This past weekend, Sam and I had the opportunity to participate in a fundraiser charity event, Something White for Something Right, held at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier hotel in Ottawa, Ontario. Hosted and presented by Stacey Price and her team at Marry Me Productions, this fabulous sold-out event provided an evening of exquisite dining and live entertainment, which brought 160+ people wearing their wedding dresses or something white to support a worthy cause. Proceeds went to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation while raising awareness on discovering and fighting breast cancer.
Here are some of our favourite images from the unforgettable evening!
It was absolutely amazing to see all the ladies coming in their wedding dresses and to see the guys in their white suits! Thanks to all of you for making the event so fun for us to capture. Of course, one couldn't help checking out all the different styles of dresses all in one room worn by beautiful women - totally breathtaking! You all looked gorgeous!
Cocktail hour wouldn't be the same without the one and only, Mellow Dee, whose music set the perfect mood for the evening.
Bel Fiore and Flowers Talk collaborated to provide these bouquets as well as the stunning centrepieces for the tables above. These were on auction to raise money for the cause. Love the use of feathers - so chic!
Sweets by The Candy Store and The Flour Shoppe added the perfect amount of sugar and spice and all things nice!
The main entertainment for the night was put on by the incredible Sway Orchestra, who rocked the house throughout the dining and dancin'! Thanks guys, for your amazing talent!
The successful event was brought together by so many people. Here is Stacey Price and some of her team from Marry Me Productions. I love the sea of white dresses that represents all the ladies (and their men) standing together to support one another in finding a cure for breast cancer.
Thanks, Stacey, for your vision in pulling this event together and pouring your heart into this. Your talent is so obvious and energy contagious! It was so worth it to squeeze myself back into my dress (I'm sure some of you ladies can relate?! :) for the cause, and we are honoured to have been a part of it!
Much Luv,
