The process of picking flowers and their theme colours looks different for every couple. Our colours ended up choosing themselves; my husband and his late sister were very close, so he and his groomsmen wore boutonnieres with a deep shade of purple,...

There are all kinds of engagement rings out there; new shiny diamonds, old family heirlooms, stones with different meanings, or designs with certain sentiments in mind. I knew I wanted rose gold and a stone that wasn’t a diamond, but I didn’t know...

My fiancé took me to Maligne canyon in Jasper, where we had our first getaway together, and asked me kneeling on the ice on a -30 day Tell me about your proposal story! Was it in a certain place for a certain reason? Did your person have a speech...

Are you a spa person? Yoga and meditate? Go hiking or camping? The week leading up to your wedding will surely be filled with little things to do and a whole lot of excitement and nerves! What do you do and what are your plans to help yourself stay...

Hello September and October brides of 2023! Your big day is anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months away (yay!) and we all know the weather in our beautiful province can be a tad bit unpredictable. My wedding is in Banff in September,...

I booked a makeup trial for before my wedding date but I am waffling on a hair trial. I (think) I want the classic chignon and from her portfolio my hair stylist is a master at them. I have classic straight blonde hair, easy to work with and it’s...

I’m using JJ’s house and Azazie to order bridesmaid dresses, and I ordered a bunch of swatches so I could make sure I had my colours right. In the spirit of “reduce/re-use” and saving money for fellow brides, if there are any Calgary, Canmore,...

Curious to know who is going to be giving their guests little keepsakes? We want to find a fairly inexpensive trinket to gift to our ~100 guests that won't break the bank. Wanted to know if you brides plan to do anything, what you are doing if so, or...

I have some friends planning their wedding, it is a month before mine takes place; my planning is done, and they have barely started. Got me curious to know, where do you lie on the bride spectrum? How you ladies would describe your style as you plan...
