Ah, Karina and Matt’s wedding. The absolute perfect fall wedding — gorgeous scenery that dreamily coordinated with her colour palette, the greatest vibes, and amazing weather (and the last of the locally grown flowers for the year!). I’ve been waiting to share this modern retro inspired wedding at Starlit Point for the perfect time of the year, and right around their first anniversary seems perfect.
Read MoreYou know I don’t do a lot of all-white weddings, because I’m such a colour lover. But there’s something (or rather, lots of somethings) about Marisa and Rob’s white rose garden-inspired wedding at St Charles Country Club that had me singing a different tune.
When Marisa first emailed me, she was inquiring about event design as well as floral design. With the all-white palette, I honestly wasn’t confident that I could pull off the complete event design, so I suggested she connect with Emily at Feast & Festivities. And as you can see, that was a good direction to point her in because this wedding was STUNNING.
Read MoreI 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!
Read MoreDiane 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!
Read MoreIf 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!
