West Coast elegance meets vintage kitsch at this Canadian camp wedding

West Coast elegance meets vintage kitsch at this Canadian camp wedding

We both skateboard and the groom is a tattoo artist, while I’m a writer. We met at a celebration of life for a friend who was also a skateboarder and we honoured him in our speech and put his memorial board up on the wall.

The reception was at the Scout Camp so everyone was camping close by, but we were still hidden in the trees for dinner and dancing. A lot of touches were DIY and collected from favorite beaches.

This stunning tiny forest wedding takes backyard weddings up a level (with the cutest kitty!)

This tiny backyard wedding in East Sooke, BC was a labor of love planned in a short period of time. Lauren and Cohen love ink, cats, plants, and great vegan food, so their wedding reflected them perfectly. Don’t miss the epic forest-filled backyard (who has a backyard like this?!), seriously gorgeous vegan food spread, reception space filled with lush textures, and the real star of this show, their cat Yoshi.

Erin and Daniel chose to have just two witnesses and an officiant at their chic elopement in Vancouver. Their venue, the Roundhouse Community Centre, is intended for large weddings, so it ended up feeling very grand with only a few.

Erin and Daniel are both engineers, so they featured an antique multimeter and their toy robot.

The bride is Anishinabe and their community is in the Salish Sea, so this pair pulled from their communities for a meaningful ceremony focusing on the core: earth, energy, elemental, and potential. Their wedding was all about the core of connection. You’ll love it…

This amazing naturist island wedding had a nude first look

Darshan and Alex had a naturist island wedding that took our breath away. Cortes Island has long been a part of their life, with its pristine lakes, lagoons, forests, and seaside cottages. The pair met at a nude swimming hole about 13 years ago and chose to have their first look at the very same spot.
