Julia & Steve - Fabulous in Fernie
Julia grew up in Fernie, B.C. and knew that this was the only place to host her nuptials with her groom Steve. The two live in Boston so Julia and I became great phone conversationalists in the months leading up to her wedding. We spoke once a week for 60 minutes planning the extensive details of her wedding, only having met once before her wedding.
It was very important to the bride and groom that the beauty and vibrancy of Fernie be highlighted for all their out of town guests. Having lost her mother at a young age Julia’s father raised her and her sister in Fernie with a great love for the mountains and the two were award winning ski racers. Together with this family we pulled off a wedding that showcased what an amazing destination Fernie truly is. To start things off each guest was greeted with a welcome bag filled with maps, postcards, and Fernie Brewing Company glasses.
We brought in a tent from Vancouver that was an unbelievable sight (check out the tent going up here on our blog). When you’re working with a tent you need to create the floor map yourself which is what we did for this wedding. We also brought in all the rentals and flowers to create the soft color palette the bride desired. We worked with Lizard Creek Lodge to develop a “Nouveau BC cuisine” theme. The result was amazing and well received.
We assisted in planning and orchestrated the whole weekend of events that the bride and groom had planned including their rehearsal dinner and their morning brunch. Guests also went river rafting, golfing, and rode the chair lift to the top of the hill. Each element of this wedding was absolutely fabulous from the church, to the reception, to the light highlighting the tent at night. It was an amazing production.
