Glamorous Winter Wedding at the Millennium Centre

February 24, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Glamorous-Millenium-Centre-Wedding-Modern-Pixel (15 of 35)

Unexpected wedding venues are at the top of our list of favorite things, making Ailish and Ryan’s glamorous winter wedding an absolute winner with two timeless venue choices. The day began at Gurevich Fine Art for an intimate ceremony among the artwork, followed by a classy reception at Millennium Centre. The winter fashion choices are incredibly chic, including fur stoles for the ladies, deep blue ties for the men, and bright red poppies adorned on the entire wedding party. Modern Pixel Photography brilliantly took the parking garage for the wedding party portraits from common urban landscape to gritty glamorous backdrop, capturing sweet moments between the soon-to-be husband and wife before they said “I do!”

The Couple:

Ailish and Ryan

The Wedding:

Millennium Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba

The Inspiration:

Simple, rustic and elegant. The venue where we had the wedding is an old bank building so it has all this beautiful marble and brass. We wanted to really stick with that so we kept the wedding decorations very simple and I went with a lace wedding dress and bird cage veil because it really fit the timeless nature of the venue.

The Moments:

The whole day was amazing from start to finish. I’d heard so many people say they were so stressed out on their wedding day because they were worried something would go wrong. We had the opposite feeling. (Probably because we had such awesome people helping us out!) We had so much fun. I think if we had to pick a favorite moment, it would have been the moment right after the ceremony, when we got to go out and greet our friends and family and toast the day. It was so nice seeing all the people you love come together.

Classic and Fashionable Wedding in Milan

February 24, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

DSV_140913-2626

As if we would expect anything less from a wedding in Milan, Hanie and Andrea’s wedding was exceptionally chic. The fashionable wedding began with a civil ceremony at Palazzo Reale, followed by a romantic jaunt through the city square captured by DS Visuals Weddings. Hanie’s 1960’s inspired bridal style came together with a uniquely gorgeous Atelier via Donizetti gown with subtle ivory polka dots, a sweet pair of Ferragamo pumps, and a delicate floral crown.

The Couple:

Hanie and Andrea

The Wedding:

Palazzo Reale, Milan, Italy

The Inspiration:

From the beginning, we were very straightforward: we wanted our wedding to be classy, elegant and romantic. We didn’t want to have a theme coloured wedding decoration, but the cream, ivory seemed most elegant and appropriate for a classy wedding. We chose a peach ribbon for our wedding invitation and dinner menu, and added some peach flowers to center pieces. We think a pinch of peach colour added much romance to the wedding reception.

Our outfits were also in line with this overall wedding concept. My dress is very much like Audrey Hepburn – simple but elegant. It’s from Atelier via Donizetti, an independent Atelier in Varese, near Milan. I loved the dot pattern and the bow on the waist line. I finished my 60’s inspired look with a pair of cream Ferragamo shoes. Andrea wore a slim fit dark navy Zegna suit, with a baby blue woven silk tie.

The Moments:

Every moment. But in particular, our first dance with Frank Sinatra’s Come Fly with Me. It was the peak of our romantic Italian wedding. We took three dance classes for it, it was such a great memory. Our three year old niece thought we were a true prince and princess after the first dance!
