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.

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.

Avery and James celebrated their summer wedding at Edmonton’s Castle in the River Valley, the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald. Over 200 guests joined to celebrate Avery and James, as they exchanged vows on the Empire Terrace under a lush, English garden inspired floral arch and sunny blue skies. An ice cream cart kept guests cool while the couple took photos with their Wedding Party throughout the afternoon.

The reception was held inside the Empire Ballroom, where a palette of subdued peaches, blush and dusty blue perfectly accented the traditional Fairmont aesethetic. After a delicious meal, guests enjoyed dancing the night away.
