Year in Review 2024

Whew. 2024 was amazing!

I’m pretty confident this is the longest wedding season I’ve had yet — late May through the end of November with very little slow time in the mix. It was also quite possibly the most beautiful season of all (though I probably say that every year!), but I can barely remember the earliest days of the season! Those May and June weddings seem like a lifetime ago.

I’m still waiting on a lot of galleries (if you’re a client and you’ve got your photos back, please share them with me!) but I hope to be sharing a lot of those images this winter to give newly engaged people a lot of ideas and inspiration.

Modern Garden Wedding at The White Poplar

I absolutely LOVE working at The White Poplar and I will shout it from the rooftops! So when Tori and Ian inquired about their wedding (more than a year and a half in advance!) I was already pumped. Then they brought on the best vendor team, and a gorgeous design plan, and I was in wedding design heaven.

Tori has a really classic style, and we wanted to meet it with modern sensibility — so a crisp palette of black and white was chosen, with warm taupes and mixed greens added.

Modern Architectural Inspired Wedding at the Leaf

It’s finally time to share SO MUCH DETAIL from this architecturally-inspired editorial I designed at The Leaf!

My vision was something chic, sculptural, and heavily influenced by the use of a single type of flower (in this case, white lilies). The slatted wood wall in the mezzanine area of The Leaf was absolute perfect backdrop for the strong lines I wanted to create.

Moody Fashion-Forward Wedding at the Hotel Fort Garry

Being part of Sarah and Scott’s moody, fashion-forward wedding at the Fort Garry Hotel last fall was such a delight.

The flowers were not a huge priority for her — and while most of my couples do put a large emphasis on their florals, I know that many couples out there are in the same place as Sarah! And that’s totally, totally fine.

So instead of doing florals all over the place, we kept a close eye on their budget and chose multi-purpose pieces that would highlight a few key areas, and let Sarah’s fashion be the central design moment.

Wedding Inspiration Series: Colour Palette Ideas

We’re back with our latest blog mini-series, with the aim of giving you all the inspiration you need to get into wedding planning. I know that a lot of the different areas of wedding planning can be…let’s say, un-fun…but I hope that all of the pretty can feel like a breath of fresh air for you and reinvigorate your ideas with new inspo!

Today we’re highlighting colour palette inspiration trending for 2025. If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you’ll know that I’m OBSESSED WITH COLOUR. And when I say that, don’t get nervous: when I say COLOUR, I don’t mean that it has to be neon. Or rainbow. Or Crayloa bright (unless that’s what you want).

There’s such a wide range of what we can do with colour. It really sets the stage for your overall ambiance and vibe, and that’s why colour palette is ALWAYS what I start with when I design a wedding. Layering in different shades and tones, adding depth in just the right places, or a pop of something really vibrant to bring that breath of life…nothing but colour can do that.
