Jocas and Manvir recently got married and had a beautiful cultural wedding at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. It was a multi-day wedding and we had the pleasure of participating in one of those days; one that we will remember for a long time.
Our bride had an incredible vision for her day and she trusted us to execute it on her behalf which I think we successfully accomplished. She wanted the vibe to be moody, romantic, colourful, and dreamy, and it was something I couldn’t wait to get started on. Seeing her and Manvir both absolutely ecstatic with the result was the ultimate reward, and I couldn’t be prouder of how every detail unfolded.
The day began with a beautiful ceremony held on the garden floor of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, a venue that is as timeless as it is elegant and gorgeous. With the stunning architecture of this building, every spot in it is the perfect place for a photo opt, so prepare your camera roll next time you attend a wedding there!
Their stunning floral arrangements from the ceremony were repurposed in the reception space, which was held on the main floor of the building, which is one of my favourite wedding tips because it allows you to get the most out of your flowers!
For the reception, we used serpentine tables in our design for the first time ever and I already can’t wait to use them again. It was such a fun way to spice up traditional guest tables and they created a great flow to the whole reception space. They created an intimate, but grand style which complimented the vibe we were going for, and we were immediately obsessed with them.
The main focal point of the room was the sweetheart table. Sweetheart tables put the spotlight on the couple and this one was decorated with the most breath-taking tropical-style floral arrangement. It was vibrant, lush, and exotic which was so captivating against the darker, romantic palette that was going on in the whole space.
Later in the evening, the celebration took on another layer of cultural richness as the bride made a stunning outfit change into traditional Indian attire. This was such a fun and sweet personal touch that added to the magic of their special day.
This cultural wedding at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights was a testament to how having a clear vision and meticulous execution can create an event that is not only beautiful, but unforgettable.
