B.C. Home + Garden Show Opening House Party

Vancouver’s design elite come out for the BC Home + Garden Show opening night house party

To kick off this year’s BC Home + Garden show, a lucky group ate (nibbles from Savoury Chef), drank (brew from Parallel 49) and grooved to the live beats of local band DNA6. Click through the slideshow for the familiar faces who came out to celebrate the kick-off of this annual design event.
