WONDERFUL WEDDINGS

WE'RE BACK AND IT'S

t's been a long road but there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel for wedding vendors and couples who have been waiting eagerly to start wedding planning again.

This issue of Wonderful Weddings is a celebration of everything wedding and more. After what has transpired since COVID-19, couples are shifting to create weddings that reflect their personalities and true core values. Our desire for human connection again has led to a trend for more relaxed weddings, with less focus on formalities and more focus on having fun.

On pages 9 to 13, creative director, Yoko Chapman, elaborates on these trends and the importance of diversity and inclusion. Her tips on Creating Your Own Wedding Style Guide will also help give your wedding some personality!

Get the Look on pages 14 to 19, proves that there are no rules when it comes to style. Whether your style is romantic, contemporary, or vintage-inspired, just let your personality shine.

Our City Chic urban-inspired fashion editorial on pages 30 to 41 took us to the streets of Winnipeg’s Exchange District.

From pretty, off the shoulder flutter sleeves, to thigh high slits and flowing sleeves with attitude, these looks are everything and more.

And congratulations to our Real Weddings couples on pages 43 to 47. These couples prove that love truly does conquer all.

his section of the magazine has always been about planning and personalizing your special wedding details, and introducing you to our city's extensive offerings of seasoned, creative, and talented wedding professionals. Now, more than ever before, there’s not just a trend towards planning with creativity‒we have been thrust by a powerful driving force to pivot, adapt, and flourish in these ever-changing times, and to seek out alternative and creative solutions to celebrate together in any way possible. This has opened the floodgates for many people to relax their expectations, and to accept things that are a bit different or alternative. Your options for planning your wedding your way have never been more bountiful, and we live in a world where we have learned to expect the unexpected. This is your chance to introduce exciting new ideas to your friends and family.

This is the time to invent your own traditions and live your best life. From formal luxury, to a relaxed feel, there’s something for everyone and anything goes.

There is an undeniable shift towards supporting wedding vendors that are local, and who represent couples’ personal core values, communities, culture, lifestyle, belief systems, and support diversity and inclusion. Allyship with vendors has become increasingly more important, especially for those who identify as part of an underrepresented group.

I got involved with the Wonderful Wedding Show 22 years ago where I attended as a wedding stationery vendor.

Back in the day, if you wanted a custom alternative, you only had black ink, white or ivory paper, and a few dozen system fonts to work with. There were no big box craft stores, e-Commerce websites, hi-tech scrapbooking tools, mobile design apps or software, so you had to get seriously creative. My, how times have changed‒and both literally and metaphorically‒we now have access to the moon and the stars, and every colour in the rainbow!

This year’s Get the Look features are merely a small sampling but still represent the dramatic spectrum of styles and influences that reflect couples’ individual personalities in 2022. Here you’ll see designs ranging from decadent, regency inspired, to modest, simple elegance, from bold bursts of colour, to subtle, muted earth tones, and a mighty injection of culture, personal taste, and lifestyle. As a creative director, I have been involved in event planning, styling, photography, decorating, fashion and publishing, and I have seen our industry evolve and reinvent many times over. I have been able to explore and discover all our city has to offer for over two decades and one thing I’m sure of is that the options are endless.

Often times, weddings can be so structured with planned elements right down the last second. Allow yourselves and your guests to fully soak up and enjoy every moment in a relaxed setting, with "the unexpected" being your only expectation. Let the day unfold organically and truly cherish your special moment. And, most of all, make lasting memories and celebrate your unique personalities and your time with each other.

INCLUSIVE WEDDING VENDORS AND RESOURCES FOR THE 2SLGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

he OVE is LOVE Collectives is a local wedding planning resource for the 2SLGBTQ+ community where couples and vendors offering an inclusion culture within their business can work collaboratively in a safe space. Vendors promote and empower the community by showing consistency of inclusivity throughout their brands, present an environment where folks can freely express who they are, and partner with others that hold the same values on inclusion and equality.

Eddie and Ryan Mendoza started the local collective in response to a need rather than a want. “We’d heard of a lesbian couple being turned away from wedding vendors because of who they are and it broke our hearts," says Eddie. “This actually happened to us when planning our own wedding. It was a horrible feeling that we still remember well. If we can provide even a little assistance in keeping the excitement of the process alive, why wouldn’t we? We chose our wedding vendors based on being seen as equals and human. This allowed us to be authentic in who we are as a couple and not worry about what folks thought when we had our first kiss.”

The #loveislovevendor application asks broad questions regarding vendors’ knowledge of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, how they currently support the community, and what makes their business a safe place. Some vendors are community, but many are not. They are amazing allies open to your guidance and insight.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING INCLUSIVE WEDDING VENDORS • Be your authentic self when you sit down with your wedding vendors.

