The Inspiration: Our venue is what inspired our vision. We got married at the colonnade golf and country club, in the newly renovated hayloft barn. It had such a romantic, slightly rustic, and minimalist feel. As soon as we saw the venue in person, we were sold. We made the decision right then and there. We knew that was it, we couldn’t of pictured getting married anywhere else. Lots of dark wood, grey tin walls, and big white barn doors as the back drop. I’ve never been one for colour, and anyone that knows me, knows that I love my neutrals and my whites. So it wasn’t surprising when I decided I wanted my bridesmaids in white with me too. I loved that my beautiful wedding gown from Loverbird Bridal was white lace with a dark ivory underlay. It still made me stand out ever so slightly from my bridesmaids. When it came to flowers for myself, the bridesmaids, and the venue, I wanted lots of whites, and a whole lot of greenery. Martha from Inbloom created the most beautiful greenery garlands and bouquets. We are so happy we chose her, she made our wedding vision come through!
Moments to Remember: My husband and I decided on a first look before our ceremony, and I am SO happy we chose to do that. That was definitely one of my favourite moments of our day. We were both so nervous, and it really eased the both of us. Our venue had the most beautiful willow trees on their grounds (I am a sucker for willow trees!) and of course that is where we chose to do our first look. It was such an amazing feeling to see my handsome husband, in his tux, on our wedding day, before anyone else could see us in our ceremony. The smiles, the hugs, the kisses we shared before the ceremony was 100% worth it.
Linda and Shawn's advice: My advice to future brides planning their weddings is to enjoy it as much as you can, while you can. It gets stressful at times but when your big day finally arrives, it’s the most surreal feeling to see all your hard-work, planning and vision all come together at once. There was a small amount of time during dinner that I kept worrying about whether or not guests were enjoying themselves or not. I’ve always been the one to care about others first before my self. Luckily my maid of honour reminded me that it was our day, so my advice is this: as long as you’re happy with your day, that is all that matters. Our guests had an amazing time, and I was really just overthinking everything lol. Our day went by SO fast as anticipated, and I’m already wanting to relive our wedding day all over again. It was seriously the most beautiful day and I wouldn’t change anything if we were to do it all over!
