{DIY Bohemian Wedding} Violaine & Gaetan

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Have I got a feast for your wedding-loving eyes!  This charming wedding is full of one delightful surprise after another- an original First Look, a tiny owl (yes, an owl!!!) ring bearer, a beautiful teepee ceremony, and much, much more.  Bonnallie Brodeur shows us the beauty:

Violaine & Gaetan got married on July 27 in Quebec, Canada at Haut Bois Normand.  The cozy sugar shack is located on a 10,000-tree maple bush situated on mountainous land, just perfect for the nature-loving couple.  They adore animals & color too, both of which were infused into their unique wedding.

The wedding day started with a cool First Look by the lake.  The Bride, wearing a flowing white wedding gown & sweet floral crown, waited for her Groom on a wooden dock.  Leaving from the opposite shore, the Groom rowed his way over to her in a red canoe flying a pirate flag.  The anticipation built as they spied each other across the water.  When they triumphantly met on the dock, they sealed the moment with a kiss!

The outdoor ceremony took place in a green clearing, marked by a lovely white teepee & bright rainbow tassels.  A little owl with bright yellow eyes was perched on the Groom's hand throughout the ceremony, where he adorably guarded the wedding rings.  Surrounded by their family & friends seated on simple wooden benches, the Bride & Groom became husband & wife during an emotional ceremony.  

A great party followed at a warm, welcoming reception.  The rustic space was decorated with family wedding photos, white cafe lights, and long, wooden tables decorated with clusters of flowers, feather place settings & tiny animal figurines.  The delicious dinner was served family-style with generous sides of good conversation & merry laughter.  What a tremendous wedding!  

My Favorite Moment:  The lakeside First Look complete with a pirate canoe & weathered dock.  SO fun!

My Favorite Detail:  It was very, very hard to choose, but how could I resist picking that cute owl ring bearer?

Congratulations, Violaine & Gaetan!

{Bohemian Rustic British Columbia Wedding} Carley & Dan

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

A little bohemian & a little rustic- what's not to love about this wedding?  I'm particularly loving the Bride rocking a sweet floral crown & the bridesmaids showing neutral done right.  Not to mention pretty incredible scenery.  & so much, much more to admire.  Love Out Loud Studios shows us the beauty:

Carley & Dan were married on September 28 in British Columbia, Canada.  Although it rained on their autumn wedding day, they didn't let a few rain drops dampen their spirits or their celebration.  They chose a gorgeous location for their wedding & accented the natural beauty with generous amounts of lavender & burlap, seen everywhere from the bouquets to the centerpieces.  The sweet ceremony took place on a rustic porch, decorated with bunting & surrounded by nature.  Afterwards, the new Mr. & Mrs. took advantage of a break in the rain & stole a few moments outside.  The laid-back Bride didn't even care if her dress got a bit muddy!  Dinner, dancing & general merriment followed with their beloved family & friends.  Oh what a lovely wedding!  

My Favorite Moment:  The glowing Bride & Groom making their way past their clapping bridal party.

My Favorite Detail:  It was a tough decision but my favorite details are the lavender bridesmaid bouquets later repurposed as wedding centerpieces.  

Congratulations, Carley & Dan!