This will allow them to get to know the real you and give them the room for you to get to know them and create a comfortable and trusting relationship.

Yoko Chapman is Publisher, Editor-in-Chief, and Creative Director of Anthologie by Ayoko Design. She has worked as an editor, content creator, stylist, consultant, graphic designer and event coordinator with wedding industry professionals for over 23 years. anthologieproject.com

• When you introduce yourself to vendors, include your pronouns.

This is a simple and easy way to open up the pronoun dialog early in the relationship.

• Be open and honest with your vendors about your diverse needs.

In a perfect world, conversations around family, phobias, or fears would not exist. This is the ideal opportunity to educate them about chosen family and some of the silent struggles the community faces.

CR E AT I N G YO U R O W N W E D D ING ST Y L E GUIDE

here are very few opportunities in life where we get to do things exactly as we’d like, but now you're in the driver’s seat, and this is your time to take the reins, write your own rule book, and be the change you want to see in the world. In more simple terms … just do what feels right. Relax, experience, enjoy, and plan a wonderful wedding that you and your guests will cherish and be proud of because it was truly a reflection of you.

Here are a few simple tips to help you start your own traditions and create a wedding style guide to help you plan your wedding with personality!

• Choose meaningful details such as objects, places and events that hold special memories. Give speeches from the heart, inject some humor, share fun facts about the couple, milestone moments, or stories of how you met.

• Select unconventional décor like whimsical mismatched furniture, make a custom backdrop, try bold colours like neon and rainbows, or give colourful parasols to guests while sitting.

• Wear unique attire. Incorporate lifestyle and cultural elements, era or pop culture themes, or unique alternatives for bouquets such as succulents and crystals.

• Choose a non-traditional wedding party including kids, grandparents or pets.

• Create your own ceremony format.

Hold multiple events for different

groups of guests, utilize virtual components, or try different seating arrangements like sitting in a circle.

• Plan unique entertainment such as a comedy show, a temporary tattoo station, hire an artist, take dance lessons with guests, make it a track and field day, play couple trivia during cocktail hour, or make a day of touring favourite attractions with guests.

• Personalize your stationery and wedding favours. Give something you made, write thank-yous ahead of time, create stationery with custom illustrations and calligraphy, or personalize escort cards for guests.

• Customize your menu with things like signature cocktails, cherished family recipes, fun food stations like sushi, waffles, ramen, charcuterie, and poutine, or mobile cocktail and beverage bar or food trucks.

365 DAYS OF WONDERFUL

he Wonderful Wedding Show is back, celebrating everything wedding! The return of weddings after so many postponed nuptials is definitely reason to celebrate. “After such a long wait for weddings to finally happen again, we wanted to make this year’s show extra special for all our vendors and couples who finally get to start planning again,” says Sherri Rheubottom, Show Manager.

The headliner of the show has always been the fashion shows, and this year is no exception, with big changes to create a fresh new look and feel. “It just felt like the perfect time to completely change things up, so we reimagined the whole style of the show with New York Bridal Fashion Week vibes that we know couples are going to love,” says Sherri.

The new Inspiration Gallery will feature a beautiful 4,000 square foot tent wedding display where guests can envision how

amazing their own wedding could be.

And because wedding planning can be daunting, the new Love Lounge, presented

by Eph Apparel, will offer guests a spot to unwind, enjoy music, and sip curated cocktails from the Lux Bar. The new Love Lounge name was inspired by the show’s partnership with Love is Love Collectives, a national collaborative collection of wedding resources for 2SLGBTQ+ folks.

Also, for the first time ever, two real couples will actually get married at the show in the new Pop-Up Weddings feature.

Couples can also enter to win a $20,000 Dream Wedding at Southwood Golf & Country Club.

Along with pampering in the Magic Room Spa, scotch and bourbon tasting in the new Thomas Hinds Sampling Room, plus 100,000 square feet of everything wedding, the 2022 show will kick off the wedding season in style.

OUR

FRIEND, PHOTOGRAPHER

MANUEL F. SOUSA

ll of us at the Wonderful Wedding Show would like to take this opportunity to remember our dear friend, Manny Sousa, who passed away in September, 2020. Manny was an exhibitor at the Wonderful Wedding Show for 26 years since 1994, and he was also the show’s official photographer. He was such an important part of our show family, and the entire wedding industry.

Manny’s photography was breathtaking and so candid and unique–he was always on the cutting edge of new techniques, and he had a way of capturing someone’s heart and soul in every image.

