Give people good, clear directions and then trust them to come through. By entrusting things in others, you lose a bit of control, which is a good thing. It was also a good way to involve people as we didn’t have a bridal party, and in the end it felt like everyone had a stake in it. We have a lot of talented people in our lives and we were able to spread tasks among them so it wasn’t all on a small group. We asked our friends and family to do a lot, and every single person rose to the occasion. Alex loved it instantly! Any wedding planning advice you’d like to share?
We found a small boutique we liked near our house and went there one day to talk about having a dress made for Alex, and the mustard dress was on the rack. She wanted to wear a jumpsuit but couldn’t find one, so the dress stuck (also she liked it a lot). Anna wandered into the wedding section at Anthropologie tipsy and it was the first dress she tried on. We both wore jewelry from each of our grandmothers and our looks reflected our personal styles: Anna’s was a little more classy, and Alex’s was a little more bold & bright. We didn’t want to have a look that felt too ‘traditional’ or gendered, and we didn’t want to both be wearing white dresses so we went from there. Let’s talk about your wedding day fashion! For the reception, Alex’s parent’s home was an easy choice because the property is so beautiful and lends itself to a homey backyard party vibe. Picton is a place we’ve been going to for years and we’ve always loved it there. We were looking for an outdoor, relaxed setting by a lake, and it fit. Lake on the Mountain is such a magical place, so it was an easy decision for the ceremony. We both love hosting beautiful meals and gatherings and wanted the day to feel like people were in our home. We just wanted things to feel comfortable, relaxed, and beautiful. We wanted to feel close to everyone there and have our wedding be a balance of both of our personalities and identities. What was most important to you when planning your wedding? They successfully blended Jewish, Catholic, American & Canadian traditions in a wedding celebration I won’t soon forget. Alex & Anna live in Seattle, but they decided to host an intimate Prince Edward County wedding at Alex’s parent’s home in Picton, Ontario.
