From Wedding Planner + Designer, Laura Olsen Events —

‘Brandi and Doug waited 729 days to celebrate their wedding. It was always going to be beautiful, but it definitely had a real glow-up during this time, and quickly became one of our favourite weddings of all time. Soft, romantic, candlelit, warm, colourful, elegant, classic, formal. All words that Brandi used to describe her dream wedding aesthetic and honestly, I think we nailed it. From the romantic fonts, blush tones, layered textures, and the classiest vibe, this wedding was timeless, simple, and elegant from beginning to end and truly took everyone's breath away.

The tiniest of details stood out at Brandi and Doug's wedding, from ornate mini easels used as table number holders to small decorative elements in different corners on place cards to indicate which entrée a guest is having without detracting from the design. The playful but elegant stationery definitely brought this wedding to the next level of sophistication.

Our favourite part? The Press Alley at Status Wines. It is long and narrow, and we wanted to ensure Brandi and Doug still had a prominent spot in the room where their guests could see them, so we did a sweetheart table split by two long runs of harvest tables. It created intimacy while setting them apart, without being too on display.

With almost 100% of their guests traveling from out of town and the majority of those from the States, it was definitely a celebration to be had after waiting so long, making it one of the most FUN wedding days we’ve ever experienced - their guests were super kind and they definitely partied accordingly!’
