It’s Yaira’s birthday today, so we are just writing to wish her a very happy birthday! We hope you have a great day Yaira and that you are blessed with many more years to come. Here’s a sneak peek of Yaira’s maternity photos that will be posted later this month.

THANK YOU – OUR LIFE…

Thank you to all of the brides and grooms who stopped by our booth this weekend at the bridal show. It was great to meet so many new people and we’re excited to be working with lots of great new couples. Thank you also to our current (and past) couples who stopped by to say hi and share their newest wedding details with us. We have lots and lots of new blog posts coming up in the next week and a few personal ones too. Thanks again to all of our couples who constantly make me love what we do for a living!

MARINA AND MICHA – THE DAY…

The maid of honour and best man followed closely behind the bride and groom with two candles as the they made a full circle of the Church together. Although beautiful candles, unfortunately wax dripped down the train of the dress and splashed across the tiny bead work and lace. Through the lens we worried, cringed, wanted to rush forward with napkins and save the beautiful gown. But the bride hadn’t even noticed – it was her wedding day and it was the man walking beside her that mattered, not the gown. Marina and Micha were so in love that nothing could ruin such a beautiful moment.

Family was a very important element on this day, as the blending of Serbian and Russian traditions made for a special cultural celebration. Marina’s mother insisted that we were even just like family as well, when we learned on the wedding day that Ewan, Marina and her brother all went to high school together and even had classes together. The family closeness of the day continued as we were embraced with hugs and kisses from Marina’s mom when it was time to leave at the end of the night. Marina and Micha, we felt honoured to be so welcomed into your home and your special day and truly thank you for inviting us into such a beautiful celebration of family and love.

BRIDAL SHOWS, BRIDAL SHOWS…OUR LIFE…

Bridal shows come in twos – two in September and two in January. I don’t sleep very much around them, get paper cuts from folding pamphlets and blisters from standing in high heels for two days. But the truth is, I wouldn’t change it for the world – I love them! It’s always special to meet so many new brides (and sometimes grooms) and hear about what they have planned for their big day. It’s also great to see all of the vendors we love to work with and talk about what’s new for the upcoming year. If this is your first time coming to a bridal show, bring a friend to help you carry all of the goodies you’ll receive and make sure you try all of the cake samples that you can!

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, come visit us at the Western Fair Grounds for the Bridal Expo and feel free to bring a piece of cake over for a visit too :)
