Recommended Posts

I have noticed there is a large population of Canadian brides here, and sections like the Cuba forum are really picking up in popularity.

 

Cuba - Best Destination Wedding Forum

 

I am curious to know what are your Canadian sources of information, products, travel etc. for planning your DW. I know that many of the vendors/sources/products discussed here are sourced from the US.

 

If you sourced elements of your wedding in Canada, what Canadian Vendors did you usehuh.gif
