If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to be a VIP at New York’s Bridal Fashion Week, an evening at UNVEILED might just be what you’re searching for. UNVEILED, a bridal fashion show and wedding planning reception, sponsored by the Fairmont Palliser on January 11 with exclusive runway gowns and a sophisticated champagne reception.
Gather among local wedding experts and mingle, champagne glass in hand, before soaking in the luxury fashion show that transcends the traditional bridal runway with live music, fashion-forward gowns and modern menswear.
An inside look at some of the industry’s best
Fashion sponsor Blush & Raven will unveil gowns exclusive to its boutique, many of which have never been seen on a Canadian runway. “We’re thrilled to be back on a New York-style runway where we can bring everyone up close to bridal gowns from our favourite designers, like Ines Di Santo and Newhite, just to name a few,” says Blush & Raven owner Liane Knox. “We’ll be showing modern silhouettes and exquisite fabrics, but most importantly, at UNVEILED, we give brides an inside look into future trends.”
Blush & Raven will be joined by Atelier Suiting, a three-time winner of Avenue’s Best Wedding Services award. Atelier owner and menswear designer Lauren Larsen focuses on style and authenticity.
“I’ve invited a few of my real grooms to show off their wedding looks,” says Larsen. “They are all so supportive, and they can’t wait to re-live the feeling they had on their wedding day — only this time on a fashion show aisle.”
A highly anticipated event
Calgarians are no stranger to UNVEILED, and tickets are selling fast as the event promises new looks and gowns in addition to a few surprises along the way.
“Last year’s show was a sold-out event, and the feeling in the ballroom was electric!” says show producer and Bridal Expo founder Lenora Kingcott. “This year, we’re taking it to the next level with some surprises on the runway. For newly engaged couples, there is nothing better than sipping champagne and mingling with the wedding pros that they’ve been following on Instagram.”
Avenue’s 2025 Best Wedding Services will be hot off the press, and UNVEILED guests will receive their free copy of the magazine at check-in. “We can’t wait to see many of our UNVEILED wedding experts make the list,” says Kingcott.
Don’t delay buying your tickets! UNVEILED is a boutique event with some ticket types already sold out. Tickets range from $29 to $79.
“It’s not surprising that they sell out so quickly,” says Kingcott. “UNVEILED tickets are the perfect gift for anyone that has said YES over the holiday season.”
