Edmonton Wedding Coordinator: Stephanie + Matt
Stephanie + Matt blended a traditional church ceremony with a modern, all-white reception at Renaissance Edmonton Airport Hotel.
After hair and makeup at Carrie’l Salon & Spa, the ladies enjoyed bubbly and got dressed in the Onyx Suite at Matrix Hotel. Stephanie’s eight bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning in their mismatched white formal dresses. They joined up with the dapper groomsmen to take photos at Renaissance after the church service at St. Joseph’s Basilica.
The reception design was monochromatic and minimalist, with geometric centrepieces and lighting, and white florals including hydrangea and calla lilies. Amidst the all-white reception décor was a colourful rainbow candy table with Henri – Fabloomosity’s infamous boxwood elephant – overlooking the display.
Right before the final speech, Stephanie’s sister initiated a surprise flash mob that filled the dance floor with guests singing and dancing. This was the biggest and best one we’ve seen executed at a wedding! Stephanie’s jaw dropped and she was blown away by this surprise.
Jade Gabrielle did a wonderful job capturing this stylish day!

Banff Wedding Planner: Nicole + Blake
Nicole + Blake were married at the Castle of the Rocky Mountains – The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. We worked with this fun-loving couple from start to finish to plan and design their mountain destination wedding.
The wedding was designed to enhance the dramatic elegance of the venue with a non-traditional colour palette to reflect the unique personal styles of the bride and groom. Mixed metallics and laser-cut stationery details hinted at the medieval characteristics of the hotel, while lush brightly coloured florals added romance and femininity. Some unique décor elements included a custom black glitter aisle runner, a metal seating chart and laser cut place card wraps around the napkins.
Guests received two custom flavours of fudge from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory that were hand selected by the bride and groom. They also took home an evergreen seedling plant in honour of Nicole’s late father. Duelling pianists were brought in as the evening entertainment, and they kept guests on the dance floor all night long!
Carey Nash’s jaw-dropping photography in a picturesque destination was a perfect match. Read more about Nicole + Blake’s Banff wedding weekend in the latest issue of Blush Magazine.

Edmonton Wedding Planner: Sandy + Steve
Last week we shared the inspiration behind Sandy + Steve’s Enjoy Centre wedding design. As far as winter weddings go, this one is pretty spectacular!
Both from large families with strong cultural traditions, we worked with Sandy + Steve to fuse their East Indian and Croatian backgrounds to create a truly unique event experience.
- A traditional East Indian Henna (Mehndi) party was held before the wedding.
- A Croatian band played at the ceremony and throughout dinner.
- Sandy wore a gorgeous ivory lace gown for the ceremony, while her bridesmaids wore traditional East Indian attire.
- Customary Croatian shots of fine cognacs and grappa were served to guests upon arrival at the reception.
- A Dhol drummer escorted the newlyweds into their reception for the grand entrance.
- A mix of Western and Eastern cuisine was served which included family favourites from both sides.
- DJ Pat from Premiere DJs by Urban Metropolis played a fusion of Indian dance music, Top 40, R&B and classic Croatian polkas!

Edmonton Wedding Planner: Lindsay + Ben
Lindsay + Ben are such a sweet couple. Their October wedding day was filled with big, warm smiles from all their family and friends. I just love the look on Ben’s face as he sees Lindsay walk down the aisle at St. Albert Catholic Parish!
Their timeless ivory and gold reception at Matrix Hotel featured a killer candy bar and amazing entertainment – duelling pianists Jesse Peters and Tiff Hall kept guests on the dance floor all night!
Enjoy a glimpse into their love story captured by Nicole Ashley Photography.

Edmonton Wedding Time Lapse
Earlier this summer we had the pleasure of designing and coordinating two events to celebrate Aanchal + Rajat’s marriage. I hope to share some gorgeous photos with you soon but for now here’s something new that we had fun experimenting with. We setup a time lapse camera at Edmonton’s Oasis Conference Centre to capture some of what goes on behind the scenes to prepare for an event. The video also captures the entire ceremony, so if you’ve never been to an East Indian wedding this is a must-see!
The speedy teams in the video include Jennifer Bergman Weddings, QSD Event Services, La Piazza Dasee and the Oasis staff. Décor from Elegant Touches and Special Event Rentals helped complete the gorgeous design of the event.
