Soon-to-be-brides in Langley may be more likely to say yes to the dress this weekend because Monte Durham of TLC’s reality TV show Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta will be helping brides find the perfect wedding style at Cascades Casino and Resort.
Downtown Langley boutique Everything But the Groom is welcoming Durham to the stage for the sixth time this Friday.
In previous years Durham has been part of the Abbotsford It’s My Wedding Show, but for the first time this weekend, Durham will be giving a presentation at Langley’s Cascades Casino and Resort.
“He’s super knowledgeable about all things bridal, fun to work with, and a down-to-earth kind of guy,” said Heidi Tobler, owner of Everything But The Groom.
On Jan. 18 Durham will give a presentation of bridal fashion trends and helpful tips, followed by a fashion show presented by Everything But the Groom and Forever Yours Lingerie.
A VIP experience is also offered for those who want to meet Monte in person, enjoy a glass of champagne, and receive a wedding ‘swag bag.’
Following the presentation is a vendor trade show.
Durham will stay in Langley for the rest of the weekend to give bridal consultations at Everything But The Groom on Jan. 19 and 20.
Everything But The Groom has been in business for nearly 13 years, and Tobler said this year’s wedding styles are going back to “simple” looks.
“I would say it’s returned to more simplistic things, after the royal wedding, like Megan Markle. It’s plain styles, lace, classic styles, and not too much strapless.”
Tobler said the show is helpful for bride-to-be’s because it’s an opportunity to see dresses on real body types.
“It gives them the ability to talk to all the top vendors in the area, decide what they would like, see bridal trends, see dresses on bodies rather than seeing them on a TV screen, how they move, and what works for body shapes.”
Tobler added the show represents “all body shapes” on a “variety of models.”
Vendors that will be at the show include: Everything But The Groom Bridal Boutique, Boss Limousines, Blank Canvas Catering, Champagne Dreams Decor, Lifestyle Photography, In The Mix Productions, That Awesome DJ Guy, Deborah Lee Designs, Glass Slipper Event Planning, Cascades Casino Resort, Forever Yours Lingerie, Couture by Jo. Catering Visions, Spa Tru, Langis Photography, Little Rose Party Company, Kis Consulting, One Stop Beauty Shop, Phoenix Rising Metaphysical Gallery, and Arthur Murray Dance studio.
