A Glamorous Rustic Wedding in Edmonton, Alberta

Updated Apr 08, 2016

While Stacia and Blair both attended the same schools growing up, the pair never actually spoke. Years later, the two connected online – and there, they got to know each other and found they had a lot in common, including the fact that both Blair’s father and Stacia’s uncle had worked at the same fire department.

A few dates later, the two knew they were meant to be. For his proposal, Blair suggested a dip in the hot tub, where he had laid out rose petals and candles. There, he got down on knee -- Stacia was so excited she can't recall what sentiments Blair shared with her that night, but she did immediately say yes!

Stacia and Blair opted for a glamorous rustic wedding, with an ice blue and chocolate brown colour scheme and forest-inspired elements. One of the couple's favourite details was the striking birch tree head table backdrop, which was conceptualized by their wedding planner and built by Blair, who crafted it from scratch using trees he'd cut down himself!
