I just LOVE restaurant weddings, so when Ange and Jonathan first reached out about their fall wedding at Smith, I was pumped. Then I heard more that Connie from Harlow Events had planned, and the ceremony location at the Forks, and I was so excited to be on board.

Warm, inviting, and a colour palette that transitioned from summer to fall was the name of the game here, with a real focus on the guest experience. The couple really wanted their guests to have an amazing time, and that always makes for the best weddings.

Citrus-Filled Autumn Wedding at Lily Stone Gardens

Gosh darn it, I looked forward to Chantal and Anthony’s wedding for probably over a year between booking it and the wedding day finally arriving. When we first started talking, their venue hadn’t even been built yet! But we threw around some amazing ideas and over the many months to follow, refined those ideas (along with their wonderful planner, Connie from Harlow Events) until we created the perfect citrus-filled autumnal wedding.

Bold, Playful Wedding at St Charles Country Club

I’m totally embarrassed at how long it’s taken me to get this wedding on my blog. Literally a year. BUT here we are!

I knew I was in for a treat when Soiree Event Planning sent me the design plan for Jacqueline and Jarett’s wedding: bold, playful, SUPER colourful, and garden-inspired. UMM YES PLEASE.

This wedding had so many of my very favourite elements: a really fun colour palette, a backyard (and very intimate) ceremony, a killer arch, really fun centrepieces along with other floral moments, and a client that completely trusted my ideas. I can’t wait to get into this with you!
