I spy with my little eye one of the most out-of-this-world amazing rustic weddings ever. We’ve seen DIY rustic, rustic elegance and rustic rustic and we love each and every one of them but we haven’t seen rustic glam quite like this. You may want to start taking notes because there are loads of goodies to the fill the pages of your inspiration binder. Divine Weddings & Events certainly lives up to its name with the plethora of pretty that they brought to the table of this Winnipeg wedding. Sugar and Soul Photography captured all the exquisite details and made a little magic happen with their dreamy images too! See them all in the full gallery!

From Tammy of Divine Weddings & Events… Danielle Lawson and Jon Margolis were married on October 23rd, 2011 at The Gates on Roblin in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They had a traditional Jewish ceremony on the grounds, followed by the dinner and reception in The Gates ballroom. The decor was designed with a rustic glam theme using burlap, lace, and rhinestones. The ceremony was ‘in the round’ so that they would be surrounded by the love of their family and friends. After the ceremony guests enjoyed Red and White Wine Sangria. A late night sweet table was set with cupcakes, old fashion candies, and wedding cake. Guests danced the night away to the Danny Kramer Event Band and enjoyed snacks from the late night hotdog cart.

My favorite weddings are those infused with the couple’s own unique personalities. When you can see their style and love shining out of the images through quirky, handmade details and personal touches you know that it must have been an amazing, memorable day. One of those weddings where all the guests exclaimed “Oh, this is SO them!”. That must have been the case with this darling DIY affair coordinated by Madeline’s Weddings & Events and captured by Blue Bird Creative. The simple, rustic backdrop is perfect for all the unique, colorful details that this cutie couple incorporated. See them all in the full gallery!

From Madeline of Madeline’s Weddings and Events… We adored these two as soon as they walked into our office. Both of them were really hands on for their entire planning process. Their wedding ceremony and reception took place at a little gem just outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba – The Hitch n’ Post. This venue is known for their rustic landscape and delicious cuisine.
Right from the start Leah wanted to make sure her theme and style were carried out throughout the wedding and we did just that. The ceremony took place in the later morning and the reception was a fantastic luncheon reception for the couple and all their guests.
The main colours of their wedding were baby pink, robin’s egg blue and white. Leah and Travis chose to have white organza overlays for the guests with baby pink napkins. For the head table, we had floor length white satin linens, with swooped white organza in the front. The head table also had candles, glassware, spotlighting and rose petals.
We had set up a picture table full of fabulous framed images of the couples families throughout the years. For this table we used a blue floor length pinched linen. The candy table, which the couple used as favours was a hit with all the guests – everything of course matching their colours!
The bride Leah, was the DIY Queen and we just loved every minute of working with her. Her DIY projects:
* Her centerpieces were thin round logs that Travis’ Dad cut for them. Then old mason jars with homemade pinwheels in them, all different colours and designs that match the theme.
* Their table numbers were also hand carved from wood and stained dark then glued on to little white circles from aluminum cans.
* They made triangle flag banners to hang on the fence for the ceremony.
* They also made a ‘Thank You’ banner to use for their thank you cards.
* Little yarn ball flowers were placed on the program table and registry signing table.
* There were big KRAFT paper wheels hung behind the head table which were really neat.
* She also made blue tissue paper pom poms that we hung from the rafters.
* She also painted LOVE letters pink and a base blue to put on the love table.

From the Bride…We both grew up in the country, so we knew we wanted a country, homey, fresh feel. I scoured wedding blogs (a lot of time spent on SMP!) gradually building up the vision I wanted – DIY, soft pinks, greens, tans, white, with a country, antique vibe. We had just over a year to plan, however, when our original location (Lundar) was affected by flooding, we had 3 weeks to find a new reception venue, ceremony location, hairdressers, and accommodations for our guests (the vast majority being from out of town). While the last-minute re-planning was pretty stressful, we were able to find new vendors, and everything went off without a hitch!
The bridesmaid style was a continuation of the entire vibe of the whole wedding. I gave them a pink swatch and told them to find a dress they liked in that color, and that was old-fashion, vintage-y. I told them they could do their hair, shoes, jewelry however they wanted. Groom and groomsmen styles were classic, but sharp. They all wore the same pant, then were asked to wear a white collared shirt and a tie with a bit of pink in it.
For the ceremony, our mothers read traditional bible verse readings. Matt’s cousin played the guitar during the signing of the registry. I carried my mom’s bride bible (which she also carried on her wedding day), along with my bouquet, as I walked down the aisle. My 2 brothers were the ushers. My dad walked me down the aisle to Glasgow Love Theme from the Love Actually soundtrack. Our wedding party walked to Calico Skies by Paul McCartney, and our recessional song was Send Me on My Way by Rusted Root.
My friend and hockey teammate from the University of North Dakota who now works at a floral shop, did all of the flowers. She also made all the hairpieces (including mine), the pew markers, and other little details at the reception venue, like hanging ivy and fabric here & there, and hanging doilies above the dance floor. She drove from Edmonton (13 hours one-way) with all the flowers and materials in the back of her truck, and assembled them all in the conference room of the hotel she was staying at (with the a/c cranked up!) Because she knows me so well, she knew exactly what I wanted, even if my descriptions of what I wanted weren’t very good!
We had a lounge inside our reception tent with a cushioned chair from my parents’ house, benches made by my brother, chairs from my parents’ house, a floor mat anchored the space, as well. We also brought in a wine barrel and a small step ladder for the lounge that served as places to set drinks. My mom and her friend bought 6 hanging flower planters which accented the tent. Our old-fashioned vibe really came to life at our tables: the head table had various old lanterns, glass pitchers, glass wine jugs, various antique plates for each person at the head table, place settings with flowy backgrounds, and wine. The guest tables all had a lantern and candles. Matt and I made the table numbers on our printer at home. Matt also made the glued together collections of antique bottles (that he found at his farm) that served as vases. Each table also had a bottle of red and white wine with labels that I had made from our engagement photos. Our appetizer/dessert table had a collection of stacked antique tins, a watering can that doubled as a vase, mason jar vases, and food labels made by me. Instead of a traditional guestbook, I made up a fill-in-the-blanks page for guests to complete as they arrived to the reception. My 2 cousins (who were in charge of the guestbook) took a photo of every guest (and their date, if applicable) in front of a quilt. The quilt was made by my mom and was a wedding gift to us. We printed those photos and put them on the spot we’d set aside on the corresponding guestbook page.
Loved every minute of it, and am loving married life!
