Description:
2022 spoiled Eastern Ontario with an abundance of gorgeous summer days. Kelly and Lucas chose the 30th of July to say their “I dos”, in a gorgeous ceremony at Kelly’s parents’ home in Perth, ON.
Kelly and Lucas, both from Perth, actually met while they attended the University of Guelph.
“We both knew who each other was, and had mutual friends, but we didn’t meet until we were at University.” They would become and remain friends during University and met up for a drink in Perth the year after they finished University. Kelly and Lucas began dating shortly after, in 2011.
When deciding on the flowers for their wedding, Kelly and Lucas worked with their wedding planner and Krista to set the airy and fun, but elevated tone that they envisioned for their wedding. “Though it was a backyard wedding, we wanted it to feel like a wedding and not just a backyard party.” For Kelly, the florals chosen would be key to executing this vision. The flowers that were selected include white larkspur, barista roses, white dahlia, pink carnations, white Majolica spray roses, white wax flowers, Vandella, salal, and ruscus.
One of the many personal touches that Kelly and Lucas included in their planning was making sure that their dog Kobe was a part of the wedding. “One of the personal touches in our wedding was our dog. Something I loved was the crown of greenery around his neck.” Kobe walked down the aisle and was a part of the ceremony, wearing a crown of seeded eucalyptus.
The final touch for the wedding flowers was the design of the archway, which Kelly and Lucas said their “I do’s” under. “I wanted an arch but wanted something unique. So I went on Pinterest to look at ideas and came across that shape. It was my brother who actually built and stained that for me. It was another really nice personal touch.” When discussing the flowers that would be included on the pieces, Kelly and Krista both agreed that the arrangement of the flowers on it would need to make a statement. Krista designed the arch pieces to make sure that they stood out against the trees and lush greens that lined the
property.
