Love by the Lake

Lance and Scott’s wedding was a breathtaking blend of nature and architectural/industrial vibes, a true reflection of their unique love story. Every detail, from the elegant touches to the edgy metallic accents, spoke to their love for modern design and architecture. It was a beautiful Kelowna wedding that brought together friends and family to celebrate a love story.

Wedding Planner Shawna Gray of White Orchid Weddings & Events found it a privilege to bring Lance and Scott’s vision to life. “From the moment I met them, it was clear that their connection was something truly special, filled with genuine warmth and laughter. They chose to be surrounded by the serene beauty of Okanagan Lake and embraced by their closest friends and family. On Hotel Eldorado’s rooftop ceremony space, they exchanged their vows in a moment that was both intimate and filled with joyful tears. Yuriko of Vintage Origami Weddings designed and handmade their custom geometric backdrop, adorned with lush moss and marble, perfectly complementing the copper dessert bar props and handcrafted florals. The style of incorporating a monochromatic palette with geometric elements and metallics was stunning.”

We love the suits and bowties, the gorgeous wedding party, and that cake! The white four-layer cake is topped by white and black anemones, which also pop up throughout the decor. Lush white florals alongside soft gold decor elements and terrariums keep the design theme in the limelight. It perfectly reflected Lance + Scott’s celebration of love, style, and their shared journey. Love at the Lake is a gorgeous inspiration for couples who want their vision reflected in their special day.

Victoria Harbourfront Wedding

Victoria Harbourfront Wedding

Love filled the air on a warm, sunny September afternoon as Arianna and Alastair started their journey of forever in a picturesque ceremony that captured hearts and created memories to last a lifetime. Set against the backdrop of Victoria’s bustling Inner Harbour at the Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort, their wedding day was a symphony of elegance and emotion as two families united in a celebration of love and remembrance. From the private emotional exchange of vows to the joyous celebration that followed, every moment was imbued with a sense of magic and meaning. Each detail planned by the couple was filled with thought and purpose, as both the bride and groom carried the weight of the loss of their mothers, who watched over them from the stars above.

The ceremony was held under blue sky, and guests enjoyed the perfect view of Victoria’s waterfront. Acoustic music by Steph MacPherson led the processional, which included the couple’s puppy, Scooter, and their adorable nieces and nephews. Meaningful songs hand-picked by the couple included artists such as Taylor Swift (duh), Coldplay, and Louis Armstrong. Arianna walked down the aisle with her father, radiant in her By Lillian West gown, complete with a sewn-in piece of her mother’s wedding dress. A vision of grace and strength, carrying a stunning bouquet by Thorn & Thistle, filled with pastel florals including the bride & her late mother’s favorites Roses, Dahlias, and Orchids. Tears filled their eyes as they stood at the front, facing two empty chairs adorned with flowers and photos of their mothers. By her side, Alastair, handsome and steadfast, with a piece of his mom’s favourite scarf in his pocket, held her hand, promising a lifetime of love and support.

As the sun dipped, casting a golden glow on the festivities, guests enjoyed mingling during cocktail hour on the harbor patio while the bride and groom took photos with their families. No small feat when you’ve got a large Greek & British family! Onto the reception, guests enjoyed a fabulous family-style dinner in a room filled with romantic florals and twinkling lights. Arianna and Alastair placed their head table in the center of the room so they could be surrounded by the ones they loved most. During the heartfelt speeches wrought with laughter and some embarrassing tales, guests learned just a little more about the special bond that Arianna and Alastair hold. As the couple danced, their embrace spoke volumes, a testament to the enduring power of love to heal. As the night waned and the party ramped up, they stole a moment to themselves outside, clear that this day would forever be etched in their hearts.

We love the first-look moments and all the obvious love and joy this couple had with their family and guests on their special day. Victoria Harbourfront Wedding inspires West Coast couples looking for a Victoria hotel wedding with a view!

Vancouver Club Wedding for Sadaf and Ravi

Laura Kalcsa — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 17:00:13 +0000

Vancouver Club Wedding for Sadaf and Ravi filled with gorgeous flowers and luxurious details! We love the incredible reception decor from the Persian ceremony room to the supper tables – all overflowing with pastel and white floral.

Sadaf and Ravi had both traditional and modern ceremonies and receptions – a true fusion wedding. The bride wore a sophisticated white gown featuring an intricate lace edged train and veil. The bride chose loose curls which drew attention to the intricate lace at the back of the gown and carried a bouquet of white peonies. The groom wore formal black suite and bow tie.

The venues which held the ceremonies and receptions were a vision of white, peach and gold, We loved the reception tables which featured tall white candles encased in glass with floral design in beds of eucalyptus. The wedding party sit at a table filled with white orchids and pillar candles. Gold charger plates sit in front of gold Chavira chairs and the tall tiered white wedding cake carries the theme of gold leaves and white flowers.

The Vancouver Club Wedding of Sadaf and Ravi is a sumptuous fusion wedding that is a true inspiration to West Coast Wedding couples!

You are invited to another inspirational Vancouver hotel wedding!
