Happy Birthday to one of our favorite photographer

Happy Birthday to one of our favorite photographers and friends @miltonphoto 💛 Justine, we hope your day is filled with all the sweetest things (literally, we haven't met anyone with as big a sweet tooth as you!) and we wish you the happiest 30th birthday!

Ahh I just love this photo. It's one of my favorite cakes by my favorite baker @kakebydarci for Danae & Tanner's wedding featured on @stylemepretty And of course, photographed by the incredible @miltonphoto

Thank you also to @flowerartistry and @modernrentalsweddings

I get to officiate my second wedding ever this wee

I get to officiate my second wedding ever this weekend! This isn't part of our "regular service offering" however it's something I am honored to do in special circumstances. This weekend is my brother in law's wedding and especially considering we are "bubbling" together, it just makes sense! I cannot wait. When I officiated for @dl_gregoire & @just_in_yyc in Greece in 2019 - I was shocked when they asked me...I honestly thought they were kidding, so I laughed and changed the topic 🙈 (They called me after the meeting and said they were serious, lol) But again, it just made sense considering I was already planning and designing their wedding overseas... And you really get to know someone when planning something like that 🥰 It was such an honour and I quickly realized how much I loved being part of the ceremony in such a meaningful way. So excited to do this again and have the best seat in the house for a change!

The owner Lauren, who just happens to be the beautiful model in this photo, is wonderful to work with and has such great taste... This subtle polka dot tux she made was the most exquisite thing!!

Top 5 Rules of Wedding Favours you might not know.

Top 5 Rules of Wedding Favours you might not know...

1- Make it meaningful and/or unique in-order for it to be appreciated by your guests ✨
2 - Personalize it with guest names if you can, and that will almost guarantee everyone takes theirs home ✍️
3 - Don't just buy something because you think you need a favour... Nowadays, you don't! Especially if that budget goes towards having an open bar or a welcome beverage instead 🍸
4 - Make sure your guests can travel with it ✈️
5 - If all else fails, donating to a charity in lieu of a favour is a great option 🥰

Closing the book on one crazy year... The year that never ended. The year that changed everything. What I can confidently say going into 2021 is that we're going into this one armed with confidence, positivity, and gratitude. These are all choices.. And that is all we can control 🥰

Happy New Year ❤️🥂

All bundled up and enjoying the lost days between

All bundled up and enjoying the lost days between Christmas and New Year's... What day is it? Do I have any plans today? Did I have cinnamon buns for breakfast and lunch?.. I cannot answer any of these questions confidently 😝 All jokes aside, we are super excited because in between cinnamon buns and Peloton workouts, we have been putting the final touches on a beautiful NYE elopement for Hannah & Alex and can't wait to help them celebrate ❤️

Also - Ronan is 6 months old today.. how did this happen?! 😭❤️😭❤️ You make me one proud momma little man!

Lisa & Joel's beautiful NYE wedding at @thelakehou

Lisa & Joel's beautiful NYE wedding at @thelakehouseyyc was one of our winter faves, not only because these two were so fun to work with, but because they asked if we could "ice" all 140 guests over dinner... To which my answer was ABSOLUTELY 😂 The drinks were disguised as super bougie favours on every place setting, and guests were instructed to wait to open them until the bride and groom's speech...Then, BAM.

Happy {almost} 2 year anniversary Lisa & Joel ❤️

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night 🎄🎅 Love Stephanie, Julianne and Aimsley

(Also I meant to post this amazing new team photo earlier today but got caught completely off guard with how much work goes into making Christmas dinner!! This was clearly our first year doing this (..Miss you Mom and Dad!) Next year maybe we won't open presents till 2pm 😂 Much love to all, hope the joy & magic of the season was with you today.

...Can I get an AMEN?! We are ready to bid farewel

...Can I get an AMEN?! We are ready to bid farewell to 2020 👋 This year for Christmas @debbiewongdesign custom made these beauties & we sent to a few of our closest vendors who really helped get us through a crazy year. There were a lot of phonecalls and texts and zoom calls between us, some with laughter, and some with tears. We work in an incredible industry full of passionate and resilient creative entrepreneurs, and this year we all had to learn on eachother to get through it. We are so grateful that the Calgary event community is such a kind & supportive place ❤️ Merry Christmas Eve everyone 🎄

Thank you Debbie for making these incredible hand painted ornaments! (Image also by @debbiewongdesign )

Today, DEC 23 is one of my favorite days of the year 🎄🥳 Honestly. I love the anticipation to Christmas. Its usually the last day of work and pre-covid we're normally celebrating & popping a nice bottle of something at the office and having an open house (and getting our husbands to pick us up from work as a result lol). I love that this is when you start getting Merry Christmas messages from friends and when I start blasting the Christmas music with family at home... It really is the most wonderful time of the year ❤️ Even if it's a little different this year, I am so grateful for what we have. Cheers 🥂
