Check out the link to my website to see fabulous photos from Chris & Nooneh's wedding.

Lovely Laura at Magnolia Photographic was the great visionary behind the lens.

Bride and Groom, Nooneh & Chris were favourites of mine (and of Laura the photographer). Thought I'd do a post to honour the safe and healthy arrival of little Ethan - congratulations Chris & Nooneh!

This fabulous beach in Tofino, BC on Vancouver Island was the setting for a fun wedding a few years back. It was a crisp and sunny May weekend when the Bride and Groom tied the knot! The Ceremony took place in the late afternoon after a sports day on the sand with all the family members participating.

BloomRoom scattered rose petals (blocked by the wind by the guests forming a circle), and dug "mini bouquets" into the sand. We also added some hurricane candles (a good idea to deflect the wind that you often experience on the beach). We transferred the hurricane candles to the gust tables at the Reception (a great way to double-up and reduce costs!).

Of course we had sand in the hurricanes to
keep the candles anchored, so the beach stayed with the guests as they devoured their seafood supper.

Some Reception venues have limited seating which can, in turn lead to your number of guests as maximum for the space. This sometimes results in the venue using narrow tables to increase the number of seats.

This picture shows a simple and classy dendrobien orchid with a curled bit of green leaf. They are showcased in a narrow vase that doesn't take up any excess space on the table top, yet the simple centerpiece still makes a statement.

The use of a clear glass vase (vs. a ceramic or solid container/vase) also adds to the non-cluttered feel.
