Our Instagram, Your Inspiration

How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

How wonderful life is while you’re in the world 🤍 It’s been a month since this sweet guy arrived! A special shout out to the JYW Team that’s been seamlessly running the ship in Julianne’s absence, and a warm thank you to our clients & vendor partners for your kindness and flexibility during this exciting time 🫶 Thanks for giving us the space to slow down and enjoy these sweet moments of the first 4 weeks. We’ll have an update coming in October about Julianne’s return 🎉

And Justine, @miltonphoto where do we even begin with how much we love you. Thank you for these very special images 🤍 Your talent is beyond!

Fall weddings in the Rockies just hit different 🍂 🏔️ It’s no surprise that fall is almost fully booked for our team next year, it’s such a popular time and for good reason.. Cooler temps, less crowds, less smoke… All good things! The team is off to the mountains today to bring to life another very special wedding in Banff. We absolutely love watching the colours come to life this time of year (so basic, we know… But facts are facts!) and it makes for such a peaceful drive from Calgary.

Remembering one of our faves @fairmontcll with @jessica.bertschi and @rob.bertschi 🤍 Happy (early) Anniversary to you 🥂

If there is one thing we can assure you with a JYW wedding… It’s going to start out refined, polished & beautiful, but once the sun sets, your guests WILL unleash themselves on the dance floor 🪩 We love to find that perfect balance between “pretty” & “party of the century”.

We hope you love this progression of images, an evolution as the creatures of the dance floor come out for the night 😂

Welcome Parties have become a very popular way to extend your wedding past just a single day.. And we’re here for it! Whether it’s a destination wedding or not, many of our couples are opting for a unique experience the day prior as a kickoff to the weekend. Today on the blog, we’re talking about our favourite places in Banff to host a Welcome Party or Rehearsal Dinner 🎉 One the of most common questions we’re asked in the planning process!

Mt Stephen Hall… We have designed in this room probably over 100 times, and we still love every single angle it offers. One of our faves for a reason, the epitome of timeless 🤍

Bridal Parties… Why we love them, and a few do’s and don’ts when it comes to selecting your entourage 👇🏻

1) No seat fillers 🪑 Nothing is worse than trying to have the perfect even number of people standing with you, and opening the circle to some you wouldn’t normally consider for the sake of even numbers. It’s 2023. You’re allowed to have uneven numbers up there!

2) Good vibes only ✌🏻Surround yourself with a crew that loves and supports you. That’s a basic requirement, even when it feels like rules of etiquette tell you otherwise. You have to be your own advocate on this one.

3) Lean into Fashion 👗No we are not all wearing the exact same dress anymore if that doesn’t suit everyone’s body type and style. Please make sure the girls love the dress if they are expected to pay for it, and give them some flexibility if that’s the case. Go for polished and well styled, versus matchy matchy.

The Victoria Terrace @fairmontcll had one of the best views for a wedding and it’s currently in the middle of a very exciting renovation. We cannot wait till this spot reopens and we can bring to life beautiful ceremonies like M&J’s again… It’s going to be worth the wait, that’s what we know for sure!!
