It might seem crazy to be sharing a holiday Real Wedding in August but for couples planning their December weddings, now is the perfect time to share inspiration and decor details! Jean and Alberto snuggled up and said “I Do” at the beautiful Fairmont Banff Springs, and the entire day was captured by Orange Girl Photographs. Find out more what the photographer had to say about this wedding after the jump!
Jean and Alberto held a stylish and romantic destination mountain wedding that started off by inviting their guests to go dog sledding with them as the perfect introduction to their Canadian winter wedding. They created a cozy candlelit feeling for their wedding ceremony and reception held at The Banff Springs known as the Castle in the Rockies. They timed it so that guests could enjoy that beautiful blue glow of a mountain dusk in winter through the stained glass windows with the amber glow of twinkly lights and candles keeping everyone cozy inside. Their long table reception was breathtaking and created an intimate vibrant dinner party with a lively dance party taking place under the 30 foot Christmas tree following dessert.
Every guest was given a pair of Canada mittens on their arrival and a selection of Jean’s famous Seattle Chocolates to welcome them. Their clever favour boxes included their family names that would now bring families together and their wedding date tied up beautifully with a big red bow. An overpouring candy bar featuring some of Jean’s candies was open to their guests to enjoy alongside a piece of wedding cake. Jean and Alberto understood how to create an ambiance of romance and style. The team from LFW Weddings brought Jean and Alberto’s vision to life. I was thankful to Lynn of LFW Weddings who at the last possible moment brought in 6 amber lights to shine down on the long table that made it all glow! It was gorgeous.
