A favorite detail from yesterday’s wedding. @roycesihlisphoto built the backdrop and completed it with the prettiest custom tassel key chains from @paperocelot.

There was no words for this design other than utterly classic. I loved this elegant, clean, and classic tables cape for Molly & Tim.

Two absolutely beautiful women inside and out became wife and wife this weekend. 💕

They’ve been together for 22 years. Ellen’s dad in his 80’s lovingly walked (and danced!) her down the aisle. Their first look was in front of hundreds of people visiting the winery (to put in perspective they were together before gay marriage was even legal in Canada). There were so many elements and words said this day from everyone there of why this was so incredibly special, but mostly it hit me on such a deeper level of what it means to say, “I see you.” This was the most genuine and true love I’ve ever witnessed in a decade of weddings. Seeing them and hearing them so proudly call each other “wife” was so beautiful. It was genuinely an honor to be there for it and I’m so happy after all this time and a postponement, they did it!

What do change in regulations Actually mean for a

What do change in regulations Actually mean for a couple, planner or vendor:

Change in last call:
✨ adjust the shuttle schedule
✨ email Dj or band to amend contract or scheduled time
✨ email bartender to change service time
✨ add to liquor order
✨ update master schedule
✨ change tear down staff schedule and rental tear down

That’s one regulation.

Change in guest count numbers:
💍 create new room layout with adjusted guests per table and distancing
💍 change graphic design or calligraphy quote and requirements
💍 update floral contract
💍 update shuttle service contract
💍 update all rental contracts
💍 update catering contract
💍 update liquor order
💍 add additional bartenders/clearing staff
💍 schedule or hire more setup/tear down staff

Changing regulations are Hard right now. A wedding that is 90% complete could go back to needing nearly every contract adjusted again with a guest count change. A calligrapher that’s already had a full season could be seeing their work load completely double overnight. A florist that was already struggling with supply issues might be bending over backwards to fulfill an order. A caterer might be scrambling to find staff for your event and update all their food orders and quotes.

The wedding industry is the best- filled with people that believe in how important of a day this is for you and are making it happen! And because of that, they’re tired (just me?) and busy! Kindness and patience is the only way to go right now. 💕

(This is not a note to my clients 😂🤗 I love you all, even if my wedding nightmares started last night.)

Hi! I haven’t showed my face in a while but that

Hi! I haven’t showed my face in a while but that’s about to change as our wedding season really starts to kick into gear this Saturday.

This will be my 11th wedding season! I started planning when I was 21. I met my husband (@roycesihlisweddings) in university at a coffee house night. He asked what I was studying and I said, “event & tourism management but want to be a wedding planner”. When I asked the same he said, “science but I want to be a photographer” and off he went to a photo gig that night. We were good friends for 2 months when the security guard had a heart attack and Royce saved his life with CPR from his medical first responder training. We started dating a week later and started our businesses the following summer. We moved to the Okanagan a month before our wedding and never looked back. 8 years later and over 200 weddings, we’re looking forward into another full season.

While we never could’ve prepared ourselves for COVID with a new house that was mid reno, 4 businesses between the two of us (@kitcameralenssupply @createdlovelyliving) and two young kids, it’s been a really good experience. We’ve learned a Lot about where our true passions lie, where we want to put more energy, which areas feel most natural for us to serve clients, and where we’re headed next.

I cannot wait to share this season with you. It’s easily the biggest designs and truest extension of my style I’ve ever done. Gonna be good. ✨
