Maximalist Chic Museum Wedding at Alloway Hall

From the first email from Ashley to me, I was excited. I couldn’t wait to take her maximalist chic meets art gallery vibes at the Manitoba Museum (Alloway Hall) and make it all come to life through the flowers!

This wedding had literally everything I could ever ask for: phenomenal colour, delicious floral ingredients (soooo much sweet pea and oncidium orchids!), an interesting venue and challenging design elements, and a chic, caring client who was just thrilling to work with. A total dream day ✨

Chic White and Green Tent Wedding near Winnipeg

I designed for more all-white-and-green weddings in 2023 than I have in years. I’m always a little surprised because I’m very vocal about my love for colour, but when I started talking with Kyra, I totally fell in love with her chic vision for their tent wedding at a family property just outside of Winnipeg.

Tent weddings, my friends. There are a lot of potential issues that can come up and I had to roll with a few punches during setup for Kyra and Luke’s wedding (helllloooooo wind — it knocked over quite a few vases, broke just one candle holder, and also knocked out the power in the entire neighbourhood for a few hours). But, it all came together beautifully in the end!

How to Have Sustainable Wedding Flowers in Manitoba

It should come as no surprise to you that weddings as a whole can be rather wasteful events. After all, most weddings are very large parties with large guest lists, so even if there’s just a bit of waste per guest, anything times 150 guests adds up pretty quickly.

It might, however, come as a surprise to you that the floral industry can be very wasteful. From huge amounts of plastic packaging, to all of the environmental harm caused by chemicals in large scale farming, to the ramifications of shipping flowers from all over the world, and more…there’s a lot of room for improvement.

I know that many of us are actively looking for ways to reduce our footprint and waste. Our weddings don’t have to sacrifice that!

Modern Country Tent Wedding near Winnipeg

Okay, my friends. Get ready. This wedding is the brainchild of one half of the very popular Rae + Dot Studios, which means that everything was designed to perfection, no detail was left unattended, and the party looked like it was killer.

The wedding was held on Lexi’s family farm, which is IDYLLIC. Granted as I’m writing this, it’s wintertime and I would love to feel that warm sun (it was actually so hot this day) and smell warm wheat fields right now, but just take one look at all of those trees and the huge lawn! It was the perfect setting for their tent wedding just outside of Winnipeg.

Behind the Scenes of a Real Winnipeg Wedding

If you’re like most engaged couples, you haven’t thought about the behind the scenes of making your wedding happen. You’ve thought about your budget and your meal selections, you’ve thought about your music selections and choosing attire, and you’ve probably thought about the hair and makeup timeline on the morning of the wedding.

But most of you, unless you’re DIYing every single element of the wedding, haven’t thought about HOW the actual wedding comes together.

So today, I’m sharing a behind the scenes look at how a real Winnipeg wedding comes together (from a floral designer’s perspective!).
