1 year ago yesterday. Missing planning weddings wi

1 year ago yesterday. Missing planning weddings with ease, where hugging your clients was normal, where no one considered how many bridesmaids were getting ready together in one space, and dinner was served however you wanted. Being a planner has never held a more significant role than now. Only Royce knows (😂🤦‍♀️) how little I’ve slept and how much I’ve stressed over this season still feeling so loving and memorable for our clients despite the every growing list of necessary precautions. Going into a very special week for a client- dotting every “I” and crossing every giant “T” as I thank each vendor for such a huge commitment vendors are making to the industry and their clients this season. 💕

Choosing cocktail tables. It’s hot here in the summer- particularly July weddings. I rarely plan for low cocktail tables in hot months as people don’t like to sit when they’re sweaty. I also forgo candles on cocktail tables in daytime as they can look busy and often blow out in outdoor venues. I put them out in the evening as extra light and atmosphere. Last but not least, ensure your cocktail arrangements are low and heavy. You don’t want anything tippy for an outdoor wedding!

Weddings in Created Lovely’s future: Sweetheart

Weddings in Created Lovely’s future: Sweetheart tables, intimate guest lists, higher focus on personal details, even more private properties + vineyards, a lot more focus creating memorable atmospheres as the guest lists shrink, and a huge focus on safety that also feels as natural as it can. (Ie. standing ceremonies so people stay in their bubbles, no bridal parties or very spaced so you don’t have people that don’t know each other standing together, plated dinners, larger seating charts to discourage gathering around it, individual sanitizers as guests arrive to encourage cleanliness throughout the day, keeping things outdoors to limit bottle necked entrances/exits and ample spacing, not playing dance music or blocking dance floors with lounge furniture to discourage dancing, the list goes on with things we’ve played with.) The Order of BC for events and food & beverage has allowed weddings to still take place under a really strict set of guidelines. Respecting them is the only way to keep the industry moving, keep the public safe, and get very small groups of people back to getting married. 💕

One of my favorite wedding photos- which seems so odd because it was just a quick moment in time but it was so genuine moving from point A to B while guests were dining and clinking glasses. What a beautiful time of day when nerves are settled and everyone’s so relaxed and happy. @christiegrahamphotography @anewleaffloraldesign @stellawolfeco @laurennicolefoot

The most playful and fun engagement session from @kristynharderphotography! To say this wedding is going to be amazing is a huge understatement! Palm Springs x Okanagan vibes.

@nicolleemcneill is an owner of @delicabridal which ironically is also where our bride from last weekend bought her dress!!

Off to @paintedrockwine for the morning to site visit with these two 💕 and then likely a necessary jump in the lake!

Getaway car/our arrival car. It’s important to me that decor isn’t solely decor, but it is an intentional and often practical element. This is the gorgeous vintage Porsche that we just so happened to see from a random passerby the day before their wedding and the bride raced them down to ask if we could use it after our original plan fell through (due to a horrible rain forecast). The bride and her dad arrived to the ceremony in it, a dream vision she’d had from when we initially started planning. It then was used for photos and decor as guests arrived. 💕
