“Jolyn was the best wedding planner ever. We work in the oilfield and were not able to plan our own wedding. Jolyn took care of everything and made our wedding a wedding to be proud of. It was more than we imagined. She has all details taken care of. In fact my bridesmaid even said every time she went to do something Jolyn was always one step ahead of her. We could never of put together a wedding like we had on our own. I strongly recommend using Nuance to plan the wedding of your dreams, well worth it. Trust me if you want a stress free wedding these are the people to use.” – Hazel & Barry

Hazel & Barry exchanged their vows in one of the smaller conference rooms. The decor was kept simple & yet welcoming. Marriage commissioner Marcia Loder conducted a beautiful wedding ceremony.

As guests entered the reception, they were greeted with the monogram door decals designed by Pink Polka Design.

To accompany their Parisian Garden decor scheme, Hazel & Barry selected their favorite french wine and used the bottles as a guest book. Guests each signed a bottle, and the bottles will then be opened on their first anniversary. A wonderfully fun keepsake for the couple of their France inspired wedding.

Guests found their names on the custom ribbon placecard board that I had created which beautifully showcased the placecards. Placecards designed by Pink Polka Design were color coded to the match the entree choice each guest had selected.

Hazel & Barry knew early on that they didn’t want to receive gifts, but would rather collect donations to both the Canadian Cancer Society & Kidney Foundation of Canada in memory of 8 special family members and friends who had been affected by those illnesses…including their dog Harvey…

Inside the ballroom, we had all four walls draped with a combination of white sheer & silver satin fabrics by our draping company QSD events. A custom french blue table linen had been brought in by Elegant Touches specifically for this wedding.

The fabric draped walls softened the look of the room and kept everything within the color scheme of the decor. The addition of ambient lighting throughout the room enhanced the feeling of romance!

Assorted crystal wine glasses reclaimed from thrift stores were placed along the edge of the head table and filled within single roses.

Reclaimed frames were all painted silver and embellished with crystal arrangements. The frames were hung throughout the room on the fabric walls as inspired by the decadent french museums and their fabulous artwork.

When Hazel & Barry were discussing the perfect wedding cake to display, we knew we wanted something that would ‘pop’ against the white fabric walls. I worked closely with Deb of Deliciously Different Cakes to design a parisian cake that would boost various shades of french blue and antique inspired scrollwork moulds.

My favorite feature is that we designed the cake to ‘float’ on a bed of white orchids and dusty miller filler…dramatically changing the look of the traditional cake table!

The room was full of lushious rose blooms from La Piazza Dasee and the brides bouquet was an absolutely stunning mix of roses, orchids, calla lilies and delphiniums.

The newlyweds and their guests partied hard into the night thanks to the tunes of DJ Rob at Nuance Sound.

Hazel & Barry – your wedding was gorgeous and you partied like Rockstars!! It was fun to be a part of it all, and see it come together! You both have hearts of gold, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Using a larger votive holder, place a small amount of water in it, and place an open rose into the votive holder. Remove some of the inner petals of the rose, and place a tealight (still in it’s aluminum or plastic cup) inside of the rose and light.

For safety, ensure the tealights are embedded in a rose which is completely in glass. Ensure the roses are moist and well watered before using for the tealight.

A rosebud ring can easily be prepared by your florist with a rosebud and wire that matches your wedding colors.

   

I first saw these beauties at a California wedding planner conference, where all the women attending the evening soiree were given one…what a fun favor that could be for the women in attendance at your wedding – to each receive their own signature rosebud ring!
