A Chic Spring Wedding at the Assiniboine Park Pavilion

I wasn’t planning on working on Mother’s Day weekend. I had my baby about 5 months earlier and was looking forward to a relaxing Mother’s Day with my boys. Then Andrea from Soiree texted me, asking if I knew of any floral designers who were still available for that weekend. I felt myself starting to cave a little…so I asked about the style and vision for the wedding…and then I saw the design board…and heard that it was at the Pavilion…and before I knew it, I said “You twisted my arm, count me in!” and there it was.

Julia and Rob’s chic spring wedding at the Assiniboine Park Pavilion was officially on my calendar!

Sophisticated Vineyard-Inspired Tent Wedding

Diane and Bryce reached out to me just 3.5 months before their wedding. Normally I would have my calendar confirmed well in advance of that, but I had just had another wedding for that weekend cancel so I was pretty thrilled to hear from them.

They live in BC but are both originally from the Winnipeg area, and hoped to have an intimate wedding with just 30 ish of their most loved people (and simultaneously avoid having to have the huge wedding that didn’t feel like them at all!).

So though 3.5 months is a short timeline to plan an entire wedding, I rolled up my sleeves and dug in to their full event design!

Birds Hill Park Wedding Anniversary Photos

If you recognize these cuties, it’s because they were married last summer and I shared their gorgeous intimate wedding photos! This summer they were hoping to have their larger reception, but with Covid and the restrictions the way they were, Amanda and Ryan decided to put the larger reception on hold and celebrate their first anniversary in style with a sweet photo shoot just for the two of them. It was not how they pictured celebrating, but I loved that they went for it and still wanted to make this a special day for the two of them.

For their anniversary, their amazing photographer Brittany Mahood found this gorgeous location in Birds Hill Park with just the perfect tree to set up under. I had approached it from a different parking lot than they did, and I remember thinking, “I wonder if that’s the spot. that tree looks pretty perfect.” Lo and behold, that was the spot!

Polished & Elegant Private Property Wedding

Shannon and David’s wedding was a literal dream come true for me. They are both originally from Manitoba, but now live and work in Toronto (fun fact, I’m actually neighbours with 2 of Shannon’s sisters!). They have incredibly demanding professions and needed to hire a team for their wedding back home that could take the reigns and be trusted. I was so honoured that they reached out to me first, wanting to hire me for floral and event design, and asking for recommendations on other vendors who could make their wedding happen without a hitch.

Intimate Fall Wedding at Wild Skies Resort

Tiffany and Stephanie’s September wedding was one of my favourites…and what’s even better, is that we get to do it all over again next fall, just for a larger group of people!

The couple decided they wanted to still get married on their original 2021 wedding date, but they would postpone the big party until 2022. Steph is a doctor, and Tiff is a wedding photographer, so they both had a pretty good idea of what would be safe and allowable this year. Saving the big party for next year meant changing up the plan for this year — a new venue, a new design plan, and a very intimate guest list. And it was GREAT.
