Shelby & Kyle

Wedding Design Studio designed the wedding for the lovely Shelby & Kyle on July 23rd, 2011. The look was very soft vintage, including colors of soft peach and creams. Both the ceremony and reception took place at Shelby's parent's GORGEOUS property in Maple Ridge. We had the privilege of working alongside one of our many favorite photographers: Ameris Photography, as well as the ever-talented wedding planner, Renee of Aird Events. The day was gorgeous, and everything went perfectly. Please enjoy the following photos taken by Ameris:

Shelby looked stunning on her wedding day, as shown through this photograph.

The tent was designed by Wedding Design Studio, with vintage candelabras, filled with creamy white hydrangea and dripping with crystals. The tables were covered with cream brocade overlays. Keeping the vintage feel, we created small arrangements of soft flowers to surround these stunning candelabras.

A hedge of soft peach roses and creamy hydrangea adorned the head-table, along with splashes of candlelight.


This fabulous crystal chandelier was hung over the sign-in table.

The ceremony took place on the lawn and patio, in front of an antique wooden shed. The shed was adorned with trees and small decorative pails of purple hydrangea.

The shed created a perfect backdrop for nighttime photos. Wedding Design Studio used special lighting to create a beautiful backdrop.

Congratulations Shelby & Kyle! All the best to you two in your future together. 

This thoughtful thank-you note was sent to us from Shelby & Kyle: 

To Kim, Andy, Karlee, Renee and all the staff at the studio,

Kyle and I, would like to say thank you so much for transforming our parent's property into a beautiful, romantic setting for our vintage style wedding.  You took our vision and went above and beyond anything we ever could have imagined and it was absolutely breathtaking.   The décor and flowers were so amazing and beautiful, we are still getting many complements! Many of our guests have been saying it was one of the most beautiful weddings they have ever been to and we have all of you to thank! 

Thank you so so much for everything, you truly helped make our day memorable!

Kyle & Shelby O’Neill

Jolanta & Shane || Destination

Just a few weeks ago, we designed a wedding for Jolanta & Shane, who got married at the fabulous Galiano Inn & Spa. The wedding planner for this wedding was Renee Aird, who is always wonderful to work with. Joanne from Verde Flowers, worked with Kim from Wedding Design Studio to design all of the floral. We just received some beautiful photos from the couple's wedding photographer: Chris Boar, and we're so excited to be able to share them with you now!


Jolanta & Shane got married under a clear blue summer sky, at a stunning ceremony location that overlooked the water! We were in awe at how gorgeous the venue was!

Jolanta walked down an elegant carpet of rose petals, to meet her groom at the alter.

The sides of the aisle were lined with vintage patterned fabric, and large groupings of creamy hydrangea.

Jolanta & Shane got married under this decadent, flower-covered alter. The designers took the alter from a bare frame to an elegant floral masterpiece, using curly willow, bright roses, and green & white hydrangea.

The reception room was designed with simple but yet, impacting decor. Pale mauve and deep eggplant runners lined the tables, and large, bright floral centerpieces were placed along these runners.

This wedding was so much fun to design! The couple was a delight, the venue was STUNNING, the food was amazing, and the other vendors were great to work with!! A big thank-you to Chris Boar, Galiano Inn & Spa, Renee Aird, and everyone else who was involved with this wedding! And a big congrats to Jolanta & Shane. All the best to you two in your life together. :) 

Thanks again to Meggie for this lovely thank-you note!

Dear Karlee, Renee, Kim & all décor people,

We just wanted to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful wedding.  Jolanta sent me an e-mail saying that this was the most spectacular day of their lives.

Everything was just perfect and went smoothly. Flower arrangements and bouquets were phenomenal.

We will remember this wedding for the rest of our lives.

Thank you again!!!

Meggie, Ken, Jolanta and Shane.

Natasha & Damon || Sneak Peek

On July 9th, we traveled to Bear Mountain Resort to design the wedding for this gorgeous couple, Natasha & Damon. Natasha & Damon are so great together and we loved working with them to create the decor that best fit their style. Their photographers were E/A Photography and we have already fallen in love with the ceremony and portrait shots.! We can't imagine what the reception and decor shots are going to look like!


Natasha sent us this lovely thank-you note:

Shelby & Kyle || Sneak Peek

On July 23rd, Wedding Design Studio was privileged to design an outdoor wedding for Shelby & Kyle's wedding on her parent's gorgeous property in Maple Ridge. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and the bride looked radiant. We worked alongside Ameris Photography, and are excited to see the photos that they have taken. For now, we have some photos that our designers took while on site.


Shelby went for vintage, soft and elegant decor, focusing the colors on cream, peach, silver, white, pale green, and a few pops of hydrangea blue. It was a stunning combination!


The ceremony took place outside of Shelby's parent's vintage shed. We created an archway of curly willow for the couple to be married under. Hanging from the branches were small vintage pails, filled with deep blue/purple hydrangea. These tree archways created the perfect amount of definition for a backdrop. 

