Sarah & Ryan

Since I am recently back in the game, it's time to update on what's been going on in my wedding planning world in the last year and a half!  Even though I was not officially "planning" during that time, I was fortunate enough to be involved and assist with two beautiful weddings.

The first wedding was that of my best friend Sarah and her, now husband, Ryan.

  

 Sarah and Ryan were married on June 15th, 2013.  It was such a great day for a wedding.  Being in their wedding party was an added bonus of course!  The couple held their ceremony and reception at The Pines in KW.  It was a beautiful venue for a wedding.  The lower level was used for the ceremony as well as housed the bar and the dance floor.  

The upper level was the perfect setting for the dinner set up.  Sarah and Ryan used Kim Rasokas of The Creative Bride for their decorations and their wedding flowers.  As always, both were amazing!
The girls bouquets were perfect, and Sarah's bridal bouquet was stunning!

Kim handled the decor for the dinner tables.  Centre pieces were exactly as Sarah pictured they would be!  Kim is a very talented decorator and florist!
 

 

Prior to the ceremony the couple decided to have a Grand Reveal. 

 

This is something a lot of engaged couples are planning.  The reveal happens first.  Then the couple and their bridal party do their pictures and THEN onto the ceremony.  Taking picture before the wedding ceremony actually removes some of the pressure and tight time lines that are present when trying to coodinate timing for the day.  Once the pictures were taken at various locations in KW, it was onto getting hitched!  The guests enjoyed some music and drinks after the ceremony while some family photos were shot.  From there dinner, speeches and a fantastic dance finished off their day.

Sarah and Ryan are now expecting their first baby in January 2015!  We are all so very excited to meet Baby D and wish you all the best in the next stage of your lives together.  Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your planning and coordinating.  But most importantly, for allowing me to stand beside you as you both vowed to love one another for the rest of your lives.  Love you both.

 

Time has flown by so very quickly......

I look back and wonder where the last two years went.  I've had the great pleasure of contracting out my wedding coordination services in the last few months and it has renewed my passion for event planning.  I had forgotten how much I LOVE helping brides and grooms plan and execute their special day!  As such, I am back in the saddle and would love to keep the momentum going.


I have recently assisted The Creative Bride with 3 beautiful and uniquie weddings, with 2 left go to on the schedule.  I am very much looking foward to the next two weddings and cannot wait to see what wonderful ideas and plans the couples have created for their wedding day.


If you or someone you know is planning their upcoming wedding, please feel free to pass my name and contact information along to them.  In terms of event planners, my fees are very reasonable and will fit into most budgets.  The comfort in knowing you have someone handling all the details of your day is priceless and something you wouldn't regret!
