Taryn’s all-white bouquet was densely
packed with white ranunculus, fringed white
honeymoon tulips and black-centred white
anemones, accented with hints of Queen
Anne’s lace and green trachelium,
all wrapped in white ribbon. The bridesmaid’s
bouquets were white honeymoon tulips,
ranunculus and green trachelium, tied with
navy ribbon. Alanna Volp of BILLIES FLOWER
HOUSE created all of the floral designs for
the day.

The ceremony and reception took place at
SQUAMISH LIL’WAT CULTURAL CENTRE.

The aisle was flanked by beautiful wooden
trees that incorporated over 800 hanging
white snapdragons to give the sense
of flowering trees. A navy aisle runner
emphasized the tree theme with a thousand
white rose petals placed on top to create a
branch design. The whole wintery romantic
feel was further achieved by CELEBRATE
EVENTS by using an abundance of candles
and log seats.
Roxanne Cave and her team from CELEBRATE
EVENTS were instrumental in the design
process of the wedding which originated from
a wedding ‘brand book’ and creative vision
board that Taryn and Greg shared in the early
phases of planning.
The ceremony—officiated by Darcy Reimer—
took place just before sunset.
“I remember standing outside with my dad
waiting to go in and the sun was out,” recalls
Taryn.
“We walked into the building and I got my first
look of the decor and it was amazing. The
trees and flowers were so dramatic, I walked
down the aisle and was so excited to see Greg.
As our officiant spoke I noticed through all
the windows in the room that the sun was
going down. By the time we said our vows it
was darker in the room with the candlelight
creating a very intimate space. I often felt
like it was just us standing there. It went by
quicker than I expected and before I knew it—
we were married!”
“After we walked out we gathered with
champagne just outside the room with all of
our guests and my dad gave a toast. It was a
very nice way to start the rest of the evening.”
