Intimate Winter Elopement

January 29, 2016

If you've always imagined an intimate, Winter wonderland for your wedding day, this outdoor Whistler elopement is sure to inspire you.

When we first shared images of this beautiful wedding on Instagram, we had people inquire as to whether it was a styled editorial session. We can assure you this was a real wedding! Ailee and Gary said their vows in the company of three witnesses - the bride's brother, sister in-law, and their new baby.

Private and personal, this couple worked with Best Day Ever to plan and design their dream destination wedding from their home in Santa Monica. It goes to show that a small wedding can be every bit as elegant and romantic as a large celebration.

Fall Whistler Wedding

November 27, 2015

This Fall wedding in Whistler was filled with so many of our favorite things. Rustic fall hues, natural-inspired florals and decor, a family-style harvest dinner and a stunning lakeside venue in Nita Lake Lodge.

Incorporating the harvest feel into the florals we accented the centerpieces with grapes, figs and dates, and pepper berry, along with other lush seasonal blooms and foliage such as dahlia, astilbe, oak leaves, smokebush, scabiosa and garden roses.

You can see more from this wedding on Style Me Pretty with planning and design by Spread Love Events and photos by Gucio Photography.

Romantic Hart House Wedding

August 12, 2015

The beautiful combination of ivory and blush with gold accents is such a soft and romantic color palette.

Featured on Style Me Pretty, this Hart House Wedding in Burnaby we worked on with Countdown Events and Blush Photography was a true delight.

From the lush, garden-inspired ceremony arbor on the lawn, to the little sprigs of olive at each place setting, there were so many sweet details.

We executed this floral vision with plenty of foliage including eucalyptus, olive and ruscus, along with blooms such as ranunculus, blushing brides, stock, lisianthus and plenty of varieties of roses.
