We were so lucky that Natalie Palmer (Paper Diamonds) agreed to be our florist. Her taste is exquisite and combined with Alice Dentan (Call Me Madame) they exceeded our expectations. Our bouquets were one-of-a-kind, just stunning and amazing to see our vision board realized. I was lucky enough to wear two beautiful dresses. My ceremony dress was a traditional sweetheart fitted gown with beautiful scalloped lace. I worked with Bisou Bridal in Vancouver to pair it with the perfect earrings, veil and custom off-the shoulder sleeves. It was my dream ceremony dress, I’m still absolutely in love. I really wanted to be comfortable at our reception, to be able to dance easily and to enjoy our wedding food so I purchased a second gown with a completely different neckline and silhouette. The second dress was so light and comfortable, I finished the night very late at Sundays Beach Club sitting on the tulle of my reception dress listening to the ocean waves. We were very concerned that purchasing favours would contribute to one-time-use plastics and were very thoughtful about wanting a sustainable option. Alice Dentan (Call Me Madame) recommended an excellent locally made option – bamboo straws with pipe cleaner and a custom cloth cover. My husband and I both agreed we didn’t want a traditional multi-tiered wedding cake. We found an inspiration photo for multiple individual cakes and knew that’s exactly what we wanted. It was one of the most popular reveals of the whole night, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many wedding guests so excited to eat cake!
