We have another wedding treat for you today! We’re currently obsessing over the collage of ivories, whites, and red happening in Christina’s dress, so don’t mind us when we admit that we could have easily filled up this entire post with just images of her Wai-Ching dress (really, it’s that stunning). Plus, we love a bride that knows how to say ‘I Do’ in style, and husband & wife photography duo, AMERIS, who know how to capture it all flawlessly.
Christina + Brian started with a budget of $20k, and came in just under at $18k for 115 people. That stunner of a dress and Brian’s handsome suit sent them a little over budget (so worth it), but respectfully, they came in under on everything else! Minimal flowers, letting the beautiful outdoors of Victoria BC set the scene, and picking a venue with great decor already provided allowed them to save and use their money elsewhere.
We’d love to know if she’d consider shortening the dress to wear after the wedding! Wouldn’t you?
Christina walked down the aisle to a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” played by Smashing Pumpkins.
I saved a lot of money on decor by choosing a venue like The Fireside Grill, since it did not need to be decorated much. Choosing a restaurant that had extensive experience in weddings was super helpful. The total cost I spent for decor was approx $300. I made my own centerpieces, bought silk flowers & a hot glue gun from Michael’s, glass vases & yarn from a dollar store, and made table card holders from fallen branches from the woods. My step dad cut them for me about 1 inch thick and we used blank business cards from Staples (VERY inexpensive) for the table cards themselves.
Congrats you two lovebirds!

Love that you featured a Canadian wedding! That dress is STUNNINGGGG!!!
I love the rustic vibe! The cotton incorporated into the brides bouquet is a perfect touch…not to mention the dress. That dress is unbelievable and am also curious to know if it will be shortened to wear after the wedding. BEAUTIFUL.
Her dress is fab fab fab! Love the floral pairing!
Personally, I’m not much into wedding attire and decor, BUT, I confess the matching red shoes are neat.
These pictures are just beautiful. I really like the bottom of the dress in red and matched the color theme. It adds something fun to the dresses and definately attracts attention. The table’s each having an adjective to describe theme is a wonderful idea.
Love all the little pops of red! It was a fun and consistent color, with out being overpowering throughout the wedding.
Love the bouquet peonies with a hint of red and of course the dress it’s stunning! Really like the tree stumps for table name holders too. We have some tea light holders which would fit in perfectly!