This photo of Manny was taken by his good friend Kelly Michaluk, who captured Manny’s beautiful smile that we will all remember forever.

BEAUTY

WHY HIRE A PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST

By Kelly Cherewick, Makeup Artist + Owner of The Artist Groupe

ll eyes will be on you on your big day! Here’s why you should seriously consider hiring a professional makeup artist to ensure you look your best.

1. No stress on your wedding day. Getting ready is supposed to be a fun

part of your big day, so why add stress? Keep that stress away with a professional makeup artist. We’ll create a makeup look to compliment your features and make you feel beautiful, because you’re worth it.

2. You want a natural look that suits your style. A pro knows all the different

techniques and tricks to enhance your best features, and even the ones you didn’t know you had! We have special products to camouflage blemishes, scars, etc., and we are trained to work with all types of skin tones and facial shapes, and keep current with beauty trends.

3. Photos. We use products that will make you look fresh and beautiful

without appearing too heavy. Professional makeup artists ensure your makeup shows up in photos and you don’t look washed out by harsh flashes or sunlight. We know how and what to use to make sure this doesn’t happen, and to ensure your makeup lasts all day and night.

4. Proper hygiene. A true professional always has hygiene rules in mind

Photo Casey Nolin Photography Hair Carmine Wilson, The Artist Groupe Makeup Tannis Legary, The Artist Groupe Model Swish Model Management

because your safety and health is very important to us. We properly clean our tools and makeup, use disposable wands, puffs, and sponges, and never double dip anything.

5. Professional products. We only use professional products and tools in our

kits. We all have our favourite products, but using our makeup guarantees high quality results with each application.

6. Luxury service. Our on location service lets you relax with your friends and

family. We offer trials so your artist gets to know you and your style, and create your desired look. Let us pamper you on your big day!

BEFORE CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: 1. View previous work or portfolio. A professional company will have a

website, will be a registered business, and will also have an Instagram and/ or Facebook account. Check references if available. A contract/agreement should be offered to you to cover all bases and make sure both parties agree to prices and expectations.

2. Allow your budget to include hair and makeup. Makeup pricing should

range anywhere from $80 to $120+ per person.

3. Don’t wait to book. Most reputable artists book up quickly.

4. Book a trial. Ideally three months before your wedding.

5. Consider having a professional makeup artist for your wedding party,

your mother, and your mother-in-law.

manda and Pavitra met in their first year of medical school and quickly became friends, and then a year later began dating. Halfway through residency, they took a trip to the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately, the first day of the trip happened to coincide with the start of the countrywide shut downs due to the pandemic. Before bags were even opened, the car was packed up and the trip was over. Prior to leaving, Amanda and Pavitra went for a walk on the frozen lake and were the only two people in sight, which is when Pavitra proposed to Amanda.

As the pandemic unfolded, Pavitra and Amanda quickly realized they had to adjust their expectations of what the wedding would look like if they wanted to get married the following year. Luckily, their wedding planner was able to create the most magical two-day wedding event that exceeded any expectations that either of them could have imagined. Amanda and Pavitra wanted their wedding to be inspired by both of their cultures, which Emma was able to incorporate into so many beautiful details. The look they were going for was a timeless Boho vibe, which could be the ideal backdrop for the variety of cultural elements. The colour palette was a wide range of neutral blush tones. They wanted a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere where all of their favourite people could meet, get to know each other, and catch up after many months apart.

“It all came together in such spectacular fashion thanks to the Emma Singh Creative Team!”

enna and Charles really wanted their wedding to represent who they are.

They went for a modern, rustic theme as they felt it captured them best as a couple. They wanted to have a fall wedding with fall colours, and chose navy as the main colour with some gold accents in the décor.

Jenna and Charles had discussed the idea of getting engaged, so they knew they were ready. They felt their story was best told from Charles’ perspective. “I had bought the ring in January of 2019 and thought of several ways to propose when I came to the realization that it had to be done near my hometown of Morris, Manitoba. I told Jenna that we were going skating at my family farm with relatives. The day before, along with my father and my grandfather, I prepped the ice to skate on and set up a bench with a basket of important things from our relationship. That afternoon, I asked a close friend of ours to hide out in the trees and capture our special moment.

I wanted pictures of this special moment for us to cherish.

I got down on one knee and asked if I could tie her skates. I told her that this exact spot is special to me– it’s where I learned to fish and spent countless hours as a child. I have these exact coordinates tattooed on my arm, and I told Jenna I wanted to share all of my special moments and places with her for the rest of my life. I asked her to marry me and she said yes!

We shared some wine on the river before telling our family and friends. It was perfect.”

“ One of the best moments was the first look, hands down.”

– Jenna & Charles
