  • It’s a very different Pride this year but we’re still celebrating! We kicked off the weekend with a backyard Pride party and stopped by the @polygongallery today to see the @frankieandcoshop installation. We’re proud to be raising kids who will grow up knowing that they can be who they want to be and love who they want to love. Love for all, Happy Pride everyone 🌈 📷 @joelsview

  • Our amazing, talented, charismatic, hilarious and beautiful planner, Tori, married her love Brendon last Saturday. After being forced to postpone their wedding three times, T+B decided to do a major pivot and get married in 2020 after all. In just over four weeks Tori replanned their wedding to take place in her parents (gorgeous) backyard, sourced vendors in Kelowna, crafted her heart out and created a wedding that perfectly celebrated their love. Congrats to Tori, Brendon and Lola xoxo 📷 @danikaleephotography

  • TWO more sleeps until our @toriblairmacdonald gets married and we can hardly wait. As you may know, Tori is an interior designer so her eye for colour, style and detail is next level. Tori has been working away on projects for her wedding for months and this backdrop by @shopfacingthesunshine served as major inspo so we know the details are going to be good 👌🏼 Via @junebugweddings 📷 @zachandrosalie

  • We have a long-standing relationship with @bespokedecor - Ashton came into our lives six years ago and it was love at first meeting 🤍 - and yet, the creativity of their team never ceases to amaze us! We’re borderline obsessed with Bespoke’s “Pop Up in the City” and the amazing ideas they’ve presented for micro weddings at some of our favourite venues. We love that Bespoke has come up with something so positive at a time like this and we cannot wait to plan micro weddings with them irl. Kudos team @bespokedecor, we love you guys.

  • Without our regular weekend wedding schedule to keep us accountable we’ve officially lost track of time 🙃 I thought it was Monday all day which means we’re actually a day late celebrating this lovely duo on their first anniversary 🤍 A + R, your wedding was beautiful, meaningful, filled with connection and planning with you was a highlight of 2019. Lots of love to you both (and Totoro!) 📷 @shariandmike

  • One final office selfie before we handed over the keys last night. It was a tough decision to give up our office space but if the past four months have shown us anything it’s that you must adapt and we just aren’t using the space like we used to. We’re thankful for our time in this space, for every single couple we’ve had the privilege to meet here since 2016, for the wedding plans we got to make, the brilliant ideas we hatched and the many memories created. Cheers to you #smittenhq 🥂

  • At a time when it’s hard to gather we’ve come together in so many different ways. People reconnecting over Zoom or the phone, couples marrying in the presence of their immediate family instead of 200 guests as planned, neighbours getting to know each other better over distanced happy hours in front yards, groups taking to the streets to protest for Black lives. This time has given the word gather so much more meaning 💛 📷 @aileenchoiphoto

  • We spent the last week listening and learning and wanted to share a personal story. On Friday, Ethan and I joined my cousin and her young family for a peaceful Black Lives Matter march through Edgemont Village. We made signs with our kids that were greeted by many forms of support, from honks and waves to thumbs up and smiles of gratitude. Our protest was peaceful, polite and powerful. I was very proud of our children and I hope they will look back on this day and remember the impact they made. While coming to the end of our peaceful march, it happened. A car stopped and reversed back to where we were standing. Then, a racist man shouted, “white lives matter” and “white power” before driving off. My cousin and best friend is an amazing, strong, proud Black woman. Standing there next to her on Friday, as I have for my entire life, I was at a loss for words. To witness this hate towards someone I love so much lit a fire inside me. This is not okay. Racism exists in our own back yard and what are we going to do about it? I will forever stand beside my cousins, my Black family and the Black community to support, listen, learn and change. “Your voice can inspire, heal, and transform. Your voice can change the world. Are you ready to say something?” - from the book, Say Something, by Peter Hamilton Reynolds

On their first anniversary in 2021 they will have a big celebration with their friends and family. They now get to celebrate their marriage twice and this is a silver lining.

  • May long weekend last year was one of our busiest of the season. We had three major weddings with three incredible couples, two at one of our favourite Vancouver venues, @thepolygonvenue, and another at our Okanagan favourite, @50thparallelwine. We kicked the weekend off with the coolest duo, S+J. We’re still obsessed with how their unique, artsy, modern wedding turned out and we’d give anything to rewind to this day. A heartfelt ceremony, gorgeous florals, custom mezcal cocktails, a @beta5chocolates cream puff dessert bar and a stellar salsa band, it was a perfect day for a special couple. 📷 @thegodards

Instead, like so many of our couples, they’ve dealt with the devastation and coordination that goes into postponing a wedding. As the current situation has evolved they’ve had to change their wedding date twice and their wedding venue, @theellisbuilding, had a fire. BUT love prevails! May 9th will still be a special day as T+B spend the day together, pick up tacos for dinner and virtually toast the day with family and friends. Happy original wedding day you two, we can hardly wait to pull out all the stops for you next year! 📷 @thewildheartscollective
