Every time I have the honour of working at Blaylock Mansion it feels new and exciting. This stunning heritage mansion set in the lake-side hills of the beautiful West Kootenays has an incredible ability to transform itself over and over again with each wedding's unique aesthetic. Sophie and Kyle's timeless, elegant wedding was no different.
This was my first time at Blaylock Mansion seeing both the wedding ceremony and reception held on the property's lovely 'upper lawn'. I thought it was an inspired change of pace and an excellent use of the property. And can we just take a second to mention how stunning the florals were? Bella Flora really knocked it out of the park-- as per usual. Following Sophie and Kyle's moving personal vows, guests were invited to partake in lawn games and cocktails, while being serenaded by an incredible string duo. Dinner was served 'family style' and provided by Nelson's incomparable 'Alligator Pie' catering. I think we can all agree that the dessert table, with it's macarons, mini tarts, cupcakes, bite-sized lemon merengue pies, and show-stopping cake was a mouth-watering centrepiece to it all! I'd expect nothing less from Starbird Bakehouse. Of course, none of this set up could have been possible without the work & know-how of Wink Wink Events. All in all, an incredible event for an incredible couple, hosted by some of the Kootenays most talented wedding vendors. It was a privilege to be part of it all! |
