Photo Shoot at Rocket Bakery with Maddie Mills Photography

A lot of work goes into creating a wedding show display, so we made a last minute decision to take full advantage of the design work and we called on our vendor friends to help. Once the wedding show was over, we moved all of our decor down to the Rocket Room where the lovely staff at Rocket Bakery welcomed us and even contributed some delicious treats for the shoot the next day.

We enlisted the help of Maddie Mills Photo to capture the details of our fresh green and yellow color scheme and invited Nadia Ali Hair & Make-up Artistry to participate. Nadia also modeled for us, along with Janine’s little girl Peyton who came down after school to play dress up. It was such a fun day and we’re so glad our vendor friends all jumped at the chance to help us create a little bit of magic… here is the result:

We are very lucky to have great relationships with so many of the amazing people in the wedding industry here in Newfoundland. We love working at Rocket, and we always enjoy the opportunity to work with Maddie Mills and Nadia Ali – nothing but good things to say about this fantastic group of vendors!

Published on Styled in Lace

Last week we were excited to find out that our nature inspired styled elopement shoot had been featured on Styled in Lace, an online publication that focuses exclusively on east coast weddings.

We had quite an adventure preparing this pretty little woodland photo shoot on the East Coast Trail recently. Read more about that on the Styled in Lace website: http://www.styledinlace.com

Here are some of our favourite photos from the day…

Can you believe those flowers are all artificial? Such a great idea for an elopement or destination wedding, silk floral is actually becoming more and more popular for traditional weddings as well.

One of the great things about our services at By Sharpe Design is that we can alleviate stress by taking care of many different aspects of your event. Wedding Invitations and stationery? We make ’em! Fresh or silk floral for bouquets, centerpieces, etc? That’s our jam! Design and decorating? We LOVE to make it pretty! Rentals for DIY weddings? We can help with that too! Choose one, some, or all of our services to help you plan a cohesive event.

Please check out all of the amazing LOCAL vendors featured in this editorial elopement shoot!

Next we’re delighted to share the beautiful desserts created by Petite Sweet for Lana & Jon. We were especially smitten with the shortbreads that Maria hand-decorated based on the custom dessert cards and other paper products we designed for this reception. Absolutely stunning work by Maria & Genny, as always.

Christal & Will’s October Wedding at Clovelly – Featuring Reide Photography

We set up two very different but equally beautiful weddings at Clovelly this weekend past. Today we are featuring Christal & Will’s Friday wedding, which had a soft romantic feel (stay tuned for another blog post featuring the fun Saturday wedding.)

Reide Photography did a spectacular job with this wedding and we’re so excited to share their photographs with you today (thank you Elsie Reid!) – let’s get right to it…

 

Below we’ve also posted a few snaps that we took of the custom details created for Christal & Will (please note: we are not photographers and have the utmost respect for the pros who make it look so easy ~ it’s NOT easy!) We encourage any and all photographers to get in touch if we have clients in common – we LOVE seeing our décor & floral through the lens of a professional. 🙂

Thanks to Christal & Will for trusting us with the little details on your big day!

A Lovely June Wedding at Clovelly

This weekend we had the pleasure of setting up a soft and pretty wedding at Clovelly ~ the light and airy atmosphere definitely makes it one of our favourite venues to decorate. As always, Petite Sweet did an amazing job with the dessert table and all of the elements of the décor came together beautifully. Here are a few pictures we snapped after setting up…

We created all of the wedding signage, seating chart and table numbers to coordinate with the rest of the decor. It’s a great idea to include a sign on or near the dessert table (we went with both!) if you prefer that guests wait until after supper to dive in.

All of Jessica’s floral designs were absolutely stunning but sadly we didn’t get a chance to photograph the bridal bouquets ~ we look forward to seeing a few photos from Nate Gates!
