True Love, True Luxury: Lynn and Michael’s Niagara-on-the-Lake Winery Wedding

Filed Under» Real Weddings

Lynn and Michael had been dating for over four years before getting married on an early summer’s eve in lovely Niagara-on-the-Lake wine country. For the proposal, Michael planned a “surprise” vacation to New York right before Christmas 2 years earlier. In their room at the Plaza Hotel, he got down on one knee and asked Lynn to marry him. She burst into tears right away and said yes!

Anthropologie inspired wedding at Inn on the Twenty

Okay, we’ve got a bit of a different post for you this time ... all you wedding purists might want to hang on to your seats!

From the florist / designer: “When we first met with our bride, she told us that she didn’t want her wedding to *feel* like a wedding. She said she loved the store Anthropologie! We’re big Anthropologie fans and we decided to get involved a little bit more with the staging aspect of her wedding ... the fabrics, pillows and the antiques ... all the lovely, lovely details!”

Vintage inspired outdoor Niagara Winery Wedding

Vintage inspired meets Tuscan vineyard ... it’s an outdoor wedding smack-dab in the middle of Niagara’s wine country!  So lovely ...

We just love the soft colours and the fluffy peonies, champagne garden roses and delicate queen anne’s lace in the florals designed by My Bouquet.

From the photographer, Nataschia Wielink ... “When the bride described the look and vibe she wanted to create for their wedding celebration, I was thrilled to work with them. The winery vineyards helped to create that ‘Tuscan’ look and the pretty romantic details were a lovely addition to the already stunning views. It was a perfect evening for an outdoor wedding ceremony!”

Winter Wedding at Inn on the Twenty by Stec Photographers

Upon entering the Vintner’s Suite at Inn on the Twenty, photog Pete Stec of Stec Photo knew this would be a fun day. 

Frigid temps and deep snow were no obstacle for this resilient wedding party!  Vintage was definitely a theme in the bride’s dress and accessories and that fit perfectly with Stec’s vintage chic esthetic. 

Stec Photo was kind enough to share a few of their favourites from the day, but there were enough for about 6 months worth of additional blog posts!  We were thrilled to see how everything turned out in the face of some potentially restrictive challenges of weather!

A Niagara on the Lake (via Toronto) Sikh-Protestant Multicultural Wedding

Filed Under» Real Weddings

From the moment we saw these images, we knew that we just HAD to share them with you!

This is one seriously amazing photo set sent to us by the ridiculously talented team of Niagara wedding photographers at Stec Photo Boutique Wedding Studio. We love all the multi-cultural details that were captured in these images ... they tell the whole love story in all it’s harmony and celebration of diversity.

The cultural significance of both of their backgrounds (India + Scotland) was high on the couples’ list of priorities and as such, they celebrated two wedding ceremonies! First, a traditional Sikh ceremony near Toronto followed later in the day by a Protestant wedding ceremony just across the Lake in Niagara on the Lake ... both on the same day!

How did they do this you ask? Simple! They used a helicopter for quick transport across Lake Ontario ... of course! 

An evening dinner reception followed at Queen’s Landing in Niagara on the Lake. We hear that the meal was absolutely amazing, featuring all kinds of traditional Indian gastronomical delights like ... Butter Chicken!

From the photographers ....

This had to be one of the most unique weddings we’ve done in years!  With such varied cultural backgrounds like Scottish and Sikh, we thought we’d be in for a treat ... but it was even better than we expected! Victoria and Parbal had a Sikh ceremony in Brampton and a Protestant wedding ceremony later in the heart of Niagara on the Lake ... this wedding wins the prize for most unique ‘stuff’ going on.

Both the bride and groom changed several times with a variety of great outfits ... and Parbal even shaved for the last part of the evening ... we totally didn’t recognize him!
