A spectacular evening for me; I went to Vancouver's first ever Diner en Blanc.
I was invited by my favourite client to help staff media & was truly delighted by the invitation!
To explain: Diner en Blanc originated from France and it's essentially an all white pop-up dinner party with style. Obviously the dress code is all white and guests need to bring their own table, chairs and dinner ware too as it's an entirely sustainable affair. Check out my white attire:
What's also fun is that no one knows the location. Leaders meet groups of guests at different
areas in the city and walk them to the secret location. Think of 'Step Up to the Streets' with a twist. The venue was Jack Poole Plaza, an iconic place in the city. As the light dimmed, this was the party scene:
There was lots of rules regarding etiquette too. For example, you cannot stand up during dinner; the dinner ceremony kicks off with everyone waving serviettes; the dinner ends with guests lighting sparklers. Fabulous idea. Worth a repeat visit in 2013.
