“Some wedding weekends just stay with you, and from the moment we began planning with Sadie and Camil, we knew theirs would be one of them. With guests traveling in from all corners of the continent, our goal was to craft a warm, welcoming, and beautifully intentional experience the moment they arrived on Galiano Island. Their colour palette, a joyful sweep of soft neutrals, sunlit pastels, and vibrant citrus tones – set the tone for a weekend that felt playful, organic, and boldly elegant. Paired with the most cheerful, garden-inspired florals, it became one of the most fun design stories we’ve ever brought to life. Bodega Ridge served as the perfect home base, a tucked-away coastal retreat where guests could slow down, reconnect, and truly sink into the magic of the West Coast. Our team delivered welcome packages across the island, each filled with locally sourced BC favourites – complete with a hand-drawn map illustrated by our team to guide guests through the property and weekend events. It became such a sweet, personal touch that guests loved. One of our standout design moments was the seating chart: custom playing-card decks illustrated by the bride’s aunt, featuring nods to Bodega’s wildlife and landscape. It was charming, unexpected, and an unforgettable keepsake for every guest.”
