Stunning Orange + Navy Tablescape

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

We were asked to create another tablescape for photographers to learn how to take photos from the fantastic photographers Ryan + Beth, We came up with a Orange + Navy theme, which kind of feels tropical with the choice of flowers (orchids, pincushion protea, calla lilies).  Beautiful acrylic chairs from Special Event Rentals were used to create a light airy feel that doesn’t take away from the setting. I created some custom napkins out of some phenomenal navy and white fabric. Just love that pattern! Our model couple was one of past clients from 2012, Emily + Darryl. She looked absolutely stunning in a gown from Delica Bridal.

July 28: Kristie + Patrick

Saturday, January 19, 2013

Kristie and Patrick had a lovely wedding ceremony and reception at the Delta South in Edmonton. It was filled with beautiful purple and bright green details. My personal favourite was the ceremony location. As most of the guests were form out of town it was important that the ceremony and reception be in the same location, the Crystal Gallery at the Delta South provided a lovely setting for the beautiful couple. They had some beautiful dendrobium orchids for centeprieces and a small cake with hand made cymbidium orchids with lots of cupcakes for the guests.

Bird Photoshoot

Saturday, January 12, 2013

One of my favourites things in life are birds. I have two parrots and have always enjoyed watching birds, they are very smart little creatures. JFY Photography + Picture That Photography had approached me early this spring giving me a vague color pallet and an idea for a photoshoot and asked if I was interested. Naturally of course I was, I love birds and the color aqua. So here’s what came out of that shoot with PinkPolka Design,  Akiko Floral Artistry, and Bluebird Cakes.

For more photos check out this photoshoot featured on Wedding Obsession!

You’re Engaged Now What?

Most brides take the first opportunity to go to the dress store and forget the basics. When planning such an important event there are a few things you need to look at before ever stepping in a dress store.

First think of the kind of wedding the two of you want. Is it local, destination, large, small etc. (you don’t need to determine colors or theme but a general idea of your wedding).

Second set your priorities for the wedding – is it the budget, venue, dress, photos, food, number of guests? If you have your heart set on a certain venue, and their capacity is only 150 or their minimum is $18,000 you may need to reconsider a few items.

The third thing you need to sit down and look at before hiring anyone or even looking at those dresses, is BUDGET. The first two steps coincide with the budget. Unfortunately you cannot have a princess wedding, with 300 guests on a $10,000 budget. You also need to discuss upfront with the parents or anyone else involved if they will be contributing.

Once the budget, priorities, and vision have been discussed you can go dress, venue, photographer, etc. shopping. If you don’t do these steps first you will only cause yourself frustration, and possibly hurt your budget.

Happy Planning!

Favourite Wedding Apps

Thursday, December 27, 2012

I love technology and I have a love for making my life easier not harder. Thus I had to share three of my favourite wedding apps with you, so here they are.

 

Appy Couple, Free
In place of the wedding website, it’s an app with information and photos you would have included on a website. Your story, events, key people, news, and registry are just a few items on this app for your guests to go through. It makes connecting with your guests even easier.

 

 

 

 

The Seating Planner, $0.99
An essential for any wedding. It allows you to put all your guest names in, and move your guests from table to table, selecting your table sizes etc. You can also enter meals and any other details required. It will make your seat planning much easier.

 

 

 

Instagram, Free
It’s free and most people already have it. Lots of brides want to see photos form their guests’ point of view and there’s no easier way than to have everyone post them to instagram with your own hashtag.
