August 29th, 2015

I loved working with N & B, they were very relaxed and wanted to have fun and enjoy their wedding. I was given the opportunity for a little "creative freedom" for their wedding, I was hired for Day of Coordination, but there was a few little details I was asked to complete.
 
They went for simple and elegant, and this wedding was just that. Their ceremony was held outside at Canyon Ski Hill, although it was a little windy, the day was otherwise nice. I really love the atmosphere that Canyon Ski Hill offers in their banquet room. It's rustic, but will suit any and all themes and colour schemes.
 
As you can see, there are mini cupcakes paired with their cutting cake. There were 13 different flavours of mini cupcakes from a lady based out of Sylvan Lake. They're so flavourful and delicious, not to mention how cosmetically pretty they are!

A hired me to do decorating, takedown and Day of Coordination for their beautiful Kananaskis wedding. The ceremony originally was set to be outside, however the hotel cancelled the plan because it was raining. It was unfortunate because the view they had for their ceremony was stunning.
 
At first I wasn't sure of the colours A had chosen, Peacock Blue and Purple. They were different, and I wasn't sure how well they would go together. See for yourself below, they looked incredible paired together. Her centrepieces had real flowers, and smelled amazing! The Cigar Bar was something new to me, I haven't seen one at a wedding before. I like that it added an extra special personal touch as the groom enjoyed cigars. Lets talk about the cute twig hearts on the cupcakes, they were on EVERY cupcake, and there was a gorgeous "F" for their cake topper. Everything looked stunning in the end, as you can see in the photos below! This wedding was at the Delta Kananaskis, which truly was beautiful!

C hired me to assist her with their vow renewal. She was incredible to work with and had so many fantastic ideas. Their vow renewal was in the Banff Springs Hotel, which is STUNNING.

I did the set up and take down for this vow renewal with approximately 12 guests. They picked an incredible venue, the views were stunning, the architecture was beautiful, and the landscaping around the Banff Springs Hotel just completed the package.

I was hired by A to do their decorating and take down. Their wedding was held at the Black Knight Inn in Red Deer. Just like the other venues I have worked with this year, the staff at BKI were fantastic and really helpful!

I had an assistant for this wedding, and I am so glad I did because it gave me more time to focus on the fine details, and making sure the chair sashes looked fantastic. I loved the colours they used, and how everything turned out.

The chair covers were spandex and wrapped around each leg individually, they were accompanied by satin eggplant purple sashes and runners. Each table was dressed in white with a purple satin runner, purple rose petals and diamonds, along with a diamond and orchid centrepiece that had purple lighting.

There was approximately 90 people at this wedding, and set up took 5 hours with my assistant and myself, takedown took 2 hours between the two of us.

For S & A's wedding, I did Day of Coordination, with minimal set up. The day was windy and rainy off and on, which made it a little challenging to keep everyone dry, and everything standing for their outdoor ceremony. BUT the rain broke for the duration of the ceremony and started just after they shared their first kiss, what a wonderful way to end an outdoor ceremony.

The timeline for this wedding was unique, they did their first look and photos prior to their 5:00PM ceremony. This was a new adventure for me as I hadn't been a part of a wedding that had a unique timeline like this one.

Their reception had a very intimate and romantic feeling to it, and I just adored the way it turned out!

A & A were an organized couple, that were relaxed. They were on top of everything and had their own checklists for every aspect of their wedding. I did Day of Coordination for this lovely couple, which included a little bit of set up for the ceremony area. For coordination, I attended their rehearsal and gave instruction as to when each party should walk, suggestions on how the groom should assist his bride to their standing position at the ceremony, along with coordinated their grand entrance.

Their wedding was at the Innisfail Golf Course, what a lovely venue for a Spring - Autumn wedding. The staff was fantastic, everything they coordinated ran on time with the schedule for A & A, and there were no issues. The food was also delicious!



This wedding was unique, I love the bird cages with the bird nests & treats! They were absolutely adorable! The bride and groom made their own cake stands, and their own guestbook, they're very talented!

I first met with this bride a in October 2014, and I remember liking her personality and knew that this was going to be a fun wedding. It really was a fun wedding, from the rehearsal, to set up, to the funny wedding party.

They went for simplicity, but it looked stunning, as you can see. They had a garlic pepper spice for their take home favour for all of the guests (which by the way, tastes yummy on SO many things). Their centrepieces were done by Calyx Floral Design, they include white lilies, blue water beads, and black grass to dress the bowls up.

There was 240 guests at T & J's wedding, so there was a lot of decorating to do, however ALL of the wedding party was very involved in making this process easy, a lot of them even learned how to tie the bows for the sashes! The venue they chose was Sylvan Lake Community Centre, which I highly recommend, the staff is amazing to work with, and they're so helpful in every aspect.

Here's a few photos of the ceremony and reception!
