just a few more weeks of wedding season until basic personal maintenance resumes. in the meantime, sanity + toenails are hanging on by a thread 😂💅🏼

ELYSE + JOSH // a garden party, but make it a little extra 😛🌸🍸

Athiana Acres was manicured to perfection + absolutely drenched in flowers. every corner, every angle, every little detail. an effortlessly relaxed meadow-meets-refined-garden-party kind of dream, with soft summer colours, cheerful pastels + sophisticated touches of black + gold. and can we talk about the tiniest little pearls on the place cards?! 🥹

and then there was the FOOD. this wedding officially broke our record for the most F&B vendors at a single event — TEN different caterers, restaurants + vendors serving up made-to-order matcha, korean salt bread, sushi of our dreams, thai food, ice cream, late-night pizza, cookies, cake + the most delicious cocktails by Fig & Honey Bar Company. SO. MUCH. GOODNESS.
and as if all of that wasn’t enough, the couple was an absolute DELIGHT 🤍

and not to brag (maybe a little), but this might have been one of the most beautifully executed timelines we’ve ever had. the ease, the flow, the oodles of breathing room built into the day. everything just WORKED because the couple trusted us. well, except for that moment when the wind decided our draping needed to relocate itself + we had to get a little creative 🙃 but hey, what’s an event without a little problem-solving behind the scenes?!

and even with 30,000+ steps under each of our belts by the end of it, these are the kinds of days that stay with us. the warmth of the sun on our skin, the joy radiating from family + friends and the privilege of witnessing such an incredible milestone in two people’s lives. the kind of celebration that reminds us exactly why we love what we do 🤍

we came to design a wedding. we left wondering if we could just move in 😂🤍

congrats E+J!!! 🥂🍾✨

haven’t worked a day in our life 😅😬

apparently our littlest event team member is in the running for Baby of the Year for The Honest Company by Jessica Alba 😂🥹🤎

if you’ve followed along this past year, you’ve probably seen junior make an appearance or two (or twenty 😂). he’s been coming along for the ride since he was just days old — weddings, events, site visits + all the behind-the-scenes chaos that comes with being baby #3 to an event planner.

the winner gets $25K, appears in a national Honest Company campaign + is featured in Variety Magazine which is all very cool but mostly… TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS 😂

there are apparently many rounds of voting + his mom absolutely does not have it in her to campaign daily during event season 😂 so if you have 30 seconds, every vote counts extra over here!
please vote + share for our littlest PPE team member 🤎

VOTING FOR TOP 20 ENDS TOMORROW (THURSDAY)! I think you can vote daily (at least I have been haha) :)

One baby will appear in a national ad campaign with The Honest Company, win $25,000, and be celebrated in Variety Magazine.

a veryyyyy good day to be butter yellow 💛

the brief was relaxed + refined, upscale-rustic garden party - and somehow every single piece of this day understood the assignment.

the dreamiest private property, wildly beautiful florals, layers of warm + thoughtful details, endless incredible courses, 5-star service, a very good-looking group of humans + the kind of celebration that only got better as the day went on.

we wanted everything to feel elevated yet relaxed, intentional + completely at home in its surroundings - from the butter yellow blooms + layered tablescapes to an unforgettable dining experience that just kept goinggggg.

and THIS is why we love what we do. so many talented people bringing their piece of the puzzle + watching it all come together into something even better than we imagined.

a damn good day from start to finish 💛 (our 35,000+ steps each can confirm 😂)

happy birthday to one of the most important members of the EVENT PLANNING + DESIGN team — my mom! 🤍

for the past 16 years, she’s been our trusted bookkeeper, but her role in this business goes far beyond numbers. over the last 9+ years, she’s driven countless hours (and we’ve flown her in from northern bc more times than i can count!) to help care for my babies while i was onsite producing events. whether at home with the kids while my husband worked + i pulled 18+ hour event days, or onsite with my newborns so i could sneak away to nurse, she’s always been there.

they say it takes a village to raise a family + build a business, but to be a successful entrepreneur, business owner, and mom, it really takes a village... or more like an army. and my mom has been one of the biggest + most important members of mine.

knowing my children were in the very best hands allows me to focus on creating unforgettable experiences for our clients + i will never be able to thank her enough for that.

we truly couldn’t do what we do without her. wishing the happiest of birthdays to our behind-the-scenes mvp. love you mom! 🎉💕

not every wedding needs a grand ballroom, hundreds of guests, or an elaborate production to feel unforgettable ✨

v+m gathered their favourite people around one table at + created the kind of evening that reminds us why we love intimate weddings so much.

the design balanced moody spring tones with old world elegance + modern industrial charm. rich greens, layered purples, deep blues, warm brick, dark wood, bronze accents + soft creams felt right at home within the historic gastown setting, creating a space that was equal parts sophisticated, welcoming + romantic.

but our favourite detail had nothing to do with the florals, rentals or design.

the bride’s mom hand-painted a custom miniature artwork for every single guest. each painting featured a person, pet, place, or memory that held special meaning to the recipient. watching guests discover them, laugh, tear up + share the stories behind them throughout the evening was one of those moments that simply can’t be purchased or replicated.

that’s the beauty of intimate weddings. there is room for the details that matter. room for connection. room for incredible food, great w**e, meaningful conversations + the people who have shaped your story.

v+m, thank you for trusting us with such a beautiful celebration 🤍
