I am so excited to FINALLY share Jodie and Jordan’s fabulous, fun, and funky wedding that took place this summer at the Calgary Zoo.  I had the privilege of working with Jodie and Jordan for 18 months to design and plan their monogram themed, green and brown wedding and I absolutely love how everything came together.  These two are so in love that you can’t help but smile every time you are in the same room with them.  I had an absolute blast throughout the entire process and loved every minute of their amazing wedding day.  It’s couples like this that make me feel so lucky to do the amazing job that I do.  A special thanks to TLAW Photography and Lifeseven Photography for capturing their day with perfection.  I can’t wait to see the film that IMAGO captured of their day.

The double J monogram was a theme throughout the wedding and was incorporated onto their invitations, ceremony programs, water bottles, GOBO on the dance floor, wedding favours, and signage throughout the reception.  The green uplighting, available through Inspired Occasions, dazzled their guests.  As a unique touch, each table was assigned a different name or memorable locations in and around their hometown.  For the back of the table cards I came up with the idea of Jodie and Jordan answering unique questions about their lives, interested, passions, hobbies, etc.  We also incorporated pictures from their engagement session which added even more of a fun touch to the “he said” “she said” answers.  They even kept their answers a secret from each other so that they would be as surprised as their guests.  This was definitely one of my favourite unique wedding details on their special day.

I loved the “guest book” which was a tree where guests could “leaf” their thumb prints and sign their names.  It went perfectly with our theme and added yet another unexpected touch.  To play up their colours as well as the rustic elements in the Safari Lodge, I created centerpieces using curly willow, granny smith apples, and mini cymbidium orchids.  These added instant impact when guests entered the reception room.  I also incorporated apples along the front of the head table with candles interspersed in between.  Their choreographed first dance upon entering the reception had everyone cheering and let their guests know they were in for a very fun celebration.

Congratulations Jodie and Jordan!
