When Ann-Lori told me that she commissioned Stacey from The Design Co. to design and plan her wedding, I was all sorts of giddy.  Bringing one of Ottawa’s premier wedding planning and floral design teams to create Ann-Lori’s vision from scratch was her dream come true.  Elegance and luxury meets tropical and urban.  This combination is so unique and different and The Design Co. nailed it!  

When the bride walked down the aisle in her flowing Hayley Paige from White Satin Bridal, Ryan couldn’t help but let down a waterfall of tears.  They had a number of their friends sing beautiful worship songs and play live music for all to sing along too.  I was floored by their talent!

A musical-filled ceremony was followed by quite the swanky reception.  Ann-Lori and Ryan chose to have their reception at the All Saints Event Space, a historic church re-imaged as an urban space in downtown Ottawa.  With it’s cathedral high ceilings, stained-glass windows, and old wooden accents, Stacey transformed this urban space into the most elegant, lively affair.  Lush green centrepieces paired with bright tropical flowers.  Tall glass candles, gold rimmed wine glasses and blue goblets lined the long harvest tables.  Let’s not forget the added touch of matte gold cutlery and a desert table that you’ll be drooling over for days.

Thank you, Ann-Lori and Ryan, for giving us the opportunity to get to know you and your family and for celebrating your union. 

Ladies and gentlemen, this wedding is a MUST-SEE!  Go on and scroll down to get glimpses of my favourite photos of this special day.  Full wedding vendor list of all those who made this happen is at the bottom.
