I know covid has put a dent in your wedding planning, but believe it or not, there are still a lot of planning tasks you can keep working on without any hesitation!
I challenge you to still have some fun with your planning, even while we’re in this phase of not knowing what this summer will bring.
Here’s a list of my top 7 wedding tasks you can keep planning!
Read MoreRoberta and Fernando were originally going to have about 150 people at the Winnipeg Art Gallery with a ceremony at her parents’ farm. Since Fer is from Mexico, and his family lives there, obviously that meant major changes to the wedding plans. They still wanted to get married, but they pivoted: everything would now be on the farm just outside of Stonewall, and since his family couldn’t be there, the guest list would be massively reduced to the bare minimum: the bride’s parents and siblings, my sister and myself, and the groom’s best man and his wife.
It may have been small, but dang, it was mighty.

Every wedding season, I aim to use as many locally grown flowers as possible. And every week when I get my delivery, I get excited.

As a result, the way we think about the atmosphere of our weddings has changed.

Read MoreJen grew up with grandparents who worked in the flower growing and gardening industries in England, so she wanted to prioritize the flowers — and I was not going to say no to that! Knowing how much of an impact flowers make on the overall design, this couldn't have been a better decision -- especially for a couple who aren't afraid of colour!
After changes in date, venue, and even province, we re-envisioned the wedding design 3 months before the new date. What was originally to be a July wedding, and then a destination wedding in BC, was re-planned during Covid for August, back in Winnipeg. I was SO excited to get their email saying it was back on, in Winnipeg, and that I’d get to be a part of their day!
