Intimate Indian Wedding at Home

Good things can happen when you plan your wedding in 5 days. WHAT? Yes. Because of constantly shifting covid regulations, Nageen and Jawed had planned their wedding, then postponed, then weren’t sure, and then they pulled the trigger.

5 days is about how much time Amanda Douglas had to pull together the design of this wedding, and I was hired 3.5 days before the wedding. Nageen had sent over 2 inspiration photos and knew that I’d have no control over what flowers I could get at that short of notice, but luckily, it all came together really beautifully!

Minimal Mid-Century Modern Inspired Tent Wedding

Technically I was supposed to take this weekend off…but when I got the email from Emily of Feast & Festivities asking if I’d be available, and I caught a glimpse of the fun design board, a thrill sparked my fingertips into typing that yes, I was available!

Jess and Donny’s wedding was one of my 2019 highlights. Creative uses of colour, cheerful design elements, and that chic mid-century modern inspiration brought this clear-top tent wedding to life!

My Best Friend's Wedding: A Colourful Farm Wedding During Covid

Roberta and Fernando were originally going to have about 150 people at the Winnipeg Art Gallery with a ceremony at her parents’ farm. Since Fer is from Mexico, and his family lives there, obviously that meant major changes to the wedding plans. They still wanted to get married, but they pivoted: everything would now be on the farm just outside of Stonewall, and since his family couldn’t be there, the guest list would be massively reduced to the bare minimum: the bride’s parents and siblings, my sister and myself, and the groom’s best man and his wife.

It may have been small, but dang, it was mighty.

Clear Top Tent Wedding at Home with Luscious Florals

Jen grew up with grandparents who worked in the flower growing and gardening industries in England, so she wanted to prioritize the flowers — and I was not going to say no to that! Knowing how much of an impact flowers make on the overall design, this couldn't have been a better decision -- especially for a couple who aren't afraid of colour!

After changes in date, venue, and even province, we re-envisioned the wedding design 3 months before the new date. What was originally to be a July wedding, and then a destination wedding in BC, was re-planned during Covid for August, back in Winnipeg. I was SO excited to get their email saying it was back on, in Winnipeg, and that I’d get to be a part of their day!

Garden-Inspired Winter Wedding at SMITH

I’ve been waiting a long time to share Morgan and Josiah’s garden-inspired winter wedding at SMITH! They were married December 28, 2019 in a big, joyous celebration and is the perfect example of why winter weddings are awesome.

Rich, luxurious while still approachable, warm, and overloaded with delicious food, there’s probably nothing that I would change about their wedding. The temperature wasn’t even that cold! Read on for more inspiration on throwing a killer winter wedding here in Winnipeg.
