I barely have any of this wedding I can share because we’re submitting it for feature. 🤞🏻 This is often the case with big designs- you’re not supposed to share too much or it can ruin chances of it being picked up by a magazine/blog. That often puts me in a dilemma because at the end of the day, if my clients are happy then does it really matter if it gets picked up? But there’s also a very big business aspect to being featured- which helps validate pricing and expands your reach and can serve in helping to market the Okanagan as a destination wedding region. (Plus as a client it’s just super fun!) So… here’s my last peek at a favorite design and hopefully we’ll see more of this one not shared by me!!

The most whimsical and dreamy ceremony fit for Nicole & Tyler. Nicole is one of the owners of @delicabridal so it was without question how gorgeous her dress(es) were going to be!

All the galleries from this summer are starting to come back and oh my gosh! Feels like such a dream to relive these now that it’s not full planning panic mode from all that COVID craziness. I’ve seriously never had a season that hard in my entire life- I’m so, so, so fortunate to get such incredible clients. I don’t know what I would’ve done if they weren’t all so on board with the changes that came their way and just happy to get married. We did it! Just one more wedding to go this weekend in the mountains! 💕

This design: we were planning at Cedar Creek and I really wanted a way to do the space justice while highlighting the sweetheart table without making it look too small between the large posts. I was a bit nervous to flip the head table to the back vs using the lake view. But I knew I wanted the pergola around the head table and if you know the space, that means you’d be approaching the head table post-ceremony backwards to enter the pavilion... which just didn’t feel like the right option to me. Long story short, this is how it turned out! @anewleaffloraldesign did a beautiful job as always and the pergola from @perspectiveeventdesign fit perfectly.

P.S.- @nadiahungphotography! These are incredible. This wedding was just 3 weeks ago and I’m already viewing a full gallery. 😍

Ladies in blush. A florist will often ask you if you want ribbon for your bouquet or your bridesmaids. With this wedding, we were layering so much texture and going quite far on the feminine side, so the ribbon was the perfect touch!

Cozy Saturday catching up on emails and cleaning. Royce taught me how to use the table saw and planer yesterday. So I might actually attempt to finish most of the front entrance while he’s gone. 🤞🏻 @createdlovelyliving

How do you make sure your guests aren’t eating flowers with their dinner?

Size up your table!

A standard rectangle table isn’t actually deep enough for a centerpiece in the middle unless they’re quite small or bud vases. 99% of the time I rent the KING table from @alloccasionspartyandevent because it’s extra deep. Just remember with larger tables, you also need a larger linen. All Occasions has these in white. You can also get pretty much every beautiful color you want from @perspectiveeventdesign.

Deeper tables are also great for making a smaller guest count in a tent feel really full. Small cost difference for a way bigger impact.

Little Rowy had her very first ballet class tonigh

Little Rowy had her very first ballet class tonight (she’s never done any activity without us before). And even bigger, Nixon had his very first day of kindergarten. 😭

In short- today was a Big day. I don’t live to solely succeed as an entrepreneur. I truly don’t- even when sometimes it feel like it on my end. I’m an entrepreneur because it allows me to live our lives in a way that neither of us had to miss either of these moments today. That tomorrow our kids will come with us to Revelstoke for a wedding where we’ll spend both quality time as a family And get to be creatives and serve clients the way we know best. We do it so that one day our kids won’t pick a job based off society’s checklist of what qualifies as a good career/ instead they’ll hopefully say they want to be as happy as their parents were and they follow whichever path that takes them down.

Our number one priority are these little fingers that held on so tight and also let go today. Today was one big day. 💕
