WE MET…" at a house party in Ottawa in 2012. One of my closest friends was seeing someone I hadn't met. When we got there, she said 'see that guy in the grey shirt, that's who I am seeing!'. I looked over and saw Joe, in a grey shirt and thought WOW, lucky gal! About 20 minutes passes and she's mingling with ANOTHER guy in a grey shirt...phew! Game on." 

IN 10 YEARS WE WON’T FORGET…"the most enchanting wedding in the rain in the woods."

ONE WORD. MY DRESS MADE ME FEEL…"Magical. I wanted something that really showed my style, something unique, modern and a little bit edgy. We were planning an outdoor wedding, so I knew I wanted something with a bohemian feel. I had so many dresses in line to try on on that day, and this dress happened to be the first one I put on… And I just knew! I didn't even have to try the others on. It made me feel like Stevie Nicks and a bohemian goddess! There was no other dress I had any emotion with except for this one - I honestly felt the details represented me in every little way. The floral lace was quite classic, and the dramatic bell sleeves were creative and unique. I feel like that shows my real personality, primarily as an artist.

I love this dress so much; I saved the pieces left over from the alternations and made some macrame, and wrapped some gifts with them. I am thinking about making it a tapestry."

 

SHOPPING TIPS FOR LOVERSLAND BRIDES…"Try on things you never envisioned! I think the dress you choose is often something you never thought you would like. I never knew what I actually wanted and needed to even try on many dresses to know what I definitely didn't want - which is important, too!"

Any wedding horror stories? I actually peed on my dress train before the first look haha. It was also an outdoor wedding and it rained the entire day with no backup plan. But it was nothing short of amazing!
