Moody Fashion-Forward Wedding at the Hotel Fort Garry

Being part of Sarah and Scott’s moody, fashion-forward wedding at the Fort Garry Hotel last fall was such a delight.

The flowers were not a huge priority for her — and while most of my couples do put a large emphasis on their florals, I know that many couples out there are in the same place as Sarah! And that’s totally, totally fine.

So instead of doing florals all over the place, we kept a close eye on their budget and chose multi-purpose pieces that would highlight a few key areas, and let Sarah’s fashion be the central design moment.

Wedding Inspiration Series: Colour Palette Ideas

We’re back with our latest blog mini-series, with the aim of giving you all the inspiration you need to get into wedding planning. I know that a lot of the different areas of wedding planning can be…let’s say, un-fun…but I hope that all of the pretty can feel like a breath of fresh air for you and reinvigorate your ideas with new inspo!

Today we’re highlighting colour palette inspiration trending for 2025. If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you’ll know that I’m OBSESSED WITH COLOUR. And when I say that, don’t get nervous: when I say COLOUR, I don’t mean that it has to be neon. Or rainbow. Or Crayloa bright (unless that’s what you want).

There’s such a wide range of what we can do with colour. It really sets the stage for your overall ambiance and vibe, and that’s why colour palette is ALWAYS what I start with when I design a wedding. Layering in different shades and tones, adding depth in just the right places, or a pop of something really vibrant to bring that breath of life…nothing but colour can do that.

Warm, Inviting Fall Wedding at SMITH

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.
