A Look Inside Our 2026 Wedding Season
February set the tone for 2026.
From the incredible energy at the Wedding Fair to our first celebration of the year on Valentine’s Day, we’ve been reminded exactly why we do this. The butterflies before the ceremony. The quiet final touches before guests arrive. The packed dance floors that somehow feel both electric and intimate.
With so many new faces joining our community recently, we wanted to share a glimpse of what’s inspiring us this season.
(We keep our clients’ details sacred — but here’s what we can say.)
Mountain Weddings with Bold Personality
We’ll be spending a lot of time in Kananaskis and Banff this year — and these aren’t your typical mountain weddings.
We’re seeing inspiration drawn from:
Secret garden romance
Watercolour landscape palettes
Stained glass hues layered into florals
Disco cowgirl meets Western Vogue
Mountain settings can lean rustic. Ours are leaning editorial.
Unexpected colour stories. Elevated textures. Immersive guest experiences that feel transportive, not themed.

Restaurant Weddings Are Having Their Moment
We are seeing more restaurant weddings this year than ever — and we are here for it.
There is something magnetic about hosting your celebration in a space designed for gathering. Think:
Long, candlelit dinners
Extended cocktail hours with chef-driven menus
Signature cocktails that tell the couple’s story
Dance floors that start with trays of Shafts being passed
It feels like a dinner party — just elevated. Intentional. High-energy. Refined without being rigid.
A Rocky Mountain Bride Moment
Last year, we collaborated with Milton Photos on a styled shoot that will be featured in the Spring/Summer print edition of Rocky Mountain Bride.
Holding back on sharing has been hard — but this one feels special.
Being published isn’t just about the feature. It’s a reflection of thoughtful design, strong collaboration, and a shared creative vision. We cannot wait to finally show you.

What 2026 Is Really About
Yes, the venues are beautiful, the design inspiration is exciting. But what truly fills our hearts are the couples.
At the Wedding Fair, we met so many newly engaged pairs telling us their origin stories — how they met, what they love about each other, what they’re most excited for.
We take detailed notes during those first conversations. And after each wedding, we re-read them. Almost every time, we cry — because their story unfolded exactly as it was meant to. It was told through design, music, guest experience, and atmosphere. The wedding becomes the physical expression of their relationship.
That’s what we’re most excited about.
Looking Ahead
This season also feels different in the best way.
We are stepping into larger design budgets, open bars that keep the energy flowing, and multi-day wedding experiences that allow couples to truly host — not just entertain.
Rehearsal dinners with intention.
Welcome parties with personality.
Farewell brunches that linger.
Fewer weddings. Deeper design. More immersive celebrations.
2026 is about going bigger — but more importantly, going deeper.
If you’re dreaming of a mountain celebration in Banff or Kananaskis, or an intimate, design-forward restaurant reception filled with storytelling and energy, we would love to explore it with you.
Our calendar is intentionally limited each season so we can give every couple the depth of care and creativity they deserve.
And if February was any indication — this is going to be a beautiful year.
