Let’s not focus on what’s happening down south today 🇺🇸 (as I keep planning which wine I’m going to drink to calm the jitters). Instead, let’s focus on something pretty, and relaxing and natural... flowers, we shall focus on flowers. Like these gorgeous bouquets by the amazing Lavender & Lace in Kelowna 🌸♥️

Iced: verb \īst\ : a drinking game and internet meme popular in 2010, in which one person conceals a bottle of Smirnoff Ice in a place that another individual will find it: upon doing so, they are immediately required to kneel and drink it.

You often see someone get iced at weddings these days, but have you ever seen a bride and groom ice an entire wedding party of this size?

Proud (is proud the word to use?? 😉) to say that we have!

Cheers! 🥂

I have COMPLETELY immersed myself in fall: wearing alllll the plaid, making and freezing stews, soups, and all things comfy and cozy, planting fall plants, pumpkin and apple everything and revelling in all the creepy and spooky movies and shows. My go-to creepy fall movie is Lost Boys circa 1980-something. Looking for all your favourites!

On a completely different topic, peep this wedding party. Gorgeous, sweet, kind and fun! Also, super interesting to run a rehearsal with after they spent a day wine touring 😂

Since I’ve been chatting about photo shoots and celebrating our amazing industry professionals, here is an amazing video that I received this morning from the Uber talented Noah at Ark Media House of our 2002 celebration of industry professionals shoot. It took a whole army of us to bring this day together, and I am so very proud of what we created ♥️

Centrepieces: tall and leafy or short and bright?

We can never decide, so we are huge fans of mixing it up and having both!

Well friends - That’s a wrap for 2020 weddings!! It was a heck of a year with so many changes and so much unknown, but it was still amazing!

We worked with our couples to make sure that they were able to reschedule with as little stress as possible, and assisted other couples in reorganizing their wedding to ensure they could still get married on their desired 2020 date, while staying safe and healthy.

The biggest thing we shared with our amazing couples is that, you are not having a COVID wedding, a 2020 wedding, a pandemic wedding, you are having YOUR wedding. Yup, it happens to be in a time of pandemic, but the bigger story here is yours!!

A huge congratulations to all couples who got married this year, and to those who have decided to wait until a future date, we cannot wait to help you celebrate your when you’re ready!!

(Please note that this photo is from a 2019 wedding - all of our celebrations this year adhered to local COVID-19 protocols)

We interrupt this very carefully planned feed to give props to all the pups out there!!

Happy International Dog Day to all the furry ring bearers, flower girls and fur babies out there!!

In case we haven’t been super clear, we are 100% pro dogs at weddings & will always have
t-r-e-a-t-s on hand for all four legged wedding guests 🐾

Interesting fact: this little pupper was so excited to meet me, that she peed on my leg and foot when she got to the venue, and because it was go time, there was no time for anything to be done about it. So I stood through the ceremony with a wet foot and leg. Was I mad about it? Not a bit. Did I still love that sweet little Tess dog? Oh heck yes. Even if it means getting peed on, I am ALL for dogs at weddings!!

This shot of our handsome groom and his sweet, sweet fur baby is 👌
