Crystal Glam

Crystal Glam

When it comes to decor the Crystal Glam Bride is thinking one thing; sparkle.  But don’t mistake this bride for the pageant or gypsy type; she’s tasteful in her use of sparkle. She chooses sequin linens and dangles crystals from her oversized floral centerpieces. A great venue for this bride is the Delta Edmonton South. The Grande Ballroom boasts large chandeliers and an equally impressive square footage making it a great choice for a large guest list. Not to be out done; The Top Of The Inn attracts brides with it’s 12’ high window walls and a one of a kind starlit ceiling. This bride will keep the palette fairly neutral to balance all the bling. Her venue will get a romantic boost when this bride adds ambient candle light through out the space.

The exterior of this venue has an Art Deco feel which this bride is sure to optimize for photos. Ostrich feathers mixed with fresh flowers and tall candelabras are natural centerpiece choices for this bride. Her place settings are a combination of crystal stemware and metallic patterned china. Add in some mercury glass candle holders; and tablecloths in deep, rich tones with European inspired prints to complete this Twenties era look.

Classic Vintage

Classic Vintage Decor

The classic vintage bride will be looking for natural light, detailed windows, and Windsor valences with gold accents to compliment her look.

Hotel Macdonald is the quintessential venue for this vintage bride. With deep rooted history and original Waterford china pattered ceilings. However, if you are looking for local charm than Fort Edmonton Park is a place where time has stopped and you can experience your wedding day as if it was 1885. If you are looking for southern charm than MaGrath Mansion is the perfect ceremony site or convocation hall for its exposed brick detail.

Details such as old jars, lace, pearls, and stationary complete this look.

Old timers cabin is perfect, with their large brick fireplace and light fixtures while venues like Country Lodge and Blue Meadows Halls offer gorgeous outdoor space complete with wheat fields and horses.

Decor items such as mason jars and wood chiavaris tied with burlap will complete this wedding style.

The Edmonton Petroleum Club offers a great venue for a Bold Romantic wedding reception, with its elegant stone work, dark panelling and chandeliers it creates the perfect setting for a candle light reception.

Dress up the space with a deep red garnet pintuck linen, black chiavari chairs and top the guest tables off with an ornate candelabra with a red rose floral touch. Or venture outside the dark palette and let some gold in with your centrepiece, chairs and chargers.

What’s Your Wedding Style? Modern Attire

Modern Urban Attire
Urban Modern Wedding Attire

What does this couple have that no other couple has? Swag. This wedding attire is youthful and fun, but never at the price of style. The bride and groom are quintessentially “cool” and take every liberty to use fashion as a means of portraying who they are. The bride takes regular fashion cues from Whitney Port, Marion Cotillard and Nicole Richie and keeps her eye on the latest runway collections. But, don’t be fooled; this groom is equally interested in lookin’ fresh. While he’s not Googling the “What’s Hot” fashion lists, he is very aware of his personal style and owns it with confidence. Both the bride and groom are fashion savvy and experiment with trends. Never afraid to dress outside the box, even for what many consider a traditional ceremony, the urban couple takes full advantage of this occasion as their macro fashion moment.

Bold Modern Wedding Attire

Three little words. Suit and tie. This is the essence of bold and minimal. While most brides gluttonously feed on all of the attention at any other wedding, the bold minimalists boast a breathtaking groom. He doesn’t need the attention; it just happens. Bridesmaids and groomsmen are pristine and tailored in sleek, clean lines of black, white or grey. This bride never tries too hard. She is the epitome of, “when you got it, you got it.” She carries herself with such poise that a striking groom is her best and only necessary accessory. Bringing us full circle to that suit and tie. Preach it, Timberlake.

What’s Your Wedding Style? Eclectic Attire

Vibrant Eclectic
Vibrant Eclectic Attire
The vibrant personality of this eclectic bride shows in her style for her big day. Proof of this is in her old fashioned hair and her modern coloured dress. Letting each bridesmaid personality show with different style of dresses and shoes, even mixing prints and solids. Hand stitched hankies make a great gift that will wipe away the tears of joy.

This is where the earthy eclectic bride’s feminine side comes out, choosing a simple flowing dress with feathers or fresh water pearl accessories. She keeps it natural with hair and makeup and won’t forget her signature floral perfume. The groom is a masculine balance paring traditional trousers with a printed bow tie and suspenders.

What’s Your Wedding Style? Glamorous Attire

Crystal Glam Glam Wedding Attire 

Whether she dawns a dramatic mermaid style gown or a full skirted princess ball gown, the Crystal Glam Bride is sure to turn heads on her wedding day.  Her favorite dresses are from designer Pnina Tornai whose signature pieces combine luxurious fabrics with Swarovski crystals for a truly couture look.  Pairing a simple polished updo and Kardashian inspired make up will give her that classic glam feeling.  She will complete her ensemble with a statement necklace and pair of fabulous shoes.  The Groom and his men are likely to be in traditional tuxedos in keeping with the formality of occasion.  Floor length dresses are a must for the bridesmaids, and why not full sequins?

Vintage Glam
Vintage Wedding AttireYou won’t find the Vintage Glam Bride in a big poufy frock on her wedding day.  This bride gravitates more to the feminine, flowing, curve skimming pieces of designer Jenny Packham.  To give her look the authenticity of the 1920s she will pay close attention to the details.  Dresses with ornate beading, a fur or feathered shawl, and a cap veil paired with deep red lips will put her perfectly back in time.  Historically her groom would be in a top hat and tails but in a more modern era a tuxedo and bow tie certainly fit the bill.  Bridesmaids will show some leg in knee length dresses.  They’ll pair deep jewel tones like ruby and emerald with metallic accents and a signature string of pearls.

Bold Romantic Attire

Bold Romantic AttireA bold romantic bride’s wedding attire will have classic elements mixed with daring style.  A classic solitaire ring with a multi diamond accent wedding band is a perfect example of this. Paired with a lace gown featuring  a red or black belt like the Blue by Enzoani dress above from Pure Bridal and a classic up do garnished with a decorative headpiece give the bold romantic bride a quintessential appeal. Throw splashes of colour in your flowers, flower girl dress and with accents in the groom’s and groomsmen tuxes. Be bold and make your wedding shoes pop with a crimson red colour, making for great wedding detail photos; and continue the eye catching romantic theme in your bridal party by adding lace accents in your bridesmaid dresses. Finally, although not considered attire, having romantic heart shaped custom monogram cookies will have your guests licking their lips; you can find cookies like these at Edmonton’s own Cookie Love bakery.

What’s Your Wedding Style? Modern

Modern Urban Bride What's Your Wedding Style? Modern Urban

Like the hustle of a metropolitan, a modern urban wedding is full of energy, life and momentum. It is exciting and unpredictable, much like the bride herself. She is inspired by art and architecture. Fashion and food are key elements of her wedding, just as they are in major cities. Her regular playlist is fun and dynamic, but holds a common thread of authenticity from Ellie Goulding to Santigold to Kendrick Lamar. She loves social interaction and her wedding embraces that. This wedding is a true party.

Modern Bold Minimalist Bride
What's Your Wedding Style? Modern Bold MinimalismThe bold minimalist bride subscribes to the less is more philosophy. However, her “less” is made up of unparalleled quality. Never compromising her standard of style, she opts for clean lines and structure that highlight one or two statement pieces to carry an outfit or room décor. She is drawn to black and white colour palettes. Her speakers plays anything melodic from Purity Ring to Frank Ocean. She loves Club Monaco and chooses a (quality) black Americano. No cream. No sugar. No fuss. Just the pure stand-alone taste.
