This too shall pass. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The virus. The no wedding rule. Norahs teething. Her sleep regression. Your own personal shit storm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we get to the other side, we’ll be stronger. Individually and as a community. Because we know better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I imagine weddings will be filled with more intention and mindfulness. And I’m so ready for that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After all of this, simplicity and a little “undone-ness” will be a welcomed approach to how we execute our weddings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #victoriaweddingplanner #victoriaweddings #victoriaweddingflorist #vancouverislandwedding #yyjwedding #pnwweddings #victoriabcweddings #victoriaflorist (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-PiuifDADL/?igshid=1un84kd8cokqc

I used to LOVE Halloween. 🎃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Isn't it funny how the rest of the year we preach to each other about being ourselves and authenticity but on Halloween the point is to literally be someone else? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sure, it's fun...but isn't it exhausting? 😴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So anyway, here's a photo of me in my element, authentically doing what I do best. 🌸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's your take on Halloween? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo @shantalmariecreative Dress gifted from @pinkblushmaternity @shoppinkblush #victoriaweddingplanner #victoriaweddings #victoriaweddingflorist #vancouverislandwedding #yyjwedding #pnwweddings #victoriabcweddings #victoriaflorist #floralforever #flowerstohold #bloomsandberries #blossomseason #weddingbouquets #craftfloraldesign #floraldesigns #celebrationtime #celebratelife #celebrateyourday #celebrateandgather #gatheringslikethis #gatherings #gathertogether #pinkblushmaternity #pregnant #pregnancy #firstpregnancy #thirdtrimester #maternity #maternityoutfit #babyshower (at Oak & Vine Estate) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SjWaUHwBM/?igshid=sfjdxj2ovxt9

Even more fall vibes because when I took Ollie out to pee this morning, I could see my breath! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And since this entire photo is sooooo dreamy, I couldn't help but reshare. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the studio this week with a wedding tomorrow, my own baby shower on Saturday and Thanksgiving dinners+ Thanksgiving arrangments for Sunday and Monday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This was one of my favourite fall palettes, but I'm also excited to show you the colour scheme for my fall baby shower! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From a fall styled shoot with @allyallisonphotography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #victoriaweddingplanner #victoriaweddings #victoriaweddingflorist #vancouverislandwedding #yyjwedding #pnwweddings #victoriabcweddings #victoriaflorist #floralforever #flowerstohold #bloomsandberries #blossomseason #weddingbouquets #craftfloraldesign #floraldesigns #thefloralexperience #thefloralseasons #underthefloralspell #fallvibes #fallingleaves #autumnvibes #autumniscoming #fallingforfall #falldecor #fallfashion #autumncolors #autumnwatch (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cTDUZnQsY/?igshid=conq030l7czs

Want to plan an intentional wedding? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Being mindful is the first step to planning your wedding with intention. In order to have an intention, you must be present and aware of your true desires. Being mindful isn't just step one, it's also with you throughout your entire wedding planning journey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Many brides are so busy thinking of the end results (their wedding day), they forget to enjoy the process of planning. That often ends up leading to post-wedding depression. And that makes complete sense. We put so much emphasis on that one day and the results it will have, that when it's over we feel sad and bored. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Practicing mindfulness throughout the planning process teaches us to be present and in the moment. When the wedding day is over, we are still present and evoked in each moment of our life so we naturally transition to the next stage, marriage. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And marriage is a beautiful mess. It's fun, exciting, adventurous, chaotic, hard, teamwork, sad, uplifting, gut-wrenching. Your marriage will be a combination of many different feelings, triumphs, and letdowns. That's what makes it beautiful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo @shantalmariecreative ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #victoriaweddingplanner #victoriaweddings #victoriaweddingflorist #vancouverislandwedding #victoriabcweddings #victoriaflorist #floralforever #flowerstohold #bloomsandberries #blossomseason #weddingbouquets #floraldesigns #thefloralexperience #thefloralseasons #underthefloralspell #startwithwhy, #theartofslowliving, #livemoremagic, #livethelittlethings, #thehappynow, #doitfortheprocess #theslowdowncollective #thatvelvetfeeling #daysofsmallthings #awakethelight #simpleandstill #thesweetlifeunscripted #themindfulapproach#tinytinymoments #folkandstory (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2fEn_bHcdN/?igshid=1lcx0c3acjoi2

I’m not sure if there is anything sweeter than a “first look” photo. ⠀⠀ I’m so glad this is becoming more and more popular. Not because of the photo opportunity alone, but because it makes SO much more logistical sense to have your wedding photos done before the ceremony, opening up a ton of time for you to actually spend with your guests when you *ahem* actually attend your own cocktail hour. ⠀⠀ Photo by @kellybrownphoto ⠀⠀ #victoriaweddingplanner #victoriaweddings #victoriaweddingflorist #vancouverislandwedding #yyjwedding #pnwweddings #victoriabcweddings #victoriaflorist #floralforever #flowerstohold #bloomsandberries #blossomseason #weddingbouquets #craftfloraldesign #floraldesigns #thefloralexperience #thefloralseasons #underthefloralspell (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2CWC_vH1xJ/?igshid=1a2mppry1go61
