Crème de la Crème Themed Foxy Fridays – October 14, 21, 28, 2011

Vancouver’s best wedding showcase will be held at Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver on November 6, 2011. Think glorious gowns, decadent décor, fabulous flowers, a knock-out fashion show and delicious food and drink from the talented top chefs at YEW. Celebrity wedding designer to-the-stars Preston Bailey will be leaving his New York City perch to share the latest and greatest in wedding trends with attendees.

To celebrate a grand wedding showcase like no other, YEW restaurant + bar presents Crème de la Crème-themed Foxy Fridays on October 14, 21 and 28, 2011. Every Friday in October from 2:30 pm to close, guests of YEW bar wearing pink will be treated to complimentary Crème de la Crème YEW bites. Specialty pink cocktails will be on the menu and house-made cotton candy will be served up to pink-clad patrons between 6:00 and 8:00 pm.

Win the Ultimate Bridesmaid’s Tea Party or a Night on the Town with a Special "Halloween Bridesmaids" Edition of Foxy Friday

On Friday, October 28, 2011 all bridesmaids past and present are invited to enjoy a fabulous cocktail drink and tasty bite on the house at YEW restaurant + bar. The catch? Bridesmaids dresses must be worn to enjoy the complimentary cuisine, and the more outrageous the better.  Friday evening on Halloween weekend is the perfect time to show up “in costume” with some friends. And, there are two great incentives to join in the fun:

• The winner of "Most Outrageous Bridesmaid's Dress" will win dinner at YEW restaurant + bar + one night’s accommodation at Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver (valued at $400)
• Attendees at the Halloween Bridesmaids edition of Foxy Friday also have a chance to win the Ultimate Bridesmaids' Tea Party for 10 (valued at $400). All qualifying bridesmaids need to be present at the prize draw at Crème de la Crème on November 6 to be eligible to win.
