evening

ambience

Once at THE VANCOUVER CLUB, the string
quartet from MUSICAL OCCASIONS also
performed during the couple’s cocktail hour. In
addition to floral design, Evan Orion of FLOWERZ
provided full-service decor for the reception and
cocktail hour spaces, described by Lindsay as
“classic and elegant.”
Large, tall centrepieces included hydrangeas,
peonies, roses, and orchids. Circling the bottom
of the centrepieces were small, short bouquets
of white hydrangeas and candles. Tables were
covered with silver linens and guests sat on silver
Chiavari chairs with white cushions. The chairs
at the couple’s large, rectangular head table were
decorated with ruffled linens in shades of white,
silver, and gray, accented with sparkling brooches.
Table numbers were placed in mirrored frames
and centrepieces sat on mirrored trays/coasters.
The head table had a long “runner” of mirrors
down the centre. Elegant white and black menus
topped silver charger plates.
Guests enjoyed a lavish meal catered by
The Vancouver Club.
cake

The couple had a five-tiered, white and gold
wedding cake. “There were alternating layers of
solid ivory with ivory and gold stripes. It was
decorated with a train of white orchids down
one side and candles around the bottom. The
four bottom layers of the design were faux-cake
and were purchased from Jenni Funk at SWEET
RETREAT. Shobna Kannusamy of SOIRETTE
MACARONS & TEA created the top layer of real
cake that was made to match the faux base.

Day-of stationery included a seating table chart,
name cards and menus
by WINTONS SOCIAL
STATIONERY to match
the invitations.

DJ MARY MAC turned the wedding into a dance
party after dinner. “She was great and so much
fun.” The couple also provided their guests with
the fun of a photo booth—from PHOTOBOOTH
VANCOUVER—that printed out strips of photos
with the couple’s names and wedding date at the
bottom.

A donation was made to the MAKE-A-WISH
FOUNDATION in lieu of favors.
“The best part of planning our wedding was
knowing we were putting together a beautiful day,
and sharing a very special part of our life with
our family and friends,” says Lindsay.
honeymoon

The newlyweds honeymooned in French
Polynesia where they enjoyed overwater
bungalow accommodations in Tikehau (TIKEHAU
PEARL BEACH RESORT), Moorea (HILTON
MOOREA LAGOON RESORT & SPA), Bora Bora
(HILTON BORA BORA NUI RESORT & SPA), and
Vahine Island (VAHINE ISLAND PRIVATE ISLAND
