Our theme was “Secret Garden”. I always loved the look of lots of flowers and greenery and wanted to incorporate this into the wedding. With the help of our fabulous decorator and florist, we incorporated lots of foliage, over sized birdcages, and moss. Our ceremony featured bramble entwined walkways and arches, and lanterns filled with foliage and deep purples.

I have had my share of wedding gowns to try but the moment that I tried on “Joelle” by Vera Wang, I knew it was the one. Having worked closely with the team at Vera Wang in New York for 8 years, it was very exciting to work with them for my own gown.

My headpiece, which I wore all day, was custom made by Olivia Headpieces.
My shoes for the ceremony were by BCBC
My accessories were by Elsa Corsi.
Rings were made by Romance Jewellers
Hair by Deandra of Beyoutiful Artists in Kelowna

BRIDE’S ADVICE

My greatest advice would be to give yourself ample time to plan, and hire a wedding planner!

 

MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT

When Justin and I stepped into our reception, we were finally married, having the time of our lives.   This was the point where we finally got to admire the stunning decor and see all of our closest friends in family in one room together.
