It's the kind of place where rustic, DIY weddings flourish and this beautiful day captured by FS Photography is a shining example. It's breathtaking scenery meets crafty details meets yummy baked goods. Don't miss a minute...

Rustic weddings in the mountains of British Columbia are, hands down, one of the most amazing ways to say "I do."

It's nature meets awesome all captured by Tomasz Wagner. See it all...

Though I've done my share of entertaining in the past, I like to turn to the experts when it comes down to executing each event without a hitch. Experts like Ngoc, who is the definition of the hostess with the mostess (and has a book to prove it!)
