A Beautiful Backyard Wedding that Blended Elegance, Intimacy and Traditions
Hudson, our own little slice of the Eastern Townships juuust outside of Montréal – the perfect place for an intimate and elegant wedding! Taylor and the girls got ready at the Willow Inn, where she did her first look with Zack and her father. Taylor wowed at the ceremony in her 3D lace Satina Bridal gown. Zack, dapper as ever in his classic black tuxedo and bow tie. After taking couple portraits around the Willow Inn, we made a pit stop at the adorable Mikko Cafe before heading off to a private home for the ceremony and reception.
The home was basically a venue, it was stunning! Flanked by an incredible flower garden, and an extravagant chuppah decorated with beautiful flowers and greenery by Paul from Fleurs des Jardins, the families blended traditions in such moving unity and read the Seven Blessings from their seats – it was powerful and emotional.
The cocktail and reception was under a magical Sperry tent, where the decorative highlight of the night was a breathtaking chandelier and hanging greenery centerpiece designed and created by Erika Ludwick at Melica Events and Paul. I’ve been doing weddings for nearly a decade and I’ve never seen anything so original and exquisite.
The vibe all day and night was just so elegant and tasteful – a small glimpse of what forever will look like for these two lovebugs!
