Love Notes

“Melissa was so awesome to work with!! She planned and designed my wedding to perfection. I was so unsure of where to even start and she made sure everything was going smoothly. She also made my job easy as the bride! I got to share my input and she handled everything else. A few days before the wedding I was a little nervous of how everything was going to go because there were so many things I didn’t think of and then of course I show up to the wedding and every single thing is taken care of. What a dream!! It was magical and the best day of my life! The ceremony set up…amazing!!”
– Devan + Dustin
“Melissa was amazing! She stepped in at the 11th hour after our original planner ran into some unforeseen circumstances and was not able to provide her services. From the first conversation, Melissa made us feel very comfortable and confident that she could execute our vision and aesthetic for our wedding. I wish we had signed on with her right from the beginning and utilized her design services as well as her attention to detail is unmatched. Thank you again for everything!!”
– Lindsay + Curtis

Fun facts

Do you travel for clients? If so, where?

Of course! While we are based in Calgary, AB we love travelling to Banff, Lake Louise, British Columbia and anywhere your heart desires.

Where do you find your design inspiration?

Truly everywhere. A building, a texture or a single flower could be the catalyst for the overall design. We pull elements from our couples' style and personality and infuse it with our own magic.

We personally love when we get to do a room reveal with our couples. It's a quiet moment for them to take everything in and seeing their joy and happy tears make us melt every time.
