June 29–July 4: Truvelle sample sale

If a walk down the aisle is in your near future, take note: iconoclastic bridal line Truvelle is holding a sample sale at its flagship store (235 Cambie Street) from now until Monday (July 4). The Vancouver-born brand is known for its handcrafted gowns that defy typical wedding-day conventions, and for one weekend only, select gowns from its 2014, 2015, and 2016 collections will be up to 50 percent off. Expect modern dresses decorated with rose-gold sequins, hand-beaded lace, and fantastic ombre dip-dyes that, somehow, still manage to remain timeless. Forget off-the-rack and sample sizes only—the event’s Facebook page notes that many sizes will be available, so get your bridal party on board and make a day of it.
