Ceremony & Reception at the RBC Convention Center

Elegant & Classy Wedding at the RBC Convention Center

Lynel & Nino hosted an elegant black tie wedding at the Winnipeg convention center, and it was so dreamy! They knew they needed assistance right from the beginning so they hired us for full planning so we could help them with everything along the way including the style and design of their big day! We worked together from October 2020 to August 2022, thats 20 months of planning! It was truly remarkable to see our vision come together after almost 2 years!

We held their ceremony in a super grand concrete room with floor to ceiling windows at the Winnipeg convention center. The sun was shining in and made for some gorgeous photos. It was a simplistic, sleek, clean look that was truly stunning! Lynel looked drop-dead gorgeous in her wedding gown. With the addition of a saxophone player for the ceremony music, it really had that luxury feel.

We really went for a classic, timeless, elegant, and simplistic design for their big day. We had a candlelit reception and moody lighting. We saved on costs by repurposing their aisle flowers from their ceremony to the centerpieces at the reception which we highly recommend always checking with your florist about repurposing pieces! We had the same day edit video from Dean Rover Films which is always so wonderful to get to see moments from the day right away and it allows the guests to truly see all the beauty that occurred!

We had a grand head table for the couple and their wedding party with a really nice backdrop draping, big throne chairs for the bride and groom, and chandeliers added in. It created such a beautiful focal point in their room! They had good food and drinks, including a beautiful and delicious donut wall from Sweet Impressions which is also interactive for guests. They also had a photbooth for guests to create many fun memories! We included a smoky haze for their first dance to truly bring that moody and classy vibe! Of course we had to finish off the night with the prosperity dance which is always so fun to watch and is said to bring the couple good luck for the rest of their marriage!

We loved planning this classy and elegant black tie wedding. It truly was just a timeless design. We would love to help you with all your wedding planning needs, including style and design so reach out to us here!
