From Jennifer Bergman…
In Alberta, Canada, there is a very short window of time between the end of summer and the first snowfall. Our goal of this shoot was to capture the warmth of the Prairie landscape in autumn, and so we crossed our fingers that Mother Nature would cooperate and we set to work designing a Rustic Prairie tablescape that harmonized natural and artificial elements with vintage and modern flair. Radelle from Eternal Reflections Photography found a quaint fishing pond in the country located just outside of Edmonton – at first sight we knew it was a perfect fit! The table itself became our focal point for the shoot as we contemplated how to let the beautiful Alberta countryside really shine through. Glass was the obvious choice for a tabletop! Small stumps wedged between two identical glass tops created a unique double-paned effect. We decided to contrast the rustic, natural setting with acrylic ghost chairs from Special Event Rentals. The chairs also provided the modern touch that we wanted to ensure was present. The table base was a tad trickier to execute! With the help of an experienced woodsman (my husband!), we set off to our family tree farm to cut the perfect stumps to support our table.
We chose a neutral palette for the florals and focused on layers and texture to give the table incredible depth. Janine and James – the highly talented floral designers from La Piazza Dasee – filled the double-paned glass table with rustic floral elements, lace, vintage pearls and cameos. Their creativity truly came to life when designing the bride’s fan-inspired bouquet – it was fabulous! To add romance, we incorporated lace throughout many elements of the shoot. Lace trim was hand-sewn to the crisp, white napkins and we tied lace ribbon around the edible guest favors – scrumptious individual servings of bread pudding. Our favorite project involved spraying a lace pattern onto cylinder glass vases with white floral paint – the effect was phenomenal!
The true “Martha Stewart” that she is, Jenelle from PinkPolka Wedding Design added a homespun touch to many of the stationery elements. From sewing escort flags out of Prairie-inspired fabric to the matching invitation pocket, every detail was carefully considered. The day turned out to be sunny and warm (by Alberta standards) and we couldn’t be more thrilled with this collaboration of local talent. Enjoy!

I'm not a huge fan of rustic weddings but this styling is so romantic. Gorgeous tablescape and I LOVE their use of pearls.
I love the lace painted on the vases, any chance we could get a tutorial?

Wow - so so beautiful... love the neutral colour palette of it all. So many lovely details to look at!
this couple is stunning!
I was being lazy today, so I "failed" to read the intro to the images, so I just assumed this was a real wedding. When I saw the couple, however, I immediately scrolled back up to the top - I *knew* it had to be a photo shoot; nobody but models look like that!
I am crazy in love with this shoot! Like somebody said before, it's the perfect balance of feminine and masculine! I want to jump in the photos and stay a while. :)
Gorgeous! Did not know rustic glam could exist so harmoniously, and I have been showed that it can.
I LOVE this inspiration! Where is the bride's necklace from?
Claires! ;)
where did you get the dress??? I have searched it online everywhere
I am loving the Bride and Groom chairs! fantastic
