A little while after I "unofficially" launched my wedding planning business in 2017 (after being in the industry for 10+ years), I met Sandra through a sale on Facebook Marketplace. We got to chatting, and she shared about her upcoming wedding plus her struggle to find a month-of coordinator ... and we instantly connected over the absolute kismet that led us to meet! Working together in the months leading up to the wedding was a truly creative experience. I especially loved helping her curate the perfect timeline, and pull together all the pieces of the DIY decor that she envisioned. And when it all came together, it was truly a dreamy day that we will never forget.
Keep reading for all the thoughtful & lovely details that went into planning and executing this fun-filled wedding!
After getting ready with their bridesmaids and groomsmen, the stunning couple opted for a high-altitude first look overlooking the Red Deer Valley. And it did not disappoint! What made it even more special was involving their adorable pup Koda, in their first look, all of their photos, and of course, during the beautiful hillside wedding ceremony! We even made sure to have pup treats and a bowl of water ready for him after he did an amazing job as Best Boy. (And a special shoutout to the bride, who is a professional HMUA with Smak Studios and did her own hair and makeup for her wedding day!)
After an outdoor ceremony that was filled with so much love, it was time to head inside for the dinner reception ... and of course, the party (which lasted well into night)! Guests walked into the elaborated decorated ski lodge which embodied boho glam vibe right down to the very last details. We set the sweetheart table as a focal point in front of the fireplace, and adored it with a romantic tulle linen, dozen of glowing pillar candles and the repurposed floral arrangement from the altar to complete the look. While guest tables featured gold chargers, gold chiavari chairs, even more pillar candles, and custom-cut gold name cards.
From the very first speeches, to the very last dance, this wedding was an absolute blast for the couple and all their guests. While tearing down the elaborate decor into the wee hours of the night, I couldn't help but reflect how grateful I am to be a part of so many amazing love stories like Sandra & Brandon's.
"If there was one memorable experience from any of my wedding vendors, hands down it would be our wedding coordinator, Hannah. She not only met my expectations and requests but surpassed them beyond belief. No detail was missed, no matter how small. She ensured my wedding day was completely stress free and I can’t imagine our big day without her.” - Sandra & Brandon, August 2019
