I love showing off the work of some of my favourite vendors out there, and today's feature highlights the exceptional talents of floral + wedding designer, Lauren Wiebe of Stone House Creative and fine art film photographer Brittany Mahood, both of whom I had a chance to meet in person last year in Manitoba. Lauren has provided her vision for the shoot seen here, so I'll just go ahead and let her share that with you...
Read MoreThis ultimate bohemian wedding for Brittany + Myles is both personal and packed with a blend of boho and eclectic details. Made from scratch jam-filled jars for the guests, a macrame ceremony backdrop, woodland portraits of bridesmaids in flowing white and groomsmen who looked like they just stepped off an LP cover for a 70's classic rock band,...

It's one of the few spots in the area that offer something of an old-world or European feel on such a grand scale,...
Read MoreAside from the fact that I love everything about this shoot from the fresh, vibrant produce to the rustic wood cutting board, to the elegant yet understated serving ware and display pieces, what I appreciate most is that there is a strong sense of heritage without any one piece (or the entire ensemble) screaming 'vintage'.
