• Beautiful details.⠀ ⠀ I love gorgeous bridal shoes for flatlay details. The more pieces and details you can gather for your wedding day, the more beautiful your flatlay photos will be! These photos elevate your album and help tell a complete story of your wedding day through photos.⠀ ⠀ Remember, include those sentimental objects for detail photos too! ⠀ ⠀ We always tell our brides to have a little box packed with all of your bridal details for your photographer/videographers.⠀ It makes it so much easier for them to grab when they arrive on site.⠀ ⠀ A few pieces we always suggest to include:⠀ -Rings (make sure they’re clean & extra sparkly!)⠀ -Your shoes⠀ -Perfume⠀ -Any jewelry⠀ -Loose florals ⠀ -Bouquet⠀ -Veil ⠀ -Hair pieces/pins⠀ -Vow books⠀ -Stationery suite⠀ -Ring box (if you’ve purchased one)⠀ ⠀ Many photographers have beautiful styling accessories, so be sure to ask your photog what he/she has!! I love spending the wedding morning styling your flatlay details, it’s so calming & inspiring. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Photo @stephaniemasonphotographyandco Styling & Florals @sinclairandcodesign Shoes @bellabelleshoes from @fairydreams.bridal

  • To all of those brides that should have been saying “I do” this weekend, I am thinking of you ❤️⠀ ⠀ We should be celebrating Mike & Kylene today, but we will be celebrating them extra next year! ⠀ ⠀ For anyone who has a little extra time to plan - think of those little details to add in to your special day. Think of including some sentimental elements into your day! ⠀ ⠀ I wrapped Katie’s bridal bouquet in this photo with a piece of her mom’s wedding dress. I LOVED this special detail & it added a little extra sparkle to her bouquet ✨⠀ ⠀ I love this photo of them sharing such a special moment. ⠀ That’s really what makes a wedding day; all of those special moments with your loved ones.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Photo @stephaniemasonphotographyandco Planning, Design & Florals @sinclairandcodesign Venue @stonefields_estate Hair @showponyhair Make up @ottawamakeupartists Dress @sindersbridalhouse

  • The design process of a wedding is one of my favourite aspects of the planning process. ⠀ ⠀ I love listening to our couples, asking questions about what they like to do together, what are some of their hobbies, favourite date night ideas. All of this information helps to learn more information about them that we can then apply to designing their wedding to be personal and really showcase their love story.⠀ ⠀ We collect a few inspiration images from our couples and then we put together a full design proposal; everything from stationery, to color palette, to floral centrepieces, to the dessert table. It’s a lot of fun and very rewarding to see it all come to life on a wedding day!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Planning, Design, Florals @sinclairandcodesign Venue @evermoreottawa ⠀

  • I miss this beautiful venue and all of the other lovely venues we have here in #Ottawa. I miss my team. I miss sharing laughter and working alongside other vendors throughout the wedding day. I miss sharing that special moment right before we send our bride down the aisle. I miss listening to those heartfelt speeches during dinner and watching everyone let loose during the dance party. ⠀ ⠀ I don’t think I had fully processed all of these rescheduled weddings until last weekend when we were supposed to be at the beautiful @stonefieldsestate celebrating with our lovely couple. Today, I’d be receiving a full floral order for another beautiful wedding this upcoming weekend and we’d be back into full wedding mode... ⠀ ⠀ It’s weird. It’s sad. It’s defeating. It’s definitely been an adjustment. ⠀ ⠀ 2020 was going to be an amazing season, we had so many beautiful weddings designed and planned with such sweet couples. It’s defeating as a business owner to have basically lost an entire wedding season but it’s also heartbreaking to be alongside my couples as they shift their plans. Plans that they had looked forward to for the past few years. I am so happy to be by their side during all of this. It’s comforting for me, just as much as it is for them. ⠀ We are navigating through postponing bigger weddings and regrouping to plan and design smaller, intimate ceremonies. I’m honestly loving the idea of having small ceremonies to celebrate their love this year. And of course, I am beyond excited to design lush, gorgeous floral arbours, aisle installations, and a bridal bouquet that will be very special.⠀ ⠀ There may have been many changes and disappointing moments this year, but nonetheless, we are going to have some gorgeous moments this year and I can’t wait! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Photo @stephaniemasonphotographyandco Venue @stonefields_estate

  • Wow the long weekend was exactly what I needed.⠀ A lot of sunshine, some time spent outside gardening, some relaxation time with my fave man, a few glasses of wine - it was perfect. ⠀ ⠀ Taking a break from work and away from my laptop was much needed. It’s going to be a busy week, I have a full inbox, contracts to send out, proposals to complete, and a few exciting 2021 phone consults! I can’t wait to hear all about their dreams for their big day. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Happy Tuesday! (it feels like Monday... lol) ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Photo @stephaniemasonphotographyandco Planning, Design, Florals @sinclairandcodesign Venue @stonefields_estate

  • Things have started to slowly open back up in #NovaScotia which is where I grew up, where my parents, sister and family are, where some of my best friends live and it has been giving me all kinds of emotions. ⠀ ⠀ I’ve seen photos of family members being able to hug their mamas, fathers, grandchildren, sisters and brothers and it made me sad. Sad that I am not there to hug my mom, dad, and sister. Sad that we can’t “bubble our household together”. But I am so happy for those loved ones who were reunited with their family and I hope everyone continues to stay healthy and safe! ⠀ ⠀ I can’t wait for that hug. That first hug with a family member, with a friend, with one of our brides, with other vendors. This has been a tough few months but we’re SO close. ⠀ ⠀ I know it’s going to be magical. ✨❤️⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Photo @terrilynnwarrenphotography Make up @selenamup
