Offbeat up-dos

May 17th, 2007 · Posted by Ariel · Events · 3 comments

This weekend I’m co-hosting an awesome event at Seattle’s VAIN, the salon that gave me my pink braids. If you’re in Seattle you must come. Seriously: there will be cupcakes and non-stupid hair styling. How could you not come? Here’s all the info:

VAIN’s Offbeat Bridal Wedding Shower
May 19th 2007, 2-6pm FREE
VAIN: 2018 1st Avenue, Seattle WA

Bridezilla's Fabulous Pink HairAs engaged couples across Seattle know, wedding season is almost upon us — and for the Northwest’s growing numbers of non-traditional brides, the looming season means something slightly different. With these nontraditional brides in mind, Seattle’s VAIN Salon has joined forces with local writer Ariel Meadow Stallings, author of OFFBEAT BRIDE: TAFFETA-FREE ALTERNATIVES FOR INDEPENDENT BRIDES, to host a free afternoon of nontraditional primping, wedding planning advice, sweets and prizes for local brides. The free event will take place between 2 and 6pm on Saturday, May 19th at VAIN’s Belltown salon at 2018 1st Avenue in Seattle.


UPDATE: Check out the Offbeat up-do gallery from the event!
