A Soolip Wedding: A Heavenly Collection of Inspiration and Beauty, Los Angeles March 6 and San Francisco March 20

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 40 vendors that embody the heart and soul sensibility that make a wedding personal, unique and unforgettable will gather to participate in A Soolip Wedding on Sunday, March 6, at Bel Air Bay Club in Los Angeles and for the first time in San Francisco, on March 20, at Bently Reserve.

All eyes will be on the celestial bridal gowns of Claire Pettibone with the timeless jewels of David Yurman, in Los Angeles, in an informal fashion show. The exquisite gowns of Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Marchesa, and more, from Marina Morrison Bridal Salon, take center stage with treasures from Gump's in a formal runway fashion show in San Francisco.

Featured at both events are the sublime letterpress invitations of Soolip Paperie & Press, the in-vogue floral creations of Krista Jon Floral, kitchen essentials of Williams-Sonoma and more. Mouthwatering food tastings, divine wedding cake & champagne, panel discussions with experts, a luxury raffle and gift bag are among the events' amenities.

"By evoking all of the senses in one afternoon, couples leave truly inspired with their wedding planning galvanized," says Wanda Wen, creative visionary of A Soolip Wedding and Founder of Soolip.

This year's "Conscious Celebrating" initiative is the Couple's Garden, to inspire the newly-engaged to plant an edible or floral biodynamic garden together, thereby sowing the seeds of their marriage, and sharing the bounty with their guests at the wedding.

A noted tastemaker and creative visionary, Ms. Wen's hardcover tome The Art of Gift Wrapping (Potter Craft/Random House), a visually tantalizing, inspiring and resourceful how-to on the art of gift wrapping, debuted in 2010.
