This Romance Inspired Wedding Shoot at The Violet Hotel will Make You Oh-So Cozy

February 23, 2018 | juliette

This wedding inspiration shoot at The Violet Hotel proves that, when it comes to winter weddings, there’s no such thing as too cozy. The charming country venue was the perfect backdrop for Jack & Grace Events to create an intimate lakefront ceremony and an at-home, dinner party-style reception. Using moody hues, organic greenery, white florals from Dramatic Innovation, and a variety of natural textures, they created a warm yet modern feel that The Ramsdens captured with impeccable attention to detail. As with most winter weddings, we’re totally in love with the bride’s cozy style, which included a Daughters of Simone dress, vintage emerald jewelry, and luxurious fur stole.

From the event designer: Winter weddings have an understated romance, elegance, and coziness to them. There is no surprise that winter was the inspiration for our styled shoot. There is so much to enjoy and embrace. You have the holidays, snow days, warm cozy blankets, fireside cocktails, and quality time with the ones you love most.

From the event designer: When creating the concept for this shoot we knew we wanted it to emulate a sense of winter warmth. Our hope was to portray an inviting wedding dinner at your country home with your nearest and dearest. In order to achieve this we choose deep moody hues with accents of white and touches of texture. We also choose a venue that was unique and had tons of character. The Violet Hotel had so many beautiful spots to style. We definitely feel like we hit the jackpot!

Dreamy Casual Kelowna Wedding at Gatzke Orchard

February 23, 2018 | colleen

Stacie and Mark’s outdoor wedding at Gatzke Orchard had the perfect amount to whimsy to its care-free vibes. The two didn’t want anything too traditional and decided that an intimate destination was the way to go! Wanting their day to feel like a backyard summer party, they kept the celebration outside. Their decor was full of vibrant wildflowers thanks to Blue Sage Farm and framed photos from their engagement session – how sweet! And speaking of sweet, Stacie and Mark ditched the wedding cake and decided on pies thanks to the fresh fruit from the farm! Sharon Litchfield Photography joined them for their special day and photographed their fun, Summer wedding!

The Couple:

Stacie and Mark

The Wedding:

Gatzke Orchard, British Columbia, Canada

I found Jordi, my makeup artist, on Instagram. Seriously, fell in love with her our first meeting. She is incredibly talented an has the best sense of humour, I knew it was a definite match as soon as we met!

Sharon is literally one of the best humans I know. We had zero hesitation in choosing her to capture our day. It was actually the first thing we decided on! I must say I wasn’t the most organized bride. I didn’t have a check list of things that needed to be done in a certain order or photos to be taken here and there, I kind of just let her decide what would be best based on location and to make sure no one got missed. She made it so stress free and we love absolutely every one of our photos

I feel like a lot of people get wrapped up in what everyone else is doing…I think if you pick and choose things that represent your style and you as a couple you won’t look back on the day and wish you would have done something different.

Honestly, I think having a destination wedding can be difficult sometimes because you need to be prepared that not everyone will be able to make it. That said, walking down the aisle and seeing how many family and friends made the trip out for us, was really really heart warming.

We really wanted to be able to have our entire wedding outside. Once we saw the “bowery” at Gatzke Orchard we were sold. The grape vines and string lights were our favourite part of the decor.

We really wanted a relaxed, non traditional wedding. We wanted our guests to be able to show up in casual dress and feel like they were at a summer backyard party.

Naturally Stunning Texas Wedding at The Greenhouse at Driftwood

February 22, 2018 | colleen

With pops of orange and blush, Lexi and Lee’s wedding at The Greenhouse at Driftwood was as dreamy as ever. Lexi’s overgrown and organic bridal bouquet by Color Theory Collective set the tone for the rest of the wedding and carried into the ceremony space. The tables were lined with greenery table runners and wildflower-inspired blooms that added a touch of whimsy to the day’s overall vibe. We’re always fans of mismatched dresses, and Lexi’s maids in blush and floral dresses were no exception! It’s clear that Lexi and Lee’s decision on a warm color palette paired so well with the all the green tones in the greenhouse. Kindred Wedding Storytellers took the newlyweds for couple portraits around the venue and the resulting images couldn’t be more perfect.

The Couple:

Lexi and Lee

The Wedding:

The Greenhouse at Driftwood, Driftwood, Texas

It was important that our day was a thoughtful and honest reflection of us and our ten plus years together. We wanted our family and friends to feel, without a doubt, that they were at “our” wedding.

I wanted to look and feel like myself, wild curls and all.

Work with vendors you genuinely like and can connect to! We were cost conscious, but at the end of the day, we wanted a team of people that we both admired and trusted. Our litmus test seemed to be, “Would we grab a beer with him/her?”

Both of our Dad’s passed in the time we’ve been together. Coincidently, they both had old cowboy hats that each would exclusively wear when shoveling snow. (We’re both from outside Philadelphia.) We placed the hats on the end of each aisle where they would have sat.

A large number of our decorations stemmed from home projects. But none were quite as special as the several glass terrarium’s put together by my (Lexi) Mom. Each depicted a small scenery of us taking part in a favorite activity, such as hiking, skiing, kayaking, etc.

Our first dance was to “Baby” by Donnie and Joe Emerson.

The most memorable moments were the few minutes we had to simply look around, absorb the beauty of the day and the many people we are grateful to have in our lives. (AND personally, Lee‘s heart melting performance of Al Green, “Let’s Stay Together.”)
