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.

Behind the Scenes of a Real Winnipeg Wedding

If you’re like most engaged couples, you haven’t thought about the behind the scenes of making your wedding happen. You’ve thought about your budget and your meal selections, you’ve thought about your music selections and choosing attire, and you’ve probably thought about the hair and makeup timeline on the morning of the wedding.

But most of you, unless you’re DIYing every single element of the wedding, haven’t thought about HOW the actual wedding comes together.

So today, I’m sharing a behind the scenes look at how a real Winnipeg wedding comes together (from a floral designer’s perspective!).

Modern Meets Whimsical Wedding at the WAG

Jess and Nick’s wedding took place on the literal hottest day of 2023. 🫠 But we loved it anyway!

The overall design vision called for a modern, intimate feeling wedding (yet with a full guest list) that incorporated garden-inspired whimsy.

Sophistication Meets Modern Wedding at St Charles Country Club

Carlee and Matt’s June wedding at St Charles Country Club was the perfect mixture of sophisticated, timeless design and modern elements! And I do not often think that things are timeless, so that’s quite a lot coming from me lol!

When she first reached out to me, Carlee explained that she was inspired by a Nancy Meyers aesthetic (Parent Trap wedding, anyone?). With Emily from Feast & Festivities, they merged this into a literary and poetic inspired design featuring a mostly white palette with accents of sage and light blue that’s just too good to miss.

Modern, Organic Wedding at St Norbert Arts Centre

Every wedding that I’m hired for full event design for is a special project for me. Chantal and Avo were planning from out of town (she’s originally from Manitoba) and we had a few bumps in the road thanks to Covid causing us to postpone a year AND their venue closing a few short months before their wedding.

The creative brief called for a calm, intimate atmosphere (Avo wanted it to feel like a family dinner) with a modern, organic vibe. Whites with cool mixed blues and greys, warmed up with a few wood accents felt so good.
