ThistleBEA your wedding

ThistleBEA your wedding Vancouver's original DIY wedding planners. Specializing in coordination, set-up, and offering florals

A wedding is about love, so why not, for your wedding day, think about investing love before you think about investing money? Take some extra time and personalize your party to represent who the two of you are instead of covering your reception hall in a bunch of tulle that doesn’t resonate with either of you (and if that tulle does resonate with the two of you, awesome! It makes your decorating d

ecisions all the easier!)
​
That’s what we at ThistleBEA are all about, the love you invest. We know how much work you put into your DIY wedding day and we want to help! Just because you can do it all, doesn’t mean you should have to on your wedding day. We are there for you, assembling your centre pieces, working alongside your photographer, your caterer, your venue, and acting as your insider to the wedding world – you’ve never planned a wedding before, how can the world expect you to know everything you need to know to throw this awesome party for your closest family and friends?

We can’t wait to hear from you and learn about your DIY wedding dreams!

Valentine's Day wasn't always about romance! In ancient Rome, the festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February, involved wild festivities and even a matchmaking lottery where young men drew the names of women from a jar, pairing them together for the duration of the festival—or longer! Talk about an ancient version of Tinder! 💌❤️

At ThistleBEA, we understand that wedding planning can be a rollercoaster of emotions—exciting, stressful, joyful, and overwhelming all at once. That’s why we’ve made it a core part of what we do to not just plan weddings, but to support our couples’ mental well-being throughout the process.

If you’re ever feeling the weight of it all, we want you to know that you don’t have to carry it alone. We’re here to listen, to help you navigate the hard moments, and to remind you that this journey is about you.

Mental health matters—not just today, but every day. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out. Talk to someone. You are not alone.

No, it's not the dance you make on pay day 😏 😉

During this event, guests pay to dance with the bride and groom, often pinning money onto their clothing. This fun and interactive tradition not only adds excitement to the wedding reception but also serves as a way for guests to help the newlyweds start their journey together with a little extra financial support. It's a unique blend of celebration and practicality that reflects the joyful and communal spirit of Canadian weddings! (Source: The Knot, "Canadian Wedding Traditions").

... no, it's not to see which table is lining up at the buffet next.

One charming wedding tradition is the "Looney Toss." At the wedding reception, the bride and groom toss a designated "looney" (a Canadian one-dollar coin) into the air, and guests scramble to catch it. The person who catches the looney is said to experience good luck and prosperity in their future. This playful activity often results in laughter and camaraderie, adding a uniquely Canadian touch to the celebration (source: The Spruce - Canadian Wedding Traditions).
