Cecil Green – U.B.C. (Feb 14, 2014)
We visit many beautiful wedding venues all over the Lower Mainland on a very regular basis but some always stand out even after having dressed them for the first time or for the 100th time. One such Vancouver wedding venue is Cecil Green at U.B.C.
This wonderfully preserved mansion sits just off the main campus and boasts a spectacular view of its immaculately landscaped ocean front lawn with awesome views of the water.

At some point during the wedding planning, all couples end up with information overload. From the flowers to the music, everyone will offer their opinion on what they feel is right or wrong.
Well, chair covers are no different. White vs ivory covers, fitted covers vs loose, or organza vs taffeta sashes….how do you make the right decision?
I have been in the wedding industry and more specifically in the chair cover business since 1994. I have seen trends come and go. For example, in the mid nineties, we used spandex covers exclusively. And, for an accent, we used spandex bands with metallic gold or silver bows attached to them. Later, the trend changed to tulle bows on the bands, then the tulle bows were used as sashes. And finally, the trend dictated that we all use organza sashes and later taffeta sashes. Currently, organza and mainly taffeta are the favourites and more recently, we are seeing an increased interest in spandex bands again.
But, how do you choose? What is the sash fabric of choice in 2014 weddings?
