[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]We wanted to keep our wedding very clean and timeless looking, so we chose to

work with a simple color palette. We figured creams and whites would work

really well in the space, and it would be fun to incorporate pops of chartreuse in

the florals. The space felt warm and inviting and we think our color choices

played a big part in that.[/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Sparrow Lane has such a romantic feel about it; it’s elegant and elevated which is

what we wanted our wedding to be. The cobblestone pathway leading you to the

ceremony area outdoors and the massive floor to ceiling arched windows that

surround the entire reception area inside make it feel so enchanting. We felt it

was important to get married in a space that felt relaxing and very private and

our venue was exactly that. Seeing all of the vendors come together, and create

such a fanciful but modern space was a dream come true.[/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Sam proposed to me on July 29, 2023 at the Jasper Park Lodge in Alberta. That

morning, we decided to take our dog paddle boarding on Lac Beauvert. Our dog,

Frankie had never been swimming nor paddle boarding before, so we knew we

were in for a few laughs. We jumped into the freezing lake and laughed until our

stomachs ached. I had no idea he’d propose later that night because he had no

nervous energy throughout the day. As I was getting ready, he took the dog out

for a walk and called me shortly after asking if I could meet him by the same

lake… I walked over there, and that’s when he got down on one knee and popped

the question.[/field]

[section title=”The Fashion”]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]My wedding gown was from the Martina Liana Luxe line; the style was LE1270.

The designer allows you to customize anything you like, so I removed and added

a few things to make it truly one of a kind. All of the 3D floral embellishments

and tulle made me feel so special. The dress had elements of everything I had

liked in previous dresses but all in one.[/field]

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]I had a vision that all of my bridesmaids would be in something simple but still

very impactful and fashion forward. I chose the Elenora Rose Gown from

Meshki because of the 3D floral detailings. My wedding gown had 3D floral

embellishments, so I felt it just went perfectly. These white dresses had a

timeless elegance to them and tied into the monochromatic look I was going for.[/field]

[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]The groomsmen wore matching black Giorgio Fiorelli suits and the groom wore

a Casa Del Sarto double breasted suit. Everything was purchased from Mr. Derk

in Edmonton, Alberta.[/field]

[section title=”The Details”]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]• We chose to serve our meal family style to offer people the ability to enjoy both

proteins for their main course. It was also a wonderful way to promote

conversations amongst guests.

• Salad

– Mixed greens with fresh berries, gouda cheese, candied walnuts and coconut

poppyseed dressing.

• Main Courses

– Roast chicken supremes in a warm lemon vinaigrette with tzatziki and warm

potato salad.

– Ginger beef short ribs with coconut rice and garnished with sweet pickled

carrots and pea shoots.

• Sides

– Roasted seasonal vegetables with honey and thyme.

– House-baked herb bread and butter.

• Sam’s signature cocktail was a nanaimo cream cold brew – it was made with

spiced rum, nanaimo cream, cold brew coffee, sweetener, and bitters. Cassidy’s

signature cocktail was a berry coconut mojito – it was made with strawberry and

blueberry vodka, coconut syrup, berries, soda, mint and lime.

• We had a dessert bar for our guests. We offered blondies, brownies, french

macarons, and cupcakes.[/field]

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]For the floral design, we wanted to keep everything very elegant in a white and

green palette, but took a unique approach to the classic by leaning into the

textures and tones of the blooms themselves with an emphasis on green blooms

rather than foliage. The florals were soft, romantic and elevated brining the room

to life in a subtle but impactful way. For maximum sustainability, we also

repurposed all of the ceremony arrangements in the reception space in a way

where everything had intention and felt like it belonged.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]We went with a classic vintage cake design with buttercream piping and frills.

The cake was red velvet; it had high quality red cocoa powder and it was layered

with vanilla bean cream cheese buttercream and vanilla swiss buttercream. The

cake was very small, and only meant to serve my husband and I.[/field]

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]All of our signs and wedding stationery was created by Makari Design Co. We

wanted to keep everything well-balanced and symmetrical, so we chose to have

arched signs and stationery items to match the windows at Sparrow Lane.[/field]
