Wedding planner Calgary, personal post: Mexico wedding

By admin | Published January 30, 2012

Hola!

If you noticed my absence last week on the Internet, it was because I was in sunny Huatulco, Mexico! Good friends of mine had the uncanny foresight to schedule their destination wedding during the coldest week in Calgary, and while everyone back home was bundling up and warming up their cars, we were sunning ourselves and playing beach volleyball, enjoying the 30+ degree weather (plus, the yummiest coconut ice cream ever).

As a guest at this wedding, it was really nice to sit back and let others handle the wedding details. But as it is often hard for me to completely turn off the wedding coordinating ways even if it isn’t a client’s wedding, I found myself offering my help in any way…even if it was simply taking some photos and helping a good friend lace up and bustle her wedding dress.

Here are a few photos from this awesome vacation for you to enjoy while I catch up on things after this much-needed vacation!

The colours in the tropical bouquets were so vivid and delicious!

Schultzes, it was an honour to be part of your wedding and a blast to soak up the sun and surf with you and your families. How do you feel about a vow renewal next year?

By admin | Published December 31, 2011

Can you believe it’s New Year’s Eve already? I certainly can’t! I feel like all of December just disappeared.

To close off 2011, here’s a gorgeous New Year’s Eve wedding photo I found on Hostess with the Mostess — this wedding made their Top 5 posts from 2011.

Calgary dessert table design: Holiday sweet table

By admin | Published December 19, 2011

As Christmas Day quickly approaches and the city of Calgary is in a hustle and bustle preparing for the Holiday season, what better way is there to celebrate than with a Holiday dessert table for an intimate get-together with friends?

Sticking to the classic Holiday red, white and green colours, this Holiday sweets table I created features all of the popular treats perfect for a cozy celebration while the weather outside is frightful:

- DIY s’mores on a stick
- snowflake spicy gingerbread cookies
- classic, round peppermints and chocolate balls
- rich, hot chocolate with a peppermint candy cane twist.

I just love these DIY s’mores on a stick! I’ll be posting the super easy how-to instructions on making your own s’mores on a stick later this week, just in time for your Holiday parties.

This design was perfect for a Holiday party, but these ideas are easily transferable to a beautiful, white Winter wedding. Imagine treating your guests to a fun hot chocolate bar with all of the favourite fixings and topping it all off with a fun, unique take on s’mores!

I hope you enjoyed these photos — all the best to those of you who are trying to finish their Christmas shopping!
