Real Wedding: Roslyn & Luke

Ok folks. I am so, so, SO excited to share this one with you. I've been holding on to it for way too long, as we had some publication hopes for it, but it is just too good to wait any longer! This wedding had all of the key ingredients to make it incredible: beautiful couple, gorgeous venues, A-team of vendors, and a palette that has me craving a big glass of Sangria! Ok. So now on to the details...

Roslyn & Luke’s whimsical summer wedding took place ocean side, on a hot and glorious day in the summer of 2015, and oh was it lovely! Working with this adorable couple was an absolute dream, and their fun, quirky personalities paired with the drop dead gorgeous backdrop of the PNW, was the perfect recipe for wedding perfection. The day was overflowing with whimsical and romantic details, fun elements and elegant touches. The Bride’s parents home played host to the ceremony, and was the dream location to share their i-do’s! The couple met at University down in the States, and so many of the friends and family of the Groom, were travelling to this beautiful part of the world for the first time. One of my favourite parts of their wedding, was how we incorporated their dog into so many aspects of the day. From the invitation and day of goods, to even a special floral dog collar…Milo was the centre of attention! The stunning florals, designed by our good friend, Verbena Floral Design, also took centre stage, and wowed the guests from start to finish.

The colour palette, inspired by Roslyn’s (and mine!) favourite summer drink, Sangria, was filled with rich plums, magenta’s, orange and peach. The bouquets popped beautifully against the grey bridesmaids dresses, and the rest of the florals complimented the lighter blush tones throughout. The invitations and paper goods, all custom designed by Caribou Creative., were illustrations of the couple and their dog. And the large painting that hung above the fireplace at the reception, a surprise to the couple from Verbena & myself, helped to create a really cozy and intimate feel in the dining room. This was such a beautiful and fun celebration, and one that we won’t soon forget!
