Jessica met her husband, Chris in the most serendipitous of ways, introduced by mutual friends on a boat in Coal Harbour to watch the annual fireworks show. Sparks flew that night in more ways than one. From that moment, they became inseparable.
When it came time to choose their wedding venue, they knew they wanted something classic and elegant, inspired by the glitz and glamor of the Gatsby era. They fell in love with The Sandpiper Resort, a charming and secluded venue nestled right along the river, complete with a grand, historic inn on the property.The setting provided just the right vintage vibe, offering an air of timeless sophistication that perfectly complemented their vision.
Looking back, our bride shared that her favourite part of the wedding day was, well, all of it! The day felt like pure magic, and they were overjoyed to have captured it all on video, thanks to a last-minute decision to hire a videographer. Now, each time they watch the footage, they’re transported right back to those enchanting moments, reliving every cherished feeling.
Jessica wore the Raciela Gown by Atelier Pronovias, a stunning creation in luxurious crepe. The gown features a built-in corset that beautifully enhances her figure and extends into an elegant, sweeping train. The off-the-shoulder details add a touch of romance, perfectly completing the look. She created another look with our custom embroidered gloves, featuring her and her new husband's initials for a unique, personalized touch.
Her advice for other brides searching for their perfect gown? “Try everything that's recommended, even if you don't like it on the rack.” Finding the dress is often about the unexpected, and sometimes it’s the gown you wouldn’t have chosen at first that ends up taking your breath away.
