Catie + Jacob's Earthy, Organic Backyard Wedding

Catie's and Jacob's backyard wedding was the epitome of organic whimsy. From the wild florals to the moody color palette and gold details, their day was truly perfect. The Proposal Story: "Jacob first told me he loved me in Vancouver several years ago. It’s our favorite city. We travel to Victoria BC every year for work and we often try to get to Vancouver. Last year when we were in Victoria, he surprised me with a weekend in Vancouver. We flew over on one of those little harbor planes that lands on the water. The next day, we went for a hike in Stanley Park, this huge park in the city full of old growth forests. He waited until he found the perfect spot and proposed. We hiked to a little cafe in the park and drank champagne in front of the fireplace."

What was your favorite part of the planning process? "Working with the florists and the caterer! I love food and flowers and had so much fun sharing my vision for both."

Do you have a tip for any couples currently planning their wedding? "Find a wedding planner whose energy feels right to you. Trust your instincts. Don’t sweat the details too much. I barely noticed the details on the day of. I was so happy to be surrounded by family and friends and to be marrying my best friend!"
