Let me say, whenever I get an inquiry that says anything about the couple’s love of colour and their idea to design their wedding in an Athropolgie-inspired way, momma’s going to get excited. That was the case with Emily and Mark’s tent wedding at their home in Carman, MB!

We’re talking about some seriously delicious colour. Vibrant while still being feminine, we focused on pale pinks, lavender, orange, blue, coral, and butter yellow.

Bridal bouquet ingredients: peonies, ranunculus, anemones, clematis, delphinium, carnations, scabiosa.

I can’t say enough about how truly wonderful all of these women were. The bridesmaids were all getting ready in Emily and Mark’s house while I was flitting in and out, setting up different areas of the wedding, delivering bouquets, and arranging the flowers and fruit on the cake. From Emily’s mom to the bridesmaids, it was such a pleasure to see and hear how beautifully they interacted with each other and took care of Emily.

Emily had chosen a particular spot in the treeline with a branch that grew horizontally. She collected blue glass bottles to hang arrangements in, and when I suggested we add in strands of dried citrus slices and colourful carnations, she eagerly agreed. Yes!

A white tent, fully draped in dreamy white sheers, and lots of colour brought in through the flowers. Emily rented a few different collections of brass and milk glass stem vases and brass candleholders from Something Borrowed here in Winnipeg. It was definitely fun to add in oranges, light pinks, lavenders, blues, corals and plums to bring vibrancy to the tent. She also selected a few different tones of blue taper candles (from my favourite Canadian candle supplier, Yummi) and I really love the layered look these brought to the tablescapes - and you all know I love coloured candles!

I also love that this tent floor plan featured both round and banquet tables - sometimes thinking outside the box can make the flow of the room work much more comfortably at the same time as more efficiently using the space.

How fun is this image of Emily seeing the tent for the first time with so much excitement on her face! I never get to see those moments in person 💕

I love when couples choose a double-sided head table. It just seems like it would be so much more enjoyable to sit at, to actually be able to talk to people you love! We used some of the larger vases from the Something Borrowed collection with some petite floral arrangements, and they re-purposed all of the hanging citrus and floral strands from the ceremony to hang behind them. Doesn’t it look so cheerful thanks to all of that colour!

I also got to decorate the cake, which doesn’t happen too often! Emily’s mom baked the cake with SO much love and she was truly such a kind and excited momma. Of course I loved being able to include some of the orange slices that I dried!
