How to Flawlessly Translate ‘Clean Girl’ Aesthetic to Your Wedding Design

The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision
Sparrow Lane has such a romantic feel about it; it’s elegant and elevated which is what we wanted our wedding to be. The cobblestone pathway leading you to the ceremony area outdoors and the massive floor to ceiling arched windows that surround the entire reception area inside make it feel so enchanting. We felt it was important to get married in a space that felt relaxing and very private and our venue was exactly that. Seeing all of the vendors come together, and create such a fanciful but modern space was a dream come true.
Proposal Story
Sam proposed to me on July 29, 2023 at the Jasper Park Lodge in Alberta. That morning, we decided to take our dog paddle boarding on Lac Beauvert. Our dog, Frankie had never been swimming nor paddle boarding before, so we knew we were in for a few laughs. We jumped into the freezing lake and laughed until our stomachs ached. I had no idea he’d propose later that night because he had no nervous energy throughout the day. As I was getting ready, he took the dog out for a walk and called me shortly after asking if I could meet him by the same lake... I walked over there, and that’s when he got down on one knee and popped the question.
The Fashion
Wedding Gown
My wedding gown was from the Martina Liana Luxe line; the style was LE1270. The designer allows you to customize anything you like, so I removed and added a few things to make it truly one of a kind. All of the 3D floral embellishments and tulle made me feel so special. The dress had elements of everything I had liked in previous dresses but all in one.
Bridesmaid Dresses
I had a vision that all of my bridesmaids would be in something simple but still very impactful and fashion forward. I chose the Elenora Rose Gown from Meshki because of the 3D floral detailings. My wedding gown had 3D floral embellishments, so I felt it just went perfectly. These white dresses had a timeless elegance to them and tied into the monochromatic look I was going for.
Groomsman Attire
The groomsmen wore matching black Giorgio Fiorelli suits and the groom wore a Casa Del Sarto double breasted suit. Everything was purchased from Mr. Derk in Edmonton, Alberta.
The Details
Food & Drink
• We chose to serve our meal family style to offer people the ability to enjoy both proteins for their main course. It was also a wonderful way to promote conversations amongst guests. • Salad - Mixed greens with fresh berries, gouda cheese, candied walnuts and coconut poppyseed dressing. • Main Courses - Roast chicken supremes in a warm lemon vinaigrette with tzatziki and warm potato salad. - Ginger beef short ribs with coconut rice and garnished with sweet pickled carrots and pea shoots. • Sides - Roasted seasonal vegetables with honey and thyme. - House-baked herb bread and butter. • Sam’s signature cocktail was a nanaimo cream cold brew - it was made with spiced rum, nanaimo cream, cold brew coffee, sweetener, and bitters. Cassidy’s signature cocktail was a berry coconut mojito - it was made with strawberry and blueberry vodka, coconut syrup, berries, soda, mint and lime. • We had a dessert bar for our guests. We offered blondies, brownies, french macarons, and cupcakes.
Florals & Decor
For the floral design, we wanted to keep everything very elegant in a white and green palette, but took a unique approach to the classic by leaning into the textures and tones of the blooms themselves with an emphasis on green blooms rather than foliage. The florals were soft, romantic and elevated brining the room to life in a subtle but impactful way. For maximum sustainability, we also repurposed all of the ceremony arrangements in the reception space in a way where everything had intention and felt like it belonged.
Wedding Cake
We went with a classic vintage cake design with buttercream piping and frills. The cake was red velvet; it had high quality red cocoa powder and it was layered with vanilla bean cream cheese buttercream and vanilla swiss buttercream. The cake was very small, and only meant to serve my husband and I.
Special Detail #1
All of our signs and wedding stationery was created by Makari Design Co. We wanted to keep everything well-balanced and symmetrical, so we chose to have arched signs and stationery items to match the windows at Sparrow Lane.
