OUR WEDDING DAY: THE CEREMONY

David and I choose to get married in the city where we met, fell in love, and will continue our life together. We decided on the most gorgeous location in the heart of Victoria the Fairmont Empress. We had the most beautiful intimate ceremony in the “Library” of the Empress overlooking the inner harbour surrounded by 20 of our closest family members. We wanted the people who had the most impact on our relationship in the past 3.5 years to celebrate our commitment and love.

The Library of the Empress is stunning. It is full of the most beautiful wood, ornate gold ceiling, chandeliers, book shelves and a large fireplace to warm the space. I knew I wanted to make the space as bright as possible. My vision was white and cream garden like flowers, with added touches of blush and greenery. I worked closely with Vanessa of Verbena Floral Design and the dream gals of Thorn & Thistle to bring my vision to life. They absolutely blew us away with the final product. I could have not dreamt of a more beautiful space to exchange our vows. We also had a local violinist Tatiana Kostour playing as guests arrived, while we walked down the aisle, and through out the ceremony. It was just the added touch we needed.

David and I wanted a welcome sign for our guests but one we could hang in our home. We asked Melanie from Decor By Nature to design a custom sign for us. It was beyond perfect!
