wedding :: alanna and ben

(photo credit: Blue Olive Photography)

Alanna and Ben's wedding was the last one of the 2009 season. As you can tell, I have been saving the wedding pictures for a while. This was partly due to me having trouble choosing just 5 images to show you and partly due to our summer hiatus. You have to admit though, that it was well worth the wait!


I am all for couples who think outside the box. Hot pink and black wedding colours? Love it! Pulled pork and BBQ ribs? Sure! Individual bibs for guests to wear which you can personalize with a sharpie? I think my heart just skipped a beat!


Lyndsay from Coco Cake Cupcakes made the cupcake wedding favours and the bride and groom made the cute little monkey wedding cake topper too!


The Flower Factory did an amazing job on the floral centerpieces!


Thank for all of the fun times! Wishing you lots of happiness in your new life together. Thanks so much for the opportunity to be a part of your special day!

wedding :: lisa + jon

We met Lisa and Jon through this couple and eventhough they were working and going to school in Florida for the entire wedding planning process, we had such a fantastic time. I came to the conclusion last night that weddings were sort of like break ups between the wedding couple and the coordinator. We spend all this time emailing back and forth and having coffee dates then the big day comes and although you remain friends, it's never the same.



A big thank you and congratulations to the new couple! You two were absolutely gorgeous and we wish you all the best in your new journeys.


Sakura Photography was on-hand to capture the entire wedding day, but thought it would be fine to take a few snapshots using the polarize application on the iphone.




Lisa and Jon had one of the most beautiful chuppah's I have ever seen. It was locally handmade and includes images of places that hold significant moments in their lives including Vancouver, Miami, Mexico, Guatemala and Israel.

indie i do vendors * rock * ... just saying

I'm spending part of the day catching up on both this blog and the one over at Got Craft. Head over there for all things crafty including our featured designer series every Monday or stay here for all things wedding and me related!

Here are a few snapshots taken from Tim and Cecilia's wedding at the Pan Pacific Hotel on Friday, May 29th. I love the colour combination of bright fushia with tangerine, but unfortunately, the colours didn't come through very well on my camera phone. You get the idea though .... fantastic couple + beautiful decor = dream wedding!


8th floor poolside terrace - it was HOT!


Floral arrangements by the Flower Factory


Lovely linens by Sweet Beginnings. Each guest received two folded paper cranes in their wine glass handmade by the wedding couple as well as a box full of chocolates.



Congratulations and all the best as you start your new life together!

Indie I Do was not only the first time we produced a wedding show, but it was the first time that we participated in a wedding show! I have to admit, there was some panic and drama regarding the display, but all's well that ends well.

Inspiration.. Vintage, clean, simple, DIY, thrift / upcycle, spring

congratulations to Krista & Matt

Despite the liquid sunshine all around us, we had a fantastic time in the middle of Capilano Suspension Bridge for Krista and Matt's wedding last Saturday!

Professional photos are on the way from the seven and a half months pregnant Morgaine Owens!

Lovely flowers were from the Flower Factory, Cupcakes were from Cupcakes, Chocolate and Caramel Apples from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and all decor was by lotus events.

A big thank you to all of the staff at Capilano Suspension Bridge. You were amazing! Plus, your whipped potatoes was to die for :)

Congratulations!! Have a safe trip to London, Paris and Amsterdam and we will see you when you return!

laura + tim

Laura and Tim were married on August 8th, 2008 - Congratulations!!

Here are a few quick pictures taken by me:



Bridal bouquets by the Flower Factory.



These altar arrangements from the Flower Factory blew me away. The picture doesn't do it justice.



Chair cover chaos - Thanks Holly and Charles for coming out and making the chairs look o so pretty!



Self portrait in the lobby.



This was one of the best guest books that I have ever seen at a wedding. Great twist to the polaroid!



Delish! Do you recognize the cake toppers from the last post?

A big thank you to Roseanne and the Flower Factory team, Masaki and Ed from HEE Creations, Paul, Maurice and Carmen from two in love, April from April Cakes, Jan and the HitMen from Musical Occasions for helping us make this day run so smoothly!