Another unique feature that we added to this wedding was a stunning crystal chandelier, hanging from a tree over the sign-in table.

The table centerpieces were our new silver candelabras with hurricane glass vases, filled with hydrangea and topped with a votive candle. It was very vintage inspired! The overlays were a white on cream vintage brocade overlay, which added a great deal of soft elegance to the tables.

Congrats to Shelby & Kyle! We are so happy for both of you, and we are very excited to see the rest of your photos!

Sanj & Jen || Sneak Peek

This past Sunday, we designed Sanj & Jen's wedding at Swaneset Bay Resort. We worked alongside Dolly from Surrey Flower Shop. Dolly is a fabulous florist! She designed all of the beautiful table arrangements. We are excitedly awaiting the photos that the photographer has taken. For now, we are going to feature some photos that our designers took on location.


The tables were draped with vintage brocade overlays, and had our specialty purple satin napkins and glass gold charger plates. The chairs were covered with eggplant chair wraps. We also provided the alternating height candles around the base of the centerpieces.

 On either side of the bar, there were tall square vases, candles, and floral arrangements. This was placed beside one of the lounge rooms that we designed.

 And now, introducing our NEW lounge furniture! We have specialty white leather cubes, as well as long, white leather benches. Wedding Design Studio is very excited to add this to our inventory!

We hope that you enjoy this 'sneak peek' of Sanj & Jen's wedding at Swaneset. We are excited to see more photos from the wedding, as it looked STUNNING! It was wonderful to work with Dolly, Swaneset, and all the other vendors that helped put this wedding together.

Eric & Brianna

We just received a thank-you note from the bride and groom of a wedding we did several weeks ago.We hope to see the photographer's photos soon!

Hi Karlee & Wedding Design Studio,


Brianna and I have just returned from our Honeymoon and wanted to reach out to you to express our sincere gratitude for everything you guys did to make our wedding day such a great success!  The tent looked fantastic, the dinner tables incredible and the overall look and feel of everything was unbelievable!  Our photographer has sent us some images already and those taken of the tent and the tables looked very impressive.  We plan to ask her to submit some of the pictures to a few wedding magazines...


Karlee, thank you again for helping us along the way. We couldn't have done it without you and the Wedding Design Studio team - and would recommend you guys to any of our friends, who plan on getting a wedding designer on their wedding day.


Regards,


Brianna & Eric

Jolanta & Shane || Sneak Peek

This past weekend, a florist and several designers headed over to Galiano Inn & Spa on Galiano Island, BC for a destination wedding. The bride and her mother LOVED flowers, so the decor design of the wedding was completely focused on flowers. 

Here are a few photos that our designer took. We are awaiting photos from the photographer, Chris Boar.

The ceremony took place outside, in a location that overlooked the water. The weather was perfect! A blanket of roses were spread across the entire aisle, creating a stunning walkway for the bride and bridal party.

The bride and groom got married under this archway. It was completely saturated in flowers, and really flowed with their "flower" theme.

The guests tables had a eggplant runner for the base, and were lined with long floral arrangements. They looked incredible!

This is a close-up of the flower arrangements that were made for the head-table. The colors were so gorgeous, and both the bride and her mom loved them.

We received this lovely email from the bride's mother, expressing her thanks:

Dear Karlee, Renee, Kim & all décor people,

We just wanted to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful wedding.  Jolanta sent me an e-mail saying that this was the most spectacular day of their lives.

Everything was just perfect and went smoothly. Flower arrangements and bouquets were phenomenal.

We will remember this wedding for the rest of our lives.

Thank you again!!!

Meggie, Ken, Jolanta and Shane.

Leighton & Carlin

Several months ago, we worked with Leighton and Carlin to create wedding decor that was unique to their personal style. The wedding took place at Rowena's Inn on the River. The wedding was captured by the amazing photographer, Mikaela Ruth. Take and moment to have a peek at the photos Mikaela provided from this beautiful wedding:


Carlin looked stunning on her wedding day! Here she is, with her bridesmaids:

 Carlin's bouquet was composed of cream roses and peonies, created in a loose, garden dome. Light greenery was added as a collar around the bottom of the bouquet. 

Her bridesmaids were given small bouquets of hydrangea, garden roses, lisianthus, wax flowers, and a few additional "garden-style" flowers. The handled was wrapped in a soft mauve fabric.

Most of the wedding festivities took place on the lawn. They had set-up several lawn games for the guests to enjoy.

The centerpieces were made in various sizes of vases and bottles, grouped together at the center of the guest tables and cocktail tables. The linens were creamy brocade and helped to compliment the soft simplicity of the wedding theme.

 Bird cages were hung in groupings around the reception tent. Both inside and cascading out of the cages were willow branches, and flowers to match the decor. It helped to give some definition and layering to the surrounding of the tent.

 

Thanks again to Mikaela for providing us with these stunning photos! We hope to work with you again in the future, as you have been a delight to work alongside. Also, a huge congrats to Leighton and Carlin on your marriage! May your future together be amazing!
