Claire and Austin had a dreamy summertime wedding at St Boniface Golf Course. Claire and Austin were Full Planning clients, so we helped pick their vendor team, manage their budget, and design the look and feel of their wedding day. The weather was perfect for Claire and Austin’s outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. They had a beautiful and romantic ceremony in the courtyard of the St. Boniface Golf Course. This was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony, nestled in the trees. As guests walked into the space, we had a live musician playing music, setting the mood for their romantic ceremony.
After the ceremony, guests went into cocktail hour, which was held in the same space. They were greeted with a champagne wall and passed appetizers. We continued with the live music from the ceremony to keep guests entertained. It really helped set the mood for the rest of the evening. For seating we had set-up a few different lounge areas, we used green and mustard velvet chairs and seating. This popped against all the trees. One unique thing that Claire and Austin did at their cocktail hour was their guest book. They used bottles of wine with different anniversary dates on them for guests to write well wishes on. This allows them to keep celebrating with guests every year, when they pop their anniversary bottle of wine.
The reception was held inside the golf course. For the room design, we focused on keeping it simple with a white and black colour palette. We brought in black Chiavari chairs, black smoked wine glasses, and black and gold cutlery to help bring their vision to life. We also repurposed their ceremony floral arrangements on the head table to maximize on the budget! As the designer I really wanted focused on their stationery details. I wanted to create pieces that would be timeless and that they would keep forever.
It would not be a summertime wedding without dreamy sunset shots. During the reception, they went outside for a bit and took the most beautiful sunset shots. This also allowed them to spend a few moments alone and let the day sink in. Claire even got a custom-made jean jacket with her new last name on it! We loved this super cute addition to their sunset shots!
