Craigleith Ski Club Wedding
It’s always the sweet little touches that make a wedding truly shine – like the fact that couple Shannae and Sean exchanged vows at the same ski club where Sean spent vacations skiing with his family. Their wedding day was full of unexpected pops of fun, like the dove release during the ceremony, the sequined bridesmaid dresses, and the dramatic floral arrangements by Pink Twig Floral. Thank you Michael Rousseau for bringing your A game as always!
From the bride, Shannae: We decided to get married in Blue Mountain, Ontario at a Ski Club where my husband grew up skiing with his family and the venue (Craigleith Ski Club) had a rustic cabin feel to it so I wanted to replicate that in the look and feel of the wedding. We would describe the vision as rustic, mountains, glam, plum, gold.
Bouquet recipe: Plum Dahlias, seeded eucalyptus, white ohara garden rose, vibernum berries and “bridal pink” spray roses.
Any advice for couples planning their weddings now? Start a pinterest page with a board for every category or item that you need for your wedding and buy your dress and before seriously planning decor. The dress sets the tone of the evening and Pinterest will help you map out your day. Be present on the day of, take everything in. This sounds so cliche but I feel very grateful to have been given this advice and I’m thankful that I listened. I remember every moment and everything that happened on our wedding day and I am very grateful for that!

What a beautiful wedding, you made my ring box come to life.
Congratulations on such a beautiful wedding! I loved every moment of planning the wedding flowers with Shannae. She had a great vision in mind and we were able to really bring it to life using seasonal blooms with a rustic, secret garden style.
Thanks so much for choosing Pink Twig!
