Once Upon A Time...

*Tear*

We're just about ready to say goodbye to September but we couldn't without looking back at our favourite September wedding.

Earlier last month, we ventured up to Fort St. James, British Columbia for a truly stunning wilderness wedding on the shores of Stuart Lake. The bride was our good friend, Lisa, so it was extra special seeing her, her bridesmaids and flower girls accessorized in head-to-toe Davie & Chiyo. From her Aster Comb and Neige Box Clutch, to the bridesmaids' Pippa Sashes and flower girls' Leaflette Necklaces, it all came together beautifully.

Cheers to Lisa and Brad and an unforgettable day!

Flower Girls:  Leaflette Necklaces, custom Eden Brooches and custom Petite Ruche Clutches
