The Inspiration: Choosing our venue was an easy task. Kristian’s Aunt Marlene runs many events at the Roebuck Community Centre and we knew we could trust her to make sure our day was extra special. For our ceremony, we wanted to do something a little different, so we got married on the baseball diamond! Both being ball players, we loved that our ceremony was so personalized for us.
I knew I wanted to feel like a princess on my wedding day, so I went with a very elegant and romantic theme: lots of silver, white, crystals, with hints of blush pink and greenery. Flowers were a big deal for me, and luckily Kristian’s Aunt Marilyn (Yes, another aunt…there are 5!) who owns Colonial Flowers helped make our vision come to life! Our arrangements were stunning and included some of my favourite flowers; peonies, roses and ranunculus.
Moments to Remember: Anyone who knows me, knows I am terrible at keeping surprises a secret, especially when I’m excited! However, I wanted my friends and family to be surprised when they saw my wedding dress. Other than my Mom and Aunts, no one else knew what my dress looked like until my wedding day. I had planned on doing a first look with my bridesmaids, but then I had the pleasant surprise of my Dad showing up to pick up his boutonniere. We decided to do a first look with my Dad too. It was a very emotional moment for both of us, and our wonderful photographer Mariah captured this special memory perfectly.
Alexa's Advice: My advice for future brides planning their weddings is to remember that it’s YOUR special day! Zero in on 3-5 things that are the most important to you and your partner, whether that’s the food, flowers, venue, dress etc… and don’t compromise on those things. Make sure it’s exactly what you want and plan your budget accordingly. Don’t get too caught up with the little details that aren’t a high priority. Relax, have fun and savour each moment because the day flies by!
