Forest Fairy

A gorgeous ethereal gown with just the right amount of sparkle! The pale blush chiffon looks perfect against the lush forest setting - modern woodland wedding anyone? This fabulous frock is designed by Ellebay Bridal Boutique in New Westminster - a mother and daughter design duo who make amazing custom gowns. Gotta love local talent!

wondrous wedding

I had the pleasure of designing wedding invitations for Brett and Ben several months ago for their recent wedding in Victoria, BC. The happy couple met while working in the theatre on board a cruise line - hence the playbill/travel theme. How amazing is it that they had their first date in Italy and were engaged in Brazil?! I also designed table number postcards that featured just some of the wonderful places that these two have visited. Congratulations to Ben and Brett and cheers to many more travel adventures to come :)

i heart ivy + aster

Pretty garden party style frocks from Ivy & Aster. Love the styling and vintage looking botanical prints in the background. Also note the grassy floor - magnifique!

Rainbows overhead

How amazing is the simple, yet effective decor for this DIY greenhouse wedding? I love the multicoloured strips of fabric that seem to create a series of floating rainbows on the ceiling! Any volunteers to help me start ripping fabric for next year? ; )

pom pom vines

Handmade tissue paper pom pom flowers and paper leaves from Once Wed. This reminds me of the time I made a giant pink pom pom, attached it to my head and called myself a flower on halloween : )

dreamy do's

Pretty hairdos for your I do's from the ban.do bridal collection. I love the styling of the shots for all three of the ban.do collections!
