Modern Romantic Wedding at the Manitoba Club

t’s never easy to plan your wedding from afar, but I’ve always LOVED working with couples who are so far away (I really like to make things easier on all you planning for a destination wedding in Winnipeg!)…but Ally and Eddy definitely came from the farthest distance that I’ve worked with!

While she’s originally from Winnipeg, they currently live in Dubai, so we worked through time zones, video chats, and many emails to put this all together.

Thank goodness for Soiree Event Planning guiding the process (and on a shorter than typical timeline as well!), and it all came together absolutely beautifully.

If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you’ll know I’m an unapologetic colour lover. This wedding shows you exactly why!

Romantic Fairytale-Inspired Pineridge Hollow Wedding

Courtney has a really romantic style, and for her wedding to Daniel at Pineridge Hollow, she asked for a romantic, grown-up fairytale-inspired ambiance. We can make that happen!

With the setting at Pineridge Hollow amongst so many trees and lush greenery, I wanted to bring in some very natural details, include lots of candlelight, and we went for a very soft and feminine palette of dusty pinks, mauves, creams, and touches of light blue and sage green.

A Springtime Floral Dream ~ Reverdie Workshop

Earlier this spring, before wedding season kicked off, I travelled about an hour outside of Montreal to attend Reverdie, a floral design workshop. Hosted by Trille Floral (a Canadian designer) and Winsome Floral (an American designer), the experience was quite amazing.

I’ve always believed that hands-on floral design education, and inspiration, is of utmost importance. It’s been a few years since I’ve been able to attend a workshop, and it was worth every penny and every moment. Let me tell you about it.

Bright, Cheerful Lakeside Wedding Near Kenora

I LOVE a good lakefront wedding, and I love a good logistical challenge (every once in a while). So when Sam and Joel first reached out to me (from Calgary!), about their wedding taking place at her family’s property near Kenora, I knew I wanted to be involved.

3 provinces and 2 lakefront locations. Moving pieces back and forth between the ceremony and reception properties and a lot of little things that could be easily missed. With a wedding like this, you’ll want to make sure that you have an excellent team of professionals on board, and we certainly did for Sam and Joel!
