We were hired as the wedding planners to help Alaya and Matt bring their country tented wedding to life, on the bride’s parents’ farm in Bowmanville.
The bride had a very specific idea of what she wanted in terms of the decor. A clear-top tent, vintage glass and informal country florals. And it turned out spectacularly!
The weather was perfect for this mid-June wedding.
The ceremony was set to place on the front porch of the farmhouse:

Centerpieces consisted of trios of single flowers in vintage glass bottles that were varying colours:
