An antique glasshouse and veiled beauty! We are so thrilled to showcase this Hatley Castle wedding editorial locally, which inspires those who love historical elegance. The glasshouse hales from over a hundred years ago and was restored through an endowment to Hatley Castle. In the past, no grand estate was without a glasshouse. They housed tropical plants meant to provide a warm sanctuary during winter weather. Hatley Castle gave permission for this wonderful historical greenhouse to be the backdrop for this lovely Vancouver Island wedding editorial.

We especially love the botanically inspired stationery that complements the deep-toned florals and greenhouse greenery. The décor features rich autumn tones and nonconventional elements within a historical venue. The ethereal setting is paired with modern geometric shapes to create an original atmosphere. Geometric shapes are a big trend for weddings—the metallic shades work with any colour you may choose.

The lovely veil adds to our bride’s slightly mysterious feel. The gown features a cut-out in the bodice along with peek-a-boo lace around the shoulders. Our favorite is the headpiece that duplicates the geometric shapes seen in the décor!  

Historical Venues (like a glasshouse!!)

Are you looking to recreate this look for your photos? Start looking around for older buildings, heritage homes, or perhaps a conservatory/atrium in your area. Unique venues are often found in museums and theaters. Hatley Castle books photography sessions – see here for more info. Private homes may also be willing to book wedding photography sessions if you ask very nicely!

Watercolour Fiesta Wedding Inspiration 

It’s lovely to see such bright festive colors in this wedding editorial, wonderfully captured by photographer Julie Jagt. Creative design by the talented Sublime Celebrations. The Watercolour Fiesta theme showed the eclectic palette amidst the perfect restaurant setting. A Vancouver Island elopement colorful inspiration for any couple who likes to have fun together!

Popsicles

The special touches throughout are everything you could ask for at a Latino-themed fiesta wedding. The Popsicle display of artfully placed fruit, vibrant cake, and handwritten signs make for an unforgettable Mexican nuptial experience.

We love the drink caddy filled with colorful fruit, flowers, and liquor. Who wouldn’t love to be a guest at this wedding? Of course, tequila is showcased, but we think we would be just as excited to have a popsicle! 

Don’t forget to look at all the incredible people who made this beautiful shoot happen! A true Vancouver Island wedding extravaganza.
