Transportation Referral

September 2, 2010

el_g_6_lrgI don’t normally do this, but these were not normal circumstances. At Tanya + Ken’s wedding, the limo originally hired by the couple did not show up (yes, it happens, which is why you need a wedding planner). I phoned several companies and Rick from Eternity Limousines stepped up on his day off to give the couple the royal treatment on their special day. So for that I highly recommend him. Not only was he professional, his company is well run and has several different limo options. If you are still looking for transportation on your special day, give Rick a call!

Lindsay + Cory, July 31

August 16, 2010

This post is a start to several new ones that have been scheduled, it sure has been crazy!

The wedding started out at the U of A Convocation Hall, with a backdrop provided by A Chair to Remember and extraordinary ceremony pieces by Wild Orchid.38954_10150236576045206_683155205_13924514_1368640_n38803_10150237366070206_683155205_13949788_4480750_n

Their theme was “Lucky in Love”, as Cory proposed to Lindsay when they were in Las Vegas, very fitting! Take a look at these extraordinary center pieces, with playing cards as table numbers.

July 17: Kat + Thomas

July 26, 2010

Kat + Thomas were married and had their reception at the Union Bank Inn. It is a small but very beautiful venue. They had a casino/Las Vegas theme, with purple and teal being their theme colors (which look spectacular together!)

The bride had made the trees for wishing trees but they were also used at the front of the room beside the fireplace mantel. They had a beautiful custom unity candle and a memory floating candle on each side of the ceremony.

For the reception, they did not want a dance. They wanted a fun money casino that was also a mystery that needed to be solved by the guests. It was extremely neat and the guests definitely enjoyed the change in entertainment. I have more décor photos coming up – you’ll have to see the beautiful centerpieces, but those are being processed by a professional so now these will have to do!

Last weekend I had the privilege of assisting Isabel and Nick with their wedding day. Below are some of the wedding detail shots that ENV Photography took for me (not the contracted wedding photographer, I gave up on trying to take my own photos). Later I will post some photos from the wedding photographer of the beautiful bride and groom!

christine__jon_07Well rain wasn’t exactly what we wanted, but the snow that followed the rain in the evening luckily held off until the evening! Christine and Jon are two extremely beautiful people who are very caring and fun - their smiles were contagious!

These favours (Photos to come shortly)were super yummy – and the cake stunning. I haven’t seen that level of work on sugar flowers in a very long time. These ladies at Jam on Your Face are certainly going to be successful, as their work speaks volumes for their attention to detail.

Candy bars are certainly hits at every wedding I go to, they never seem to get old. It’s probably because we’re all kids at heart anyways.

real life wedding

February 24, 2010

I just had to share this wedding I stumbled upon when I was looking for inspiration for a client. It is simple, vintage inspired, and oh so beautiful!

First wedding of 2010, and what a beautiful wedding with a fabulous and absolutely stunning couple.

The wedding ceremony was held in the beautiful Jean Baptiste Catholic church in Morinville, Mike’s hometown. The photos below are from the extremely talented Erik Hornung, and are only a sampling, I can’t wait to see the decor and all the rest of the fun bridal party photos!

The reception was held at the Edmonton Garrison Officer’s Mess Hall, flowers were created by Corals,  DJ and transportation services from Revolution DJ, catering by Elizabethan.

There was a beautiful blue snowflake brooch in the front of  Taryn’s bouquet from her maid of honor, it was a simple and elegant touch.

typewriter guestbook

How much fun is this for a guest book? Cute and would tie in easily with any vintage theme. Guests added their words of wisdom for the couple one the typewriter instead of a traditional paper guestbook.

This was another beautiful and very special wedding. Feyi and Tony were a delightful couple to work with.  I wish them all the happiness they deserve. It was an absolutely delightful wedding to be a part of, and I feel very special to have been involved in their wedding that incorporated a few of their cultural traditions!

trend: unique guestbooks

September 28, 2009

Wow over the past couple of months I have seen plenty of unique out of the box guest books. Including the Map that Melissa used to have guests sign, the scrapbook style Stephanie used and now this tops the cake. This couple scanned in old receipts and all kinds of tickets stubs they had saved over the years of their relationship to create a truely unique guest book.
