Swish Loves This!

Niagara vineyard wedding at Good Earth Food and Wine Co. designed by Mimosa Flower Studio

"Fortunato in amore, fortunato nella vita. Siamo molto benedetti."  (Translates to "fortunate in love, fortunate in life … we are very blessed!")

When the summer heat hits its peak, wise Italians escape the city and head to the country to join their loved ones for the mid-summer festival of Ferragosto on August 15. This was the inspiration for Janine + Roberto's Ferragosto wedding among the vineyards at Good Earth Food and Wine Co. in Niagara’s wine country.

The wedding ceremony was held in a verdant meadow under century old willow and sugar maple trees. Our nieces and nephews helped out in the religious service with a rousing responsorial psalm and handmade alleluia signs. The groom’s papa led the guests in reciting an Italian version of the Our Father – Il Padre Nostro. The ceremony ended with a prosecco toast: viva gli sposi! and we were deluged with handfuls of rice thrown from every direction. 

As the sun was setting behind the orchard, guests strolled toward the winery bistro alongside the vineyard. The communal dinner table was waiting under the pergola, softly lit by sparkling crystal chandeliers and votives in a combination of mercury glass and custom hand-sewn vintage fabric sleeves in tones of muted mauve, pale lavender and mulled grape. 

The last word goes to Janine + Roberto's five-year old nephew who whispered into the groom's ear: “Zio, can I tell you something?” “Yes, Ryan, what is it?” “This is the best wedding I’ve ever been to. It’s only the first wedding I’ve ever been to, but it’s the best!” 

This wedding was perfectly captured byuber-talented wedding photographer Nataschia Wielink!

Heather + Joseph

Swish List Member and Niagara wedding photographer Nataschia Wielink is the artist behind the lens on this one and she has managed to send us completely over the edge with these gorgeous photographs of Heather and Joseph’s outdoor Niagara wedding celebrations!

What’s really cool about this wedding is that there is not just one, but three of our fabulous Swish List Niagara wedding professionals featured!  Hair and makeup provided by Storm Hair Group and the cheery flowers were designed by the uber talented Niagara wedding florist Jennifer Elliotson of Mimosa Flower Studio.
 

Next to Heather, Joseph’s Austin Mini (an original, vintage Mini) might be his greatest passion!  The bridal party travelled in style all day ... in a vintage Mini caravan! It was a blast watching Heather pop out of the sunroof and joust her bouquet to the cheers of the guests as they ripped out of the church parking lot after their ceremony ...
 

Thanks to Heather + Joseph for sharing their day with us!

Maris + Michael

Swish List Photographer Nataschia Wielink sent us these photos of a great Niagara wedding she shot last weekend ... here’s the story in her words:

Family…  is there anything closer to your heart?  It was so evident that for Maris and Mike, family is treasured.  Maris made plans to sleep at her grandma’s and get ready there the morning of the wedding.  It’s the home that Maris’ Mom grew up in and a gorgeous location for pictures - beautiful sunlight spilling into every room.  And Maris had a beautiful timeless and classic look - she made an absolutely stunning bride!

Things we loved about this Niagara wedding:

All of the details coordinated with the look and feel of the day.  The bouquets matched the delicate look of the wedding gown.  Designed by boutique Niagara wedding florist Mimosa Flower Studio, they were so full and looked almost as if the flowers might even have been gathered from the garden! 

The red carpet that ran down the aisle that would lead Maris to her handsome groom.  Mike was waiting at the front of the chapel in RCMP Full Dress Uniform.

A few giggles came from the crowd when Maris almost dropped the ring and very politely exclaimed “oopsie daisy”! 

The chapel was filled with the sounds of a bag piper as the newly-weds signed the license.

Their day was rich with tradition, getting married at Ridley College, being one of them.  A lunch to follow at the beautiful Queen’s Landing surrounded by the ones they love and care for most.  I’m searching for a word or a phrase to describe the feeling of the day ... a genuine celebration of two very lovely people!

Thanks to Maris + Michael for sharing their day with us!

Wedding Flowers

Kathy and Dave

Nothing brightens up a November Niagara wedding quite like these pink bridal bouquets created by the uber talented Jennifer at Mimosa Flower Studio. We love the dramatic colour palette of this wedding!  

Kathy and Dave were married in the afternoon and invited their guests to a dinner reception at a local golf course and winery.  In between the “I do” and dinner, pictures were taken in downtown St. Catharines and at Decew Falls.

Things we love about their wedding - the classic black bridesmaids dresses bought off the rack at RW&Co. (great find!), the feather in Kathy’s hair and the twirling little flower girl, Kate. So cute!

Dave and Kathy ... perfect for each other!  Your wedding was so Swish ... thanks for letting us share in your day!
