“I want my wedding to be classy, beautiful... and fun! Does that make sense?”

If I had a dollar for every time I asked my couples their dream wedding in 3 words and these were the ones...

Yes, yes, yes. Of course it makes sense! We’re not bringing your guests all the way to the Okanagan to celebrate and put them in a stuffy environment full of flowers and candles where they can’t even see each other and food they don’t know how to pronounce. We’re here to give your guests (and you!) an atmosphere that wows you on Top of an event that’s been seamless from the second they get on the shuttle, to a cocktail in their hand before they need to ask, and music that pulls them to the dance floor. The design elevates it, but good planning is what makes for an awesome experience. And you can have both.

Events that look stunning, but feel easy. That’s what we’re about.

Did you know that a good majority of vineyards in the Okanagan require you to get married there in order to take photos at them? Make sure you ask a vineyard for permission before you show up to take photos!

This couple eloped with one of our micro wedding packages at @fitzwine with @roycesihlisweddings. 💕

Last year’s COVID drive by wedding favors.

“When life gives you lemons, make limoncello.”

We had the limoncello made by @borntoshake as a nod to their Italian honeymoon they weren’t able to take. Royce and I designed and built the favor wall and then we had @paperocelot make the prettiest custom labels for each bottle.

🍋 Something tells me there’s going to be a Lot of celebrating this summer.

There’s nothing like an outdoor wedding. I can smell the lake just looking at this picture.

Sunset pictures are the best because it pulls you away from the reception for just long enough to reset and take in your favorite parts of the day. It grounds you into the magic of your surroundings before you’re back to socializing and dancing the night away. ✨

And just like that, wedding season has officially

And just like that, wedding season has officially begun! Headed home from a beautiful weekend in Revelstoke and ready to get back into planning for the rest of the season.

Excited to be starting @roycesihlisphoto and I’s wedding season in Revelstoke and ending it in late September here as well!

Did you know that Royce grew up here and we got married here 8 years ago? It’s also pretty much the only place we take our kids on vacation because there’s always something we all love about it here.

First rehearsal of the season starts tonight for a very intimate wedding and Royce is off on a heli tomorrow afternoon for photos. Safe to say if you need a planner or photographer for here, we’re all in. 🥰

Not too much longer with these micro weddings unti

Not too much longer with these micro weddings until we’re back to gathering. In fact, the newest regulation already allows for 50 person Outdoor* seated ceremonies**.

Next set of BC regulation changes:
June 15
July 1
Sept 7

How are you feeling about the new changes?? 👇

Wine barrels are really popular decor in the Okana

Wine barrels are really popular decor in the Okanagan (not because they’re rustic) because we’re full of vineyards! They’re actually quite appropriate for the venues and add character vs a barn feel.

Note:
When using a barrel for a ceremony, you’ll need a pretty decent floral budget for the flowers to look to scale, otherwise the barrel takes over.
- they can be used for cake tables, cocktail tables, podiums, bars, or ceremonies. But use in moderation. If you’re going to use wine barrels, also mix up tables with linens so that it doesn’t look too wood heavy and rustic. When you use accents like this in moderation is adds just enough character without becoming “theme-y”.
