<p>Guess what?!?  I LOVE WEDDINGS!  Ok, you may already know that&#8230;but did you know that I love weddings so much that I&#8217;ve gathered with some of my favourite ladies in the industry, to share our love of weddings with THE WORLD (starting with Vancouver)?</p>
<p>Today is the big day; the launch of a project that&#8217;s been in the works for a little over a year now, and one that I couldn&#8217;t be more proud or excited to be a part of!  Today, <a href="http://www.tutuandfru.com" target="_blank">Tutu &amp; Fru</a> goes LIVE!</p>
<p>What is Tutu &amp; Fru?  It&#8217;s something fun to say.  It&#8217;s a showcase of the amazing talent of the Vancouver Wedding industry.  It&#8217;s a place to go for inspiration and stylish eye candy.  Most importantly, it&#8217;s our labour of love.</p>
<p>Who is Tutu &amp; Fru?  Four femme fatales who might be a little obsessed with weddings! Seriously though, I couldn&#8217;t ask for a better team than Vasia, Minnie, and L&#8217;nielle.  They are talented, passionate, and beautiful inside &amp; out.<a href="http://www.lesoirees.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/2012-04-02_004.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-586" title="Vancouver Wedding Blog - Tutu &amp; Fru" src="http://www.lesoirees.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/2012-04-02_004.jpg" alt="" width="850" height="566" /></a></p>
<p>I also want to thank all of our friends in the industry who have been so supportive of us throughout this whole process, and to all the talented photographers who shared their beautiful images with us!  Keep &#8216;em coming! =)</p>
<p>Ready? <a href="http://www.tutuandfru.com" target="_blank">Check out Tutu &amp; Fru</a>!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Among the many exciting experiences I’ve been lucky to have as an intern for <a href="http://www.lesoirees.com" target="_blank">Lé Soirées</a>, one of the most recent ones was working with photographer Vasia of <em><a href="http://www.vasia-weddings.com/">Vasia Weddings</a></em> and model <em><a href="http://www.agenceemme.com/profile.women.comm.php?id=75">Julia Byrne</a></em> on a stylized bridal shoot in early June. The Secret Garden themed shoot included headpieces by Elizabeth for <em>Threadblossom</em>, flowers by Joh for <em><a href="http://celsiaflorist.com/" target="_blank">Celsia Florsists</a> </em>and gowns from <em><a href="http://www.bisoubridal.com/">Bisou Bridal</a>.</em></p>

<div id="attachment_266" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 749px"><a href="http://www.lesoirees.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screen-shot-2011-07-21-at-1.01.23-AM.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-266" src="http://www.lesoirees.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screen-shot-2011-07-21-at-1.01.23-AM.png" alt="" width="739" height="491" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Love these colours!</p></div>
<p>The shoot took place in the beautiful gardens of <em><a href="http://www.stjohnsvancouver.org/">St. John&#8217;s Church</a> </em>where we also set up gorgeous table décor as well as a sweets table, (which was filled with colorful cupcakes, marsh-mellows and lollipops, thus were quickly eaten as soon as they were photographed!).</p>
<div id="attachment_249" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 730px"><a href="http://www.lesoirees.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/285528_10150262973263394_7802428393_7441527_3135205_n1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-249 " src="http://www.lesoirees.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/285528_10150262973263394_7802428393_7441527_3135205_n1.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="479" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">We were all ready to take a bite of that huge cupcake!</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Along with jewellery from <em><a href="http://finefindsboutique.com/">Fine Finds</a>,</em> we had a few pieces of cute and creative hand made stationary courtesy of <a href="http://lesoirees.com/about-us-1.html" target="_blank">LéLé Chan</a> &#8211; why buy when you can make?! They were used as props for the model and laid prettily on the table décor styled by <em><a href="http://www.the-goods.ca/Welcome___The_Goods___Vancouver_Wedding_Decor.html">The Goods</a>.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lesoirees.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/252409_206668789378081_108667999178161_637533_98222_n.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-250 aligncenter" src="http://www.lesoirees.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/252409_206668789378081_108667999178161_637533_98222_n.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="479" /></a></p>
<p>Lastly, what’s a photo shoot without hair and make up?! Thanks to <em><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Allison-Giroday-Makeup/198094730206577">Allison Giroday</a></em> and <em>Jade Kugelman</em> for all of their stunning work!</p>
<p>I could not imagine having any more fun with such great company and talent. Can&#8217;t wait for the next one! [Hopefully there will be cupcakes ... <img src='http://www.lesoirees.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ]</p>
