Hi everyone! For Throwback Thursday, I wanted to share a very special wedding that I worked on with one of my favourite couples, Kimisha and Aja. They are the coolest people and I was incredibly happy to have had the honor of being their wedding day of coordinator.

12 Wedding Traditions You Want to Know About In Vancouver

December 6, 2018

As a Vancouver wedding planner for the last 7 years, I still get a good laugh when I tell my brides about the history and reasoning of each wedding tradition that we have today. The history of these wedding traditions are shocking to say the least! As I’m doing the research and writing this blog post, I can’t help but think to myself how ridiculous some of these traditions are!
