Camrose Wedding Planner: Paige + Sean

February 2, 2018 by Joelle Tripp Leave a Comment

For those who don’t know me, I was born and raised in Camrose, Alberta so when Paige and Sean first got in touch with me about planning their wedding in Camrose I was ECSTATIC! Sean is the owner of the Norsemen Inn in Camrose so it was only fitting to host their big day in a space that was so near and dear to his heart. After a few meetings with these two, their vision was a lavish, elegant wedding reception that would completely revamp the Norsemen Inn’s banquet space into something it has never been before which you will certainly see as you scroll through their photos! The end result was absolutely extraordinary to the point where guests asked “Are we still in the Norsemen?” and “We’ve never seen this space so transformed!”…I’d say mission accomplished!

Paige + Sean’s ceremony was held at the Church of God by Pastor Brian Krushel where all of their closest family and friends sat in beautiful wooden church pews and witnessed their I do’s! 

An elegant wedding set with navy, ivory and gold accents including soft florals and lush greens to augment the remaining decor were the focus of this receptions design. A full perimeter draping in the reception was installed to soften the walls and brighten the space along with hanging string lights to create the delicate glow of being beneath the stars. Instead of using a traditional round or rectangle table seating plan we designed their guest tables in the shape of an “x” to maximize the floorspace and add a new level of dimension. In each “x’s” middle was an incredible four foot floral centrepiece to round off the luxurious elegance that we were after. Guest tables were dressed in rich ivory and navy sequin linens with gold beaded charger plates, flickering tea lights, and fresh garland greens.

Being that the Norsemen Inn has a microbrewery located in the hotel, guests sipped on Sean’s favourite brew the Longship Blonde Ale and Paige’s favourite cocktail, the Cosmopolitan Martini.  Friends of theirs had their own band called The Brown Paper Bags where guests flooded the dance floor all night long–to say this dance was bumpin’ would be a total understatement! Tracey and Mark with Crown Photography documented Paige + Sean’s wedding day magic so perfectly and we absolutely LOVE that they made time for Paige + Sean to spend a few private moments with one another in this beautiful space before all of their guests arrived. To Paige + Sean, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day, huge congratulations again to you both!

Red Deer Wedding Planner: Haley + Lucas

December 12, 2016 by Joelle Tripp Leave a Comment

We’ve all dreamt about it. The most beautiful outdoor wedding reception with the perfect tented wedding reception, a clear sky and warm sun to boot. Well I am here to tell you that Haley & Lucas’s wedding day was just that. On the Thursday before the wedding, Lucas and I were constantly on the Weather Network’s app watching the weather yo-yo between rain and sunshine. On the night before the wedding I said to Lucas “We really need to talk about Plan B for the ceremo—” “It’s not going to rain Joelle, don’t worry. Just trust me!” I threw my hands up in the air, said a little prayer to the weather gods and as you will see from their wedding photos below, the sun broke through the clouds and they had the most incredible day of weather for their special day!

Haley & Lucas had their first look pictures out in the park before their ceremony took place where they wrote one another a letter to read before they turned around— their reactions are absolutely priceless. Their ceremony took place underneath a beautiful maple tree in Coronation Park in Red Deer, AB. After they sealed their vows with a kiss and were introduced as the new Mr. & Mrs. Plamondon, their guests visited and played lawn games out in the park until the wedding reception began.

The few words that Haley & Lucas consistently used while we were in the planning process was that they wanted to have a ‘nature infused’ wedding. Between the eucalyptus leaves on guest tables, the wood seating cards, an outdoor venue and all the natural florals…Haley & Lucas hosted the most refreshing outdoor garden wedding 😉  The tented reception was held at Haley’s fathers residence where we were surrounded with foliage and a fresh summer breeze. Their guest tables were dressed in white linens with a grey table runner, candlesticks and fragrant greens trailing down the middle with beautiful hand written wood seating cards for each guest. Haley’s brother built these incredible pentagon’s that floated behind the head table against a lilac bush that were filled with candles and fresh greens. After their guests finished their dinner, they were treated to a milk & cookie bar with chilled white and chocolate milk and iced coffee for all to enjoy!

With all of my clients, it is always so wonderful to finally meet all of their families and friends after spending so much time with them planning their wedding day. Haley, Lucas and family, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this beautiful celebration! Congratulations to you both and may you carry the joy of that special day close to your heart as you journey the road of life together.
