I hope you all had a great Christmas! It flew by WAY too quickly don’t you think? Well, it’s back to weddings for the next couple days before New Years and I have a great one to share with you today.

This will be the last real wedding until my mini xmas break and it’s a goodie…jam-packed with color, florals and absolute GLAM. Hindu weddings are such a treat to share even though I haven’t yet seen one in person. But by looking at these photos from Tomasz Wagner | Mananetwork , they’re absolutely stunning. And while normally Hindu weddings span over 2 days for 2 ceremonies, Mario and Suman decided to do them both in one day. I love how Tomasz describes the wedding in his email – “Italian stud marrying a Hindu beauty.” Indeed!

I’m pretty sure most of you will swoon over this next wedding sent over to us by Lindsay Skeans Photography . If you have a heart, you love things pretty and you’re looking for inspiration, you’ll find it hard to resist. In fact, you might just stare at each image just to soak in all the details. The bride, Julien is the brains behind Thimble Design, teaming up with Fairy Godmother Weddings for this outdoor wedding at UBC Farm. Some details that you can’t help but notice and love are the gold ampersands, baby’s breath bouquets and ribbon backdrop for the ceremony.
Their favorite wedding moment:
Our favourite moment on our wedding day was having all of the most important people in your life all together in one place, at one time. That moment will never happen again! I also loved taking a walk with my husband during the reception to getaway for a minute and really take it all in together.
How they met:
My husband and I met at a mutual friends cabin during a long weekend getaway on the Sunshine coast. We fell in love on the long ferry ride home and the rest is history.
Inspiration behind the wedding decor:
I’ve always been attracted to a beautiful palette of nudes and peach tones. There is just something so soft and feminine, without being too “girly” about it. I also adore ombre effects and was inspired by experimenting with watercolour paints one day. This is what inspired the slightly different shades of peach, pink and ivory hues and soft textures throughout our wedding decor. I wanted to evoke the same watercolour effect through the fluidity of chiffon fabrics (bridesmaid dresses), silk ribbons collected from France (altar), and variety of garden roses in our flower arrangements. The addition of gold throughout all of our elements gave our big day the perfect amount of the vintage aesthetic I was hoping for.
Advice for future brides and grooms-to-be:
Like many people say, it goes fast! So enjoy every minute of it. Not just on the big day itself, but with all of the events, planning and fun leading up to it. If one little thing isn’t exactly how you planned it, don’t worry! Because you are more than likely the only one that knows that.

Jenelle of Pinkpolka Wedding Design* shares with us today a very pretty wedding held in Comox, BC captured by Ria Hansen Photography . Read on to learn more about Kristin & Jason’s pink wedding.
The wedding video is gorgeous..a must see by Capture the Moment Media .
Jason and I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta, but we were both born and raised in small coastal communities. Jason grew up in the town of Torbay, Newfoundland, and myself in the town of Comox on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Despite the fact that these two Canadian coastal communities are situated on opposite ends of the country, they are surprisingly similar. Both offer a quaint, small town feel, where the people are friendly and the seafood is abundant. As a young girl I attended several weddings set in the beautiful ocean-side Filberg Park. Walking down the rustic, winding stone steps in a beautiful white gown was definitely my fairytale wedding dream. For me, my hometown of Comox had always been my perfect wedding location, and fortunately, it wasn’t hard to get Jason to agree. The fact that my father’s family has been in the Valley since the late 1800’s and our family photos can be found in the local museum makes this community all the more special. Thus, the Comox Valley was the perfect backdrop for our incredibly beautiful day. We wanted our wedding day to be classic, with hints of modern flare. We were very fortunate to be able to find just the right people to help us pull off the perfect event. It wasn’t easy trying to put together a wedding on Vancouver Island while living and working in Alberta, but my mother is incredible. She organized and planned tirelessly; she truly was the backbone of the entire event. My amazing friends were also a huge help; I certainly hope to be able to return the favor someday soon.
