Fabiola (Fabby) admits she never envisioned an elegant blush wedding—growing up she was a tomboy who loved sports—but when Francesco (Frank) popped the question she turned to bridal websites and magazines to help her create the perfect fairytale day. With their strong love for Italian food and a simple, elegant blush wedding theme in mind, Fabby and Frank planned their dream wedding adorned with white, silver and blush pink accents. “I truly wish I could pause the moment when I walked into my wedding. It was so beautiful. I wish I could relive that moment forever,” Fabby gushes. When asked to recall their favourite detail from this elegant blush wedding celebration, Fabby and Frank agree the football and soccer cake pops, designed to represent their favourite sports, really made their day extra-special.

<br />
<strong>Bride:</strong> Fabiola Gomez<br />
<br />
<strong>Groom:</strong> Francesco Guido<br />
<br />
<strong>How they met:</strong> "We met years before we started dating at a mutual friend's wedding," explains Fabiola. "While we were both interested in each other we didn’t exchange numbers. We ran into each other again a few years later and Frank was able to get up the courage to ask for my number."<br />
<br />
<strong>Engagement story:</strong> "Frank recreated our first romantic getaway to Banff, Alberta," recalls Fabiola. "After a wonderful dinner we went back to our room where the hotel staff had staged the room with flowers, champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. I turned around and he nervously got down on one knee and asked me to marry him." elegant-blush-wedding-shoes https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/elegant-blush-wedding-shoes-105x105.jpg https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/elegant-blush-wedding-shoes.jpg https://weddingbells.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/elegant-blush-wedding-shoes.jpg 1000 700 [] https://weddingbells.ca/real-weddings/an-elegant-blush-wedding-in-calgary-alberta/slide/elegant-blush-wedding-shoes/ elegant-blush-wedding-shoes 0 0
