I am excited to share with you today Amanda + Lien’s refined rustic wedding! Their venue was at the super cute Sweet Haven Barn, a replica of an authentic 19th century barn. It has a very natural feel to it stained wood exterior and interior, surrounding wheat fields and is just a short drive away from some picturesque locations like Dry Island Buffalo Jump. The clean lines coupled with decorative chandeliers makes for the perfect balance between rustic and refined.

I love, love, love the colour combination they went with – with a mixture of pinks, sangria and terracotta. The rich combo is such a modern, feminine and romantic look. As a side note – this combo was one of the inspiration colour schemes for our previous blog post on “peach fuzz” being the colour of the year, you can read more about it here. To compliment the colour scheme, we kept the flowers a mixture of white and blush with accents of mocha and sage toned greenery.

Amanda, of course, looked sensational. Her wedding dress was stunning with the ornate floral lace, open back and her chapel length veil. I feel like she really nailed the timeless, understated elegance look. Her bouquet was a natural inspired hand tied bouquet of pink astilbe, mocha lisianthus (swoon!), creme brûlée phlox, cappuccino roses, quicksand roses (one of my favourite varieties), playa blanca roses and white sweet peas accented with bleached ruscus, gunni eucalyptus and olive branches for greenery. The stems were finished off with a simple satin wrap, and special attention to the touching little pin on photo charm. I love this detail.

Before we move on to the bridal party, I do have to give love to their adorable furry friend. I have a special place in my heart for golden retrievers. So sweet to be able to include lovable fur babies, that occupy such a big place in our hearts, on such an important occasion. Adorned in a floral collar, everyone would have known the VIP status of this guest.

While pup is a tough act to follow, their bridal party understood the assignment. As I have already mentioned, I love the colours of their dresses. They each must have been able to pick out their own gown as they all look perfectly suited to their dresses and colours. The accents of blush and mocha in their bouquets coordinated beautifully. They bouquets matched the bride’s bouquet, just slightly smaller in size.

Lien and his groomsmen all looked very dapper as well. Each of the men sported a “mini bouquet” styled boutonniere. Lien’s was a cluster of spray roses, mocha lisianthks, blush astilbe, gunni eucalyptus and bleached ruscus. The rest of the boutonnieres, while were slightly smaller, were all made to match.
