Ontario Wedding on the Vineyard
If ever there was an equal but opposite beauty to our last wedding, this would be it. Sent to us by the incredibly talented photography duo Sam and Mary, this wedding is all about the pretty. Simple, sweet, totally approachable pretty. And it is hands down one of the easiest weddings to fall in love with I’ve ever seen. Just a heads up, that although we have a BIG spread for you below, we’ve also added even more photos to the gallery so it’s a full on pretty fest.
Rolling hills and sprawling vineyards, the perfect backdrop for one of our fave fall weddings from 2009. Joanne and Lawrence tied the knot and celebrated with friends and family under the stars at the Ravine Winery Estates. The entire wedding was planned long distance with the help of a few friends and the talents of local vendors. Lawrence was in Dallas, Texas while his fiancee, Joanne was in Singapore. They wanted an outdoor, eclectic and yet cozy feel for their wedding and were set on having a vineyard as the background.
Joanne and her bridesmaids got ready at the elegant and stately White Oaks Resort and Spa, while the fellows dressed in their tailored suits at a local, but quaint bed and breakfast. Transportation for the day was provided by a retro vintage white schoolbus decorated with tin cans and ribbons.
The reception was held at the Ravine Vineyard Winery Estates under white canopy tents provided by Robson Tents. The meal prepared by celebrity chef, Anna Olson (food network) and her team was exquisite and featured only local foods harvested from orchards and farms in the region. Slippers and throw blankets were supplied by the couple so that guests could cozy up as the sun went down and the air grew crisp.

Beautiful wedding and a beautiful destination. That was practically in my backyard growing up in my native Hamilton,Ontario Canada.
The whole Niagara region is like Ontario's NAPA, California and "Ice Wine" is a specialty-so sweet to celebrate a wedding too.
I love the casual feel to the decor... the bride's dress is sweet as well!
I love her table decor and use of flowers! Saves money on larger arrangements, too. So sweet.
I love your veil! Where do you find it?
Absolutely beautiful! Where did you rent the vintage white school bus?
Yes - same question. Where is the white school bus rented from?
I know you see them a lot these days, but I still think the photos with the sparklers are cool. Very nice wedding overall :)
So glad to see this wedding featured! Love how you captured all the details and the love of the couple.
Wow, I love all the different flowers! Everything looks so fresh and beautiful... makes me want to move away from this Michigan winter pronto! ;)
Oh my goodness! Too many things to list that are incredibly perfect! I absolutely adore all of the mason jars with bouquets... obsessed with the vintage white school bus... love the sparkler picture!
great pictures and such a cute couple!
Ok---those flowers in the jars, I am ready to create right now! The lighting is incredible. Absolutely dreamy and inspiring and thank you so much for sharing--love it. Bravo.
That green chair is such a perfect colour! Love the sparklers and the lisianthus too. Her sweetheart neckline is so pretty!
Hi there,
Kate - The veil was loaned from the same shop I had the dress custom-made in Singapore.
Twanna & Candice - The white school bus was rented from First Student Canada. It also came with a very friendly bus driver, who chauffeured us and honked along the way to make sure everyone knew we were coming.
Anyone know who the designer of this dress is.... I LOVE IT!
Tracey: It must have been awesome to have grown up with this destination as your backyard. Niagara is so pretty...
We love Joanne and Lawrence's style and taste for their wedding! Thanks, all for sharing in this beautiful vineyard wedding. Thank you, Abby, for featuring this wedding!
Tarryn, there's a similar dress designed by somebody in the Priscilla of Boston group. I tried it on, and it's very fun!
Thanks Joanne for that info on the bus!!!
This is one of the best place to spend special occasions. perfect for those who wanted to do weddings the unconventional way.
Where did you find that pink shoes?
Regards
Hein
