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.

Intimate Fairmont Hotel Macdonald Wedding: Jessica + Jonathan
Jessica and Jonathan wanted a stress-free planning experience, so they hired us for Full Service planning, design and coordination nearly 2.5 years before their wedding date. Little did they know, that decision would turn out to be incredibly wise, as they completely avoided the pandemic event restrictions and rescheduling headaches by planning for a July 2022 wedding!
Their intimate Hotel Macdonald wedding featured some personal touches to reflect their interests and relationship, including customized keepsake bookmarks for their guests and stacks of novels from their own collection displayed on the tables; blue and white salad plates as a nod to Jessica’s Portuguese heritage; and protea flowers used in their ceremony arch to pay homage to Jonathan’s South African roots.

Edmonton Wedding Coordinator: Robyn + Byron
Robyn and Byron are such positive and caring people – one of those couples that lights up the room when they enter. Even the rain on their wedding day and a change to the Plan B ceremony location couldn’t dampen their moods. If anything, it made the day even more romantic!
Following their wedding ceremony at UofA Botanic Gardens, the newlyweds brought their cultures together in a beautiful Chinese Tea Ceremony. The couple shows their respect to the elders in their families with an offering of tea; in turn, they receive acceptance of the marriage.
The celebration followed at Edmonton Country Club, where guests dined at long tables and danced on the terrace under the stars.

Edmonton Wedding Coordinator: Haley + Dillon
Haley and Dillon exude kindness and carry themselves with grace. Their wedding day embodied those same qualities and was the most perfect, timeless celebration of their love! After a traditional church ceremony at St. Joseph’s Basilica, they hosted their guests for dinner and dancing at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club.
We love reliving their day through this beautiful highlight film produced by A Love Story, and their gorgeous images by Nicole Ashley.

Jasper Wedding Coordinator: Kailey + Dave
Kailey + Dave were the epitome of elegance on their September wedding day at The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. Not a bit phased by Mother Nature’s plans for rain and forest fire smoke, they focused on what matters most about a wedding: soaking in every moment of love from their family and friends.
Kailey and her mother spent months planning so many beautiful details for the day, and sourcing décor from as far as the South of France where Kailey spent time visiting Dave the year leading up to the wedding.
The colour scheme reflected natural shades found in the Canadian Rockies, including hues of greys and dusty blues. Wooden harvest tables and vineyard chairs retained just the right amount of rustic flair, while gold geometric and marble accents added modern elements to the design.
Following a romantic ceremony set in front of an impressive stone fireplace in the Main Lodge, the couple took off for photos in Kailey’s father’s Triumph TR6 convertible! The night ended with the ultimate comfort food inspired by the newlyweds’ initials: deluxe “KD” mac ‘n’ cheese.
Clearly we aren’t the only ones who were wowed by this wedding. Kailey + Dave’s big day was featured in two amazing Canadian magazines: the Fall/Winter 2018 issues of Weddingbells Magazine and Blush Magazine. Here’s a sampling of the gorgeous images by Nicole Ashley Photography and a captivating video by Juan and Angie.

Edmonton Wedding Coordinator: Justine + Ian
Justine + Ian’s wedding was a chic, vintage inspired affair on a cool November day. Filled with love and laughter, 160 of their nearest and dearest shared their infectious happiness at the magical Fairmont Hotel Macdonald.
Both the ceremony and reception were held in the elegant Empire Ballroom. Justine’s love for all things vintage was evident by so many special touches – not a detail was missed. Black ribbons held a sprig of rosemary at each setting; vintage serving trays displayed guest seating arrangements; antique sofas and trunks provided soft seating in the foyer; and glowing candles were scattered throughout the tablescapes.
I’ll let these photos captured by the talented Sharon Litchfield transport you through every detail of their day – and if you’re itching to see more of this soirée, Justine shares some beautiful sentiments on her lifestyle blog, With Justine.
Thank you, Justine + Ian, for allowing us to be a part of your love story.

Edmonton Wedding Coordinator: Jillian + Ryan
Two creative spirits, Jillian + Ryan ‘s wedding day was a perfect reflection of their personalities and talents. They shared a ‘first look’ at their beautifully appointed home that only a few months earlier had been featured in Avenue Magazine. An outdoor photo session with Nicole Ashley preceded their wedding ceremony and reception that were fittingly held at the Art Gallery of Alberta.
In collaboration with Cory Christopher, Jill + Ryan added organic yet modern décor elements to the AGA’s blank canvas. Ryan is a talented designer and made many of the creative pieces showcased at the wedding, including the wooden centrepieces and concrete votive candleholders on the tables.
The newlyweds surprised all their guests when they performed a duet as part of their thank-you speech. The song transitioned to the dance floor to kick off the party!
Having recently run into them at another family wedding we were fortunate to be a part of, it warmed my heart to see Jill + Ryan so happy and even more in love. Enjoy the photos below by Nicole Ashley, along with the incredible super 8mm highlight film by Arrow Films.
