Royal Blue Fall Wedding

I had the pleasure of planning this special August wedding for P & S. Like many of my clients, they welcomed me into their lives from engagement party to rehearsal dinner. I really felt like I knew them personally.


Not only were they warm and inviting, they were so easy to work with and trusted my professional opinion and advice. The minute I met them, I envisioned navy blue as the foundation marrying various shades of orange and pink colours - playing with various flowers that soften and romanticized the decor.




This wedding was unique in that it was hosted at the Royal College of Physicians which housed a beautiful room (formally a monastery) for both the ceremony and reception. The spacious area right outside the room sported a bright skylight and marble floors to which guests enjoyed cocktails. What made this unique was that the College is not open to the public to host private events - everything (from chairs and tables to linens and decor) was brought on site.

Navy Blue Inspiration

One of my favourite wedding colour inspirations for 2011 has been navy blue. It is such a warm and regal colour that boast sophistication.

These are some inspiration boards created for a lovely couple who were married in August. These boards were developed for them to ensure we had a vision when we started the wedding planning process.

By adding several tones of fuchsia, orange and greens in contrast to the picture perfect navy blue base. The wedding decor was not only beautiful but suitable for the first ever wedding hosted at the Royal College of Physicians here in Ottawa. And it enhanced the blue stained glass windows that radiated the room for the ceremony.

Can't wait to share the professional photos from this August wedding...already miss this couple!
