ABOUT us
There are very few moments in life as magical as celebrating with every person you value most.
With hundreds of weddings, thousands of guests served, millions of dollars budgeted, we’re here to help you fully experience the magic.
OUR STORY
Established in 2012 in Kelowna BC,
CREATED LOVELY has thoughtfully designed and planned over 200 outdoor weddings.
NIKKI Sihlis
OWNER, Lead Planning + Design
You’ll never hear yourself say, “I wish I did more work on my wedding day.”
12 years ago I created a company that would eliminate any work that would inhibit a client or their loved ones from fully experiencing their day. Nothing but full service would do. As we got more established, design was becoming such an integral role in the experience- the ambiance of string lights, the wow factor of the moment the reception opened, not to mention the stunning Okanagan views- we knew design and full planning needed to go hand in hand. Over 200 weddings later, we’re busy creating some of most detailed and well executed events the Okanagan has to offer.
When I’m not working (and even when I am!) you’ll find me with my photographer husband, Royce Sihlis, and our two kids revelling in all the Okanagan has to offer. That or we’re knee deep in renovations as we’re both equally as passionate about home design as we are about weddings.

CARLA Weiler
ASSISTANT PLANNER
Carla has worked on the CL Team for 4 seasons- each year bringing thoughtful and attentive service to each one of our clients.
Her favorite part of the wedding day is the joy on the couples’ faces when they enter their reception and have settled in and relaxed for the evening. Throughout the day you’ll see Carla serving your guests by anticipating their needs before they’ve even arose, and assisting in all logistics of the day.
ROYCE Sihlis
CUSTOM BUILDER
Royce has been creating custom build designs for our clients for years. Champagne walls, limoncello favor walls, seating chart, custom bars… and most recently building and designing the Okanagan + Co store together at YLW Airport.
Custom builds allow us to serve our clients through unique and one of a kind pieces that will wow their guests and push boundaries of what is offered here.
