2020 has been a weird year for weddings, and sometimes it seems like it’s not even worth talking about anymore. That’s exactly why I’m starting this new blog series, because I want to celebrate our “Covid weddings” and, at the same time, inspire you with ideas on how you can make sure that Covid-19 doesn’t define your wedding!

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing images and stories from the weddings of couples who chose to take 2020 and Covid-19 head-on, changing and changing and changing their wedding plans to ultimately allow them to celebrate when and how they best saw fit.

Intimate Country Wedding during Covid

Please tell me that you all love this colour palette as much as I do! It’s juicy, interesting, deep, with both warm and cool tones. The peachy tones with a bit of blue were the original focal point, and we added in the darker blue/purple a little later on as the bridesmaids’ dresses were selected. I love that the palette is vibrant and full of life, without looking immature or too “Crayola,” if you know what I mean.

Colourful Fiesta-Inspired Wedding at Fort Gibraltar

When she first inquired with me, Natalia told me that she wanted to host a colourful, Mexican fiesta-inspired wedding. Obviously I was fully on board. When we sat down in person, she explained that she’s actually of El Salvadorian heritage, but her Pinterest searches for El Salvador weddings didn’t pull up many results 😂 We rolled with the Mexican theme though, and it was so cool to see how her El Salvadorian inspiration made its way through.

If you’re a lover of colour, this one is for you!

Intimate Wedding with Over the Top Florals

Karleigh and Matt’s intimate wedding with over the top florals was my first post-Covid wedding. Their Mother’s Day weekend wedding was originally going to be the largest wedding of my season (and career), and we had some truly remarkable things planned for them. But with a very large guest list, including a lot of family who wanted to travel in from Italy for the wedding, they knew they needed to postpone the big celebration to 2021. The couple still wanted to be wed in May 2020, so we went ahead — in a big way, with some serious flowers, on the front steps of his family’s home.

Romantic Rainy Wedding in Sandilands Forest

An amazing day. A stunning property. An emotional couple with the most supportive and connected friends surrounding them with love. I cannot tell you enough how truly wonderful it was to be a part of Georgia and Daniel’s romantic, rainy wedding in the Sandilands Forest.

The entire celebration was taking place at Georgia’s grandpa’s property deep in the woods — which meant no running water, no electricity, no cell service. It rained throughout their ceremony, which added extra stress. But you know what? No one batted their eye about it. Umbrellas went up and everyone carried on, which is what made this wedding SO magical.
