Inspiration

A Modern Western Wedding in Ponoka, Alberta

From the Creative Team:

On a breathtaking late summer evening in August, real-life couple Mckenzie and Tyson came together for a captivating modern western shoot at the newly unveiled Westwood Estates. This charming venue offers a perfect blend of rustic elegance with a contemporary twist.

The theme for this shoot was Western Luxe—a unique fusion of desert chic and country garden aesthetics. Blue Door Florals brought the vision to life with an artful arrangement that mixed succulents and premium botanicals. It created an elevated floral design that captured desert charm and garden whimsy. Instead of the traditional muted wedding palette, the florals embraced bold, juicy citrus tones. Bursts of striking blue for contrast added a fresh and exciting vibe to the classic Western wedding theme.

For the bridal look, Antonette Artistry created a sultry yet elegant makeup style that complemented the luxe, romantic feel of the shoot. Mckenzie wowed in not one but two stunning outfits. For the ceremony, she wore a breathtaking lace gown by Evie Young, hand-selected from Hello Beautiful Boutique. The intricate lacework and flowing silhouette gave the look a timeless yet modern appeal. For the reception, Mckenzie switched things up with a playful and flirtatious mini dress by Heirloom Bridal Company. It showcased her fun, fashion-forward side.

Tyson’s attire was equally impressive, featuring two custom-tailored suits from Jensens Mens Wear. He began the shoot in a classic navy suit, stylishly paired with a bolo tie for that Western flair. For the reception, he made a bold statement in a spontaneous lilac suit. A funky floral lapel piece completed the look, It perfectly embodied the Western Luxe theme with a creative twist.

The celebration continued with carefully curated beverages and a dazzling champagne tower by Tipsy Tays Bartending. Mckenzie and Tyson indulged in decadent, handcrafted tarts from Wildflour Bakery, adding a touch of sweetness to the day. From the chic stationery by Hartree Designs to the elegant jewelry designed by Sonja Deklerk, every detail brought a fresh and luxurious twist to country weddings.

This styled shoot is sure to inspire couples looking to add a modern and luxurious twist to the classic country wedding aesthetic. Whether it’s the bold colour palette or the charming mix of desert and garden vibes, this shoot at Westwood Estates serves as a testament to the endless possibilities of Western wedding style.
