September 4, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

Vibrant, lush greenery gave Nadine and Jeff’s Pacific Northwest-inspired Vancouver wedding a naturally rustic feel. The mismatched bridal party fashion as well as the outdoor ceremony echoed the earthy, rainforest atmosphere the couple strove for, and Focus Imaging Photography photographed the beautiful day with talent.

The Couple: Nadine and Jeff

The Wedding: Jericho Park East, Van Deusen Botanical Garden, Vancouver, BC

The Inspiration: We wanted a natural, locally inspired feel for the day. It was a rustic Coastal Pacific Northwest style inspired by the natural flora of the Vancouver area. Ferns, moss, and cedar reflected our rainforest and the vibrant green of our home.

Choosing Your Engagement Ring Style

September 3, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

If you’re searching for an engagement ring, the number of style options that exist can be overwhelming. Before you go shopping, make sure you have a general style in mind. To help you better identify which style is right for you, we have outlined 4 looks for your ring finger!
Engagement Ring Styles

 

Vintage

Vintage rings are all about paying homage to the classic lines and ornate intricacies of jewelry from generations’ past. Whether you’re interested in finding an Art Deco ring or something that screams Old Hollywood, the vintage look is always a great go-to style.

Colorful

Adding pops of sapphire, emerald, or even a rose gold band, is an easy way to give your engagement ring an oomph of personal style and flare. We are loving the use of yellow diamonds and rose gold below:

Classic

Never failing to amaze, the clean lines and simple pop and sparkle of the classic style are always sure to wow. The downside of this style, of course, is it’s popularity. However, a classic engagement ring is popular for a reason!

Sometimes different colors aren’t enough to woo your fancy. If you’re looking for an engagement ring that truly stands out, try finding an intricate band or creative setting. Creative-engagement-rings
