'Tis the season for glad tidings and joy! We teamed up with Save the Date Beauty, Wonderlust Photography, & Kathryn Bass Bridal for a holiday styled shoot and it was the perfect photo shoot to get us into the holiday spirit!
Oh, and to top it all off; most of the jewelry & accessories in the shoot are brand new! They will be coming to the website this January, but if you simply can't wait to reserve your favourites, feel free to email us at info{at}theborrowedcollection.com or use our live chat to inquire! And remember, if you live in the Lower Mainland, you are welcome to
request a consultation to view the collection in person!
All styling by Save the Date Beauty. Photography by Wonderlust Photography.
Patricie is wearing our Crystal Cluster Stud Earrings by Ben-Amun (rental $50).
Winter weddings offer brides a wonderful opportunity to infuse the whimsy of the holidays (or the glamour of New Year's!), into their bridal look. We LOVE the red lip that Kristy & Shaina of Save the Date Beauty chose for this look.
Patricie is wearing our
Elisa Comb by Enchanted Atelier (rental $80) in her side-swept curls, as well as our
Floral Crystal & Pearl Bracelet by Ben-Amun (rental $66). This bracelet is the pearl version of our best-selling
Floral Crystal Bracelet and is sure to be a new favourite with our brides!
Patricie is wearing the Vivenne ball gown by Kathryn Bass Bridal. Her Deco Shoulder Necklace (rental $140) is a one of a kind piece, created just for us from a deconstructed bridal belt and Swarovski crystal chain.
This photo makes our hearts skip a beat.
Happy Holidays to you and yours and may your days be merry and bright!

This past weekend saw the launch of our veil collection at our Vancouver Spring 2015 Trunk Show, which was held at the Soirée Lounge's beautiful new Yaletown location. We thought that we would share some of the highlights with you, so that you will have an idea of what to expect when a trunk show comes to your city!
Wondering what a trunk show is? It's primarily a chance to view an entire collection all at once, as well as an opportunity to receive one-on-one style advice from our bridal stylists! We aim to make our trunk shows memorable events to share with family and friends too, by offering treats, mimosas, and good company.
Our thanks to Jelger + Tanja, who captured these moments for us.
With over 30 veils in the collection, most available in a choice of ivory, light ivory, and diamond white, we offer something for everyone! Trunk show brides especially loved our Lily Veil, a chapel length hand-cut edge veil, which rents for $96 and our Delicate Chantilly Veil, a fingertip length veil with Chantilly lace along the bottom, which rents for $95.
It was a treat to have Jenny of Mink Makeup and Hair with us at the trunk show! She spoke with each bride about the looks that they were considering, offered styling advice, then created gorgeous hairstyles for the brides to try on headpieces and veils with. We love that our brides had such individual style: from low braided boho looks, to retro waves and loose curls.
The sweetest treat of all that day was this sweets table, custom designed for our brides, by Harjeet of Sweet Treats! We still aren't sure which were tastier, the French vanilla cake pops, or the macarons in a variety of amazing flavors.
Thank you to all of the wonderful brides that attended our trunk show! We will be announcing our next trunk show location soon so be sure to join our mailing list so that you are amongst the first to hear where our next city will be!
We've put together some of our favourite Borrowed Collection looks under $100, $125, & $150. It's our little way of helping brides stay within their budget (or at least saving where you can so that you can splurge elsewhere!). We hope you enjoy!

Receiving photos from our amazing photographers, Anna & Kasia of Gucio Photography, can only be compared to the really amazing things in life: breakfast in bed, opening a shoe box holding a pair of sparkly Louboutins, or spending a lazy Saturday with your one and only! Kasia and Anna have an incredible knack for capturing little details that others might miss and with that in mind, we thought we would share a few new photos that celebrate the smaller, (sparkly) details!
