Welcome to this month's edition of our newsletter, complete with the freshest wedding inspiration and updates you won't want to miss!

In this edition, we're excited to share another beautiful feature photographed by F10 Studio — We are delighted to feature Deborah and Fredner's love story, who crafted their dream day with a rustic contemporary theme infused with modern luxurious glam at Ancaster Mill.

We showcased the elegant wedding of Alyssa and John at the stunning Pearle Hotel in Burlington. Floral designer Sue Gallo shares, "Every beautiful detail carefully and thoughtfully crafted for their Pearle Hotel wedding is a testament to their love story and refined sense of style."⁠

Samantha and Ben's real wedding feature at Chateau des Charmes Winery was full of timeless wedding inspiration, as well as perfect examples of how to incorporate personal details into your wedding day. The signature cocktail was an Aperol Spritz, and in lieu of a cake or traditional dessert, they brought in a gelato cart and a specialty coffee truck.

This month, we also got to know our beloved Swish List members even better in their Vendor Spotlights — Barefoot Travel and Starnotch Costume and Garment Design. We can't wait for you to get to know them, too!

Welcome to this month's edition of our newsletter, complete with the freshest wedding inspiration and updates you won't want to miss!

In this edition, we're excited to share another beautiful feature photographed by Danielle Cargill Photography— a bride dressed in a custom lavender couture gown and veil adorned with delicate appliqués, lavender linens, golden tablescape details, and bespoke stationery — we are sure that we have stepped into the most dream-like fairytale.

We shared a real wedding captured by F10 Studio — set against a beautiful early autumn colour palette of rich reds and classic black and white, high school sweethearts Corey and Shanelle celebrated their love story with their closest family and friends at La Primavera Event Space in Toronto. ⁠

Audrey and Wes' real wedding feature at Burlington's historic Paletta Mansion is full of timeless autumn wedding inspiration, captured by Simply Lace Photography.

the first look wedding show

How is it possible that another show has come and gone, taking with it another successful celebration of The First Look wedding show here in beautiful Niagara. It started with a dream to transform the event space at Ravine Vineyard, our host venue, into a place that felt warm and cozy yet bustling with energy, and little by little the details stitched themselves together to do just that. The intimacy of The First Look is something we hear at Vineyard Bride take seriously, and we never want the show to feel so big that we lose that comfortable, casual feeling.

Our hearts are full, and we are grateful to be able to relive the memories through images captured by Philosophy Studios.

Head to our latest blog post to see more.

Until next year!
