A Romantic Country Wedding in Edmonton, Alberta

Updated Aug 13, 2015

High school sweethearts Brandy and Nathan both grew up in the country so the lush setting of Fort Edmonton Park was a natural choice for the pair when it came to selecting a wedding venue.

When the wedding day rolled around Brandy says she couldn't wait to walk down the aisle. "I loved the excitement and anticipation of waiting to see my soon-to-be husband," she explains.

After a short and sweet ceremony, guests were treated to a cocktail hour while the bride and groom were whisked away in a horse-drawn carriage to take photos. A reception followed in Fort Edmonton Park's onsite airplane hanger, which was decorated with raspberry pink linens, twinkle lights and towering orchid branch centrepieces. Chiavari chairs and a stunning pink sweet table added sophistication to this airy, modern reception space.

After a down-home barbecue dinner Brandy and Nathan paid homage to their roots with a live country band. "It was so great to see all of our friends and family so happy for us. We danced and celebrated all night long." Brandy reminisced.
