Diane and Jeff

Diane & Jeff dreamt of beautiful fall day for her wedding nuptials when we started planning a year in advance…and mother nature sure came through as the rivervalley was awash with festive fall colors, bright sunny skies, and warmth in the air! 

Diane & Jeff - Nuance Occasions - September Edmonton Wedding

Since Jeff worked out of town, Diane needed assistance in designing her dream wedding day. Nuance Occasions began to assist her in bringing her elegant fall wedding to life.

With the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald, Wedgewood Room as her inspiration, we set out to create an elegant wedding, that hinted to the fall outside, without crossing into the normal orange and red color scheme. Taking the hue of burgundy from her stunning Maggie Sottero mermaid style wedding gown, we went with a white on white palate with the burgundy and deep green accents.

Their special wedding ceremony was officiated by longtime friend Sharon, in partnership with marriage commissioner Sheila Smyth – it was a truly moving ceremony, that reflected their love and relationship. As the couple began their photo session with Nicole Medynski on the Terrace of the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald, Edmonton – the Wedgewood Room was being transformed into an intimate reception space for 95 guests.

With the bride’s favorite flower, Stargazer Lilies as the focal point for the lushious table centerpieces from Flowers by Merle – the mood was set. Graced by elegant stationery from Pink Polka Designs – the light silver designs perfectly suited to the Wedgewood Room.

When it came time for the menu, we made sure to pair the two loves of this couple – chocolate dipped strawberries for her, and apple pie for him! The favours were fresh chocolate dipped strawberries made by the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald place in acrylic boxes wrapped in white satin ribbon and silver bouillion wire. The dessert was a delectable apple tart tartin served with vanilla ice cream and raspberry coulis. And the strawberry shortcake wedding cake designed by Cakes by Janna – was definately the icing on the cake!

The couples’ first dance was a Rolling Stones favorite of theirs as they kicked off the party…that they didn’t want to end! Jeff and Diane’s wedding day was a perfectly tailored to their vision and their personalities.

Diane & Jeff – may you be blessed with may days surrounded by loving family & friends…your love for one another continue to defy the years!
