal show is to limit the number of exhibitors to those who are the most qualified, creative and are at the top of their game in this industry.
This allows brides to "engage" with each vendor one on one and not get overwhelmed by the wedding show masses, passing out marketing cards amongst of sea of hundreds of brides-to-be shuffling along from booth to booth. ENGAGE will offer brides the time to speak with the most stylish and reputable wedding vendors our city has to offer in a relaxed atmosphere where the focus of conversation is you; the bride and what we can do to take your wedding to the next level.
And speaking of the ‘environment’... we wanted the venue to be central, comfortable and evoke a lounge type-feel that encourages a connection between vendors and brides.
That said, we are proud to announce that The White Dress will be a vendor at ENGAGE at the stylish LAGO Bar and Grill in the Dow’s Lake Pavilion on Wednesday February 2, 2011 from 4-9pm.

With all the buzz surrounding Kate and Williams upcoming royal nuptials the burning question in our mind is WHAT will she wear?? An English designer? A slinky silhouette? A grand ballgown? A fabulous bridal fascinator ? We can't even contain our excitement!
Recently People.com released sketches that have been drawn for Kate by various designers, and of course we would like to place a vote for one of our own...the brilliant Monique Lhuillier! We think Kate would look every bit the royal rose that she is in this design!
Also, we chose one of our favorite fascinators from Sara Gabriel, as we just can't see Kate going without her signature headpiece that she does so well!
2010 was a year full of celebrity wedded bliss, and many of Hollywood's brightest stars chose Vera Wang's beautiful designs for their wedding day. We strongly approve of these decisions and even carry two of the styles we saw in all of the magazines this year! Take a peek below to see our picks for 2010's top celebrity Vera brides...
Ivanka Trump at her wedding to Jared Kushner Oct 25th last year in a fench chantilly lace and tulle A-line gown with matching bolero jacket...stunning and regal!
Chelsea Clinton at her private yet lavish affair alongside husband Marc Mezvinsky on July 31, 2010 donning a strapless tightly ruched bodice ballgown which bloomed into a voluminous, laser-cut organza-and-tulle skirt. This gown wouldn't have made such a statement without the wide gem encrusted statement belt... a true vision!
Khloe Kardashian at her nuptials on Sept. 27 to Lamar Odom wearing a strapless mermaid gown with a pleated bodice, layered flanges and a lavender jeweled sash... definitely haute couture sexy!
P.S. this stunning gown is available at The White Dress!
Songstress Alicia Keys (and her bun in it's couture draped oven!) marries Swizz Beatz in France wearing a goddess draped sheath.
LaLa Vasquez marries NBA star Carmelo Anthony on July 10th in New York draped in a magical Vera Wang ballgown and cathedral length edgeless veil.. fairytale inspired!
Hilary Duff in a gown that has since been coined 'The Hilary'by Vera herself, seen here on Aug.14th at her wedding to Mike Comrie. Her tissue organza and french tulle mermaid gown is an absolute show stopper, and the next dress to come in to the boutique! That's right, the Hilary will be featured at The White Dress in 2011!
We can't wait to see which fabulous star bride's will choose Vera next year.. stay tuned! xx
