Sunan & Yeu || Sneak Peek

This past weekend Wedding Design Studio designed another FABULOUS wedding at Hart House in Burnaby, British Columbia. We worked alongside Sonja, the talented coordinator at Hart House and Jeff Chang of Jeff Chang Photography. Please enjoy a few sneak peek photos that our designers took from their iPhones of this gorgeous wedding. 

The aisleway was adorned with 150 cream roses worth of petals, creating an elegant zig-zag down either side. The cream fabric was used to create a bamboo chuppah, Monstera leaves and rich burgundy roses were attached to each aisleway chair.

This wedding was very royal vintage, which means that it is timeless. This will be a wedding to remember for years to come! 

Congrats to Sunan & Yeu! May your marriage be wonderful!

Stay tuned for more photos from this wedding!

We're Moving! || WDS News

BIG NEWS!!! SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!! (The Cat’s Out Of the Bag!!!)

WEDDING DESIGN STUDIO is pleased and excited to announce that we are MOVING our studio warehouse in October of 2011! It has been a work in progress for quite some time, and we are SO excited that we can finally “let the cat out of the bag” about this move! Wedding Design Studio has been in business for over 20 years, and has constantly been growing and expanding. Kim & Andy (WDS owners) first ran the business out of their home, carting the décor (and their baby daughter) around in their station wagon and pickup truck. From there, Wedding Design Studio expanded to take up a full basement in a larger home. It wasn’t long before the décor business needed MORE space. In 2006, Wedding Design Studio moved into a 4,000 square foot studio warehouse in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. In the five years that the business has been operating out of this warehouse, we have designed over 100 weddings a year! This decorating business has grown beyond anything we could ever hope or dream for! In the years of business Wedding Design Studio has been featured in magazines, commercials, newspapers, and on countless media websites.

And NOW, we have designed and built our very own, CUSTOM, 5,000 square foot studio warehouse in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. Earlier this year, Kim & Andy bought acreage property with a fabulous Tuscany-style home on it. Since the day they bought their beautiful home, they have designed and built a HUGE studio warehouse on this same property! The new studio warehouse is fabulous, and we cannot wait to move in this October!

Let us answer a few questions for you, regarding this move:

Are you still available to do weddings?

ABSOLUTELY! Our goal for this move is to allow our business to expand and grow! We will be gradually moving our inventory to the new studio warehouse during the month of September, so that we are fully ready for opening in October, 2011.

Are you open during the move?

OF COURSE! Keeping our new showroom open will be our first priority. We will continue to be open, as usual, by appointment only. We will be taking appointments for the years 2012, 2013 and beyond, as well as any last minute events in 2011.

Where is this new studio warehouse located?

20020 Richardson Road, Pitt Meadows, British Columbia

When do you open your new studio?

October 4^th, 2011 (by appointment only)

Designer Moving Sale!

In order to prepare for this big move, we are clearing room in our inventory. We want to stay fresh with new trends and styles, by replacing old, unused (by us) inventory with brand new inventory!! Therefore, we are having a MASSIVE Designer Moving Sale on September 16^th & 17^th. Visit our website (http://www.weddingdesignstudio.com/) or our Facebook events (www.facebook.com/WeddingDesignStudio) for more information regarding this exciting sale.

Stay tuned for more updates!!

Liewken & Jinder

Just a few short weeks ago, Wedding Design Studio designed Liewken & Jinder's wedding at the beautiful Hart House in Burnaby, BC. The day was absolutely gorgeous, and it was shot by the talented Kristy Ryan of Blush Wedding Photography. Kristy was very professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She took some fabulous photos, and did an amazing job at capturing Liewken & Jinder's special day!

Congratulations to Liewken & Jinder! You are such a great couple, and we wish you the best in your new married life!


The bride and groom sent us this wonderful thank-you note!

Hi Kim, Karlee and all of the Wedding Design Studio staff,

Jinder and I cannot describe what you all have given to us. Thank you! Thank you for taking our design vision and making it reality. From the bouquet flowers to the tent decoration, the atmosphere was so romantic and completely set the stage for our "vintage romance" theme. It was everything we envisioned it to be and more.

Kim and Karlee, your dedication and professionalism is one of a kind. It was a pleasure working with both of you. You've left us speechless but our guests can't stop raving about the wedding decor. I love design and it was so nice working along side designers who are so passionate about their work and craft.

Thank you for the beautiful memories!
 Sincerely,
Liewken and Jinder Randhawa


And the photographer also wrote a great note about us on her blog:
 
One of my favorite event decor vendors are Wedding Design Studio (www.weddingdesignstudio.com). They are professional, creative and lovely to work with…what else could you ask for? Whether your style is uber opulence, fresh and modern, or hopeless romantic I’ve seen them nail it all! Plus, they do flowers! One less vendor you need to worry about. Check out the fabulous work they did for Liewken and Jinder’s ‘Vintage Romance’ themed wedding at the Hart House (www.harthouserestaurant.com). Remember how I said I love the details, well they even had vintage-style books on the head table, totally vintage romance!

Natasha & Damon

On July 9th, Wedding Design Studio traveled to Westin Bear Mountain Resort on Vancouver Island. It was a wonderful trip and we loved designing the wedding for the beautiful couple, Natasha & Damon. The resort was GORGEOUS, cute little deer were running all over the mountain-side. Renee Aird of Aird Events was the wedding planner. She did a fabulous job, as always! The photographers for this wedding were Emmy & Aaron from E/A Photography. The photos looked so wonderful, and we're so excited to share them in today's blog posting. 


Natasha's dress was custom made, as shown in the below photos. It was too gorgeous, we couldn't help but share a few photos of it on our blog.

Natasha & Damon's wedding looked stunning. The entire room was bathed in candelight and crystals! For this wedding, we think the photos can speak for themselves. 


Congrats to Natasha & Damon! Thanks for being such a pleasure to work with. 


To Kim & Karlee, and the staff of Wedding Design Studio

Damon & myself would like to thank you with our most sincere gratitude for making our vision a reality. Your genuine passion and expertise created the very sophisticated, intimate and elegant atmosphere we had envisioned  from the beginning.

Your level of professionalism and patience made it effortless in communicating our ideas making you such a pleasure to work with.
  As Vancouver's premier wedding design studio you deal with high profile clients, planning several weddings simultaneously throughout the year and you have always made our wedding day feel like your number one priority.

So from the bottom of our hearts, our biggest thanks. You have left the two of us, our families and guests speechless, creating "The most beautiful wedding we have ever seen."  Thank you for the beautiful memories!

All the best
Sincerely,
Natasha & Damon Fryer

Stephanie & Kiff

On July 29th, 2011, Wedding Design Studio designed a fresh and stylish wedding for Stephanie & Kiff at Hart House. The photographers were Union Photographers, and they did a fabulous job of capturing the fresh and vibrant wedding for these newlyweds.


Stephanie looked so beautiful on her wedding day!

Stephanie wore these custom cowboy boots under her wedding dress. These creative boots were detailed with bright purple flowers.

Stephanie & Kiff are so fresh and lovely, and Stephanie's bouquet matched the vibrancy of this young couple. The bouquet was created with bright orange mokara orchids and purple vanda orchids.

The decor was simple but yet bright and bold. The centerpieces were lit up at night by a bronzy-orange light box. Chandeliers hung from the center of the tent.

Congratulations to Stephanie & Kiff! We hope that your marriage is fabulous, and that you enjoy your life together along with your little boy!
