If you ask me, it doesn’t get more romantic than a classic city wedding. And this celebration set in downtown Vancouver completely fits the bill. Melia Lucida captured as the day unfolded, including a touch of rain that made for the sweet bride and groom portraits under an umbrella.
From the photographer… Both the ceremony and reception of this classic downtown Vancouver wedding were held in the Spanish Ballroom of the luxurious historic Rosewood Hotel Georgia. The coziness of the interior was in pleasant contrast to the June downpour outside on the streets. The event was planned and coordinated by Kasia Wardowicz of Alicia Keats Weddings and Events and bedecked with leafy greens from Garden Party Flowers, blush and white blooms which were complimented by tones of gold in the decor.
The bride and groom enjoyed a lunch break with the bridal party after the ceremony and family photos before heading out to the streets with the bridal party and their umbrellas followed by a limo trip on their own (with their photo and video teams) to the empty seawall of Stanley Park for some relaxed portraits alone. They returned to cocktail hour for a few more family photos with grandma and a candlelit reception.
