Earth to Table Farm Wedding

Hold your hats, people, because this one is a stunner. Lauren and Craig's Earth to Table Farm wedding in Flamborough took my breath away at multiple points throughout the planning and, of course, on the wedding day itself. I have been trying to find the words to describe exactly how wonderful this day was, but my emotions get the better of me and all I want to use are the words that describe love in various ways. I have been sitting on these images so beautifully captured by Christine Lim, since shortly after their September wedding. Not because I don't love them, but because I was so terrified I wouldn't put together the right collection of images to showcase this day in the way it deserves to be shown.The respect and love that Lauren and Craig have for each other is something that is a once-in-a-century. They love keeping beautiful traditions alive. He is a true gentleman and her etiquette is impeccable.They wanted to create something colourful and incorporated their love for antiquing but was elegant and formal. Most importantly, it had to feel authentic and I think we did it. I think the images speak for themselves beyond that lead-in, so I'll leave you to peruse the gorgeousness below.

Horse Farm Wedding in Burlington, Ontario

Taylor and Brad came up from Ohio to celebrate their big day on her uncle's horse farm here in Ontario. The estate had a special place in Taylor's heart and right from the moment we met I knew I wanted to be involved. I then fell in love with the stunning countryside estate and I knew this horse farm wedding was going to be one full of love! Planning a tent wedding is difficult enough but doing so from out of town creates an added level of complexity. I was happy to help them with both the planning and styling of the event. It was important to Taylor that the beautiful landscape be the focal point so we were careful to pull inspiration from our surroundings.

THE DESIGN

We used wood harvest tables for the head table and buffet tables to relax the beautiful champagne linens used to dress up the guest tables. Each centerpiece was carefully assembled by Ashley Elaine Florals in heirloom trophies won by the family's horses over the years. Using a bright palette in shades of pinks and greens, we anchored it all with a deep raspberry colour. Brad handmade the table numbers out of horseshoes as a subtle nod to the beautiful animals that mean so much to Taylor.

THE FOOD

Jake's Grillhouse handled the catering and oh my goodness, it was yummy! During cocktail hour canapes were passed while oysters were shucked in front of guests at the beautifully prepared oyster bar. As for dinner, we wanted to be mindful of budget and the relaxed outdoor environment so we opted for buffet style. Buffet tends to get a bad rap, but the longer it has to sit the better the flavours get! Is also allows for more flexibility in terms of timing with speeches and event flow.
