A Romantic Garden-Inspired Estate Wedding at Black Barn: Brandy + Kyle

Set against the natural beauty of the Alberta countryside, Brandy and Kyle’s spring wedding at Black Barn was intimate, relaxed and full of charm — a perfect reflection of their down-to-earth connection.

With a soft palette of white, dusty blue and fresh greenery, we embraced the rustic warmth of the venue while elevating the space with refined, garden-inspired details. The ceremony took place outdoors beneath a wooden arbour, surrounded by sweeping prairie views. Inside the barn, guests were welcomed into a romantic setting featuring dainty florals, an airy tablescape, and a stunning rattan chandelier installation. Verdant greenery cascaded from the ceiling beams, bringing the outdoors in and creating a sense of natural whimsy.

From the heartfelt ceremony to a lively evening of celebration, Brandy and Kyle’s day was a beautiful reminder that simplicity — when done with intention — is nothing short of magical.

A Modern, Natural Wedding at Royal Glenora Club: Amy + Martin

Amy and Martin’s wedding day was a beautiful reflection of their calm, grounded energy. Opting for an intimate ceremony with just their immediate families at the historic UofA Arts Building, the couple created space for meaningful connection before joining their full guest list at the Royal Glenora Club for a relaxed and elegant reception.

In line with their laid-back personalities and desire for a day that felt effortless and unfussy, we designed the reception with a clean, classic green and white palette, accented by soft linens and natural wood textures – including gorgeous Wishbone chairs. Floor-to-ceiling windows flooded the space with natural light and offered sweeping views of Edmonton’s River Valley, while organic floral arrangements brought in texture and depth without feeling overdone.

Amy honoured her South Asian heritage with mehndi, and Martin’s mom made a traditional Danish wedding cake — a personal touch that added even more heart to the celebration. From beginning to end, the day was authentic, beautiful and full of love.

Kelowna Wedding Planner: Dyanna + Ryan

Dyanna and Ryan had the most amazing wedding weekend in the beautiful Okanagan! We kicked off the festivities with a welcome event at 19 Okanagan, a stunning open air restaurant on a golf course.

The next day, the couple tied the knot at Sanctuary Gardens – a picturesque ceremony venue in West Kelowna with stunning views of the lake. Luckily, the rain tapered off right before the ceremony and made for some beautiful photos. The reception was held at The Laurel Packinghouse in downtown Kelowna. Romantic florals and soft fabrics created a beautiful juxtaposition amidst the historic event space, with an open beam ceiling and brick walls.

It’s always such a treat to plan and produce destination weddings and multi-day events in the Kelowna area. Enjoy this look back at Dyanna and Ryan’s Okanagan wedding weekend!

Palm Springs Destination Wedding Part 2: Haley + Marco

The wedding venue for Haley and Marco’s Palm Springs destination wedding, Toscana Country Club, is unique from most desert venues in that it has lush landscaping, gorgeous stone architecture, and truly feels like you are in Italy. As Palm Springs Wedding Planners and Designers, we decided to embrace the Tuscan vibe of the venue while incorporating a little bit of Palm Springs character.

The result? Tuscan Garden meets Palm Springs Glam! Romantic, floral and contemporary with a splash of edginess. Our colour story was based around olive green, cream and dusty rose, with accents of black and ochre yellow.

Haley had recently graduated culinary school, so food and drinks were very important! Immediately following the ceremony, tray-passed appetizers were served on the Garden Terrace, as guests enjoyed the scenery and live music.

For dinner, guests indulged in their choice of New York strip, Chilean sea bass or Napa Valley rack of lamb for their main course. His and hers signature cocktails were aptly named “Chef’s Kiss” and “McDavid in the Desert,” as the Edmonton Oilers were in the playoffs at the time of the wedding (the couple rarely misses a game).

The reception was held in an outdoor space called “The Olive Grove,” which was filled with gorgeous olive trees. We designed a unique layout to optimize the al-fresco experience. Guests dined at a mix of long wooden rectangle tables and rounds covered in luxe linens. We used black as an accent through the chairs and flatware to bring in a modern vibe to a traditional setting. Two lounge seating areas with contemporary pieces included accents of ochre yellow and dusty rose; colored marble and fluted tables added texture and interest to the vignettes.

The after party was held indoors at Toscana Country Club, and we transformed the space so it felt like a nightclub – transitioning guests to the final portion of the celebration. It was an incredible weekend, and we can’t wait to head back to Palm Springs for more destination weddings in the future!

Palm Springs Destination Wedding Part 1: Haley + Marco

Palm Springs has always been a bucket list destination for us, so when we got the call from Haley and Marco, it was a match made in wedding planning heaven!

Over 150 guests joined the couple in the Palm Springs area for a weekend of celebration. It was important that we designed events reflective of Haley and Marco’s fun-loving personalities. They are social butterflies and love to host their friends – FUN was a priority!

Haley and Marco hosted a “welcome fiesta” on Cinco de Mayo the day prior to the wedding (since it fell on May 5th). The event was held at a private residence in Indian Wells, and was brightly decorated with vibrant colours, florals and pool lanterns. Guests indulged in signature margaritas, tacos and churros, and were serenaded by a Mariachi band. It was the perfect way to kick off the weekend festivities.

Epic Multi-Day Fusion Wedding Part 2: Alejandra + Jason

Alejandra and Jason’s wedding day was held at the iconic Fairmont Hotel Macdonald. Overlooking Edmonton’s beautiful river valley, we designed the outdoor terrace ceremony with light & airy summer vibes, using ghost chairs and an acrlic altar covered in all-white blooms. Alejandra walked down the aisle with her mother to a classical cover of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love, performed by a string quartet.

Guests returned that evening to a supper club inspired reception featuring a sumptuous 5-course meal before they danced the night away. We designed this event to reflect the couple’s personal styles – sexy and fashion-forward! Some of the design elements included: luxe velvet linens in black and forest green; three styles of ghost chairs; colourful & modern blooms; lush greenery and plant-filled tablescapes; a black & white checkered dance floor.

Epic Multi-Day Fusion Wedding Part 1: Alejandra + Jason

Alejandra and Jason met at a champagne bar in Calgary, Alberta. They were both tagging along with mutual friends – they instantly connected and the rest is history.

The wedding festivities kicked off with a welcome event coined “The Pep Rally,” which was a modern take on a Sangeet. Traditionally, a Sangeet is an East Indian pre-wedding celebration with lots of song and dance. Alex and Jason’s version was held in a newly restored historic building in downtown Edmonton called The Pendennis, with exposed brick and industrial ambiance.

Designed to encourage mingling, the event featured food stations serving Indian fusion cuisine, lounge vignettes and mixed styles of seating. We kept guests on their toes with ever-changing entertainment, including an R&B sax player, traditional South Asian dancers, a dhol drummer and a hip hop DJ!

We only had about 4 months to plan their multi-event wedding week, but we were up for the task and everything came together beautifully. Be sure to check it out here: Part 2, The Wedding Day.

Sparrow Lane Wedding Planner: Brittany + Justin

We couldn’t have hoped for a more perfect fall day to celebrate Brittany and Justin’s wedding at Sparrow Lane. Their ceremony, held in the late afternoon, was on the outdoor patio surrounded by golden fall trees. A string quartet played as Brittany walked down the aisle with her parents, and she and Justin exchanged vows in front of a stunning modern ceremony arbour with white phalaenopsis orchids and white roses.

It was a relaxing day with all events being held at the gorgeous Edmonton area venue, making for a seamless, enjoyable experience for the couple and their guests. The wedding design featured a timeless black and white palette with modern minimalist styling.
