Another Mountie Wedding.

Due to the success of the last Mountie Wedding board, I decided to create another in a slightly different colour scheme for my Mountie Bride-to-be and the many others out there. [Note: I am enjoying this feature and plan to assemble more in alternate Mountie colour palettes]. Stay tuned...

. . .
Today's board centers around Charcoal and White with hits of Red to compliment -but not overwhelm- the classic Serge. The result is an understated yet elegant collaboration of tradition & grace. Enjoy.




Inspiration, clockwise from Top Left:

• A lovey red Valentino Patent Pump to add a punch of colour.


• A beautiful Jim Hjelm gown with grey sash and lace shrug.


• I love this adorable ring bearer pillow made of felt by Etsy Seller HeartFelted.


• J.Crew is known for their lovely bridesmaid dresses. This one is no exception. I love that bridesmaids can easily wear it again. It would look lovely with white bridesmaid bouquets.


• You can't go wrong with iced tea and lemonade at an outdoor reception. [Photo Snippet and Ink courtesy of Union Photography].


• Personalized Detail: I love this candle holder found in peartreeri's Etsy shop as it could hold grey pebbles from both shores of Canada [East Coast and West Coast] at the ceremony in Central Canada. This detail brings both sides of your families together in a beautiful arrangement. How Sweet?


• This idea for Escort Cards would be perfect for the outdoor reception. I love the clothes peg embellishment.


• What is better than love love love? This scripture is commonly read during wedding ceremonies and works perfectly on these lovey cards by storybymia. [Possibly used for thank you cards or shower invitations]?


• An outdoor reception begs for fun table linens. I enjoy the stripes featured on this table found via Tastefully Entertaining.


• Of course, I couldn't create a Mountie Inspiration Board without including the inspiring and lovely shots found on Thankful. This shot has to be one of the most beautiful {and one of my most favorite} wedding photos ever. Thanks for letting us be inspired by your lovely wedding!


• These simple centerpieces would be easy to assemble. The cylinder vases could also hold bridesmaid's bouquets during the reception.


• Personalized cocktails are very popular, however, I also like the idea of having a feature cocktail [like sparkling Shiraz punch] that corresponds with your colour scheme. You could include a framed copy of the drink recipe for your guests on the bar at the reception or copy it onto the back of their escort cards.


• Because of your outdoor reception I think it would be fun to set up a self-serve photo booth. Guests would be encouraged to take photos in front of a fun canvas [such as this one from Ikea]. [You could either hire a photographer or machine to capture these shots or guests could take them themselves]. The idea is everyone in attendance would be photographed for your album.


• Although we were dealing with subtle hits of red, the bridal bouquet is no place to skimp on colour. You will require a bouquet that pops like this beautiful mix of roses and calla lilies with a touch of Prairie grass.

Note: I will not pretend to be a Regina Wedding Expert, however the following vendors have a great reputation for working with Mounties and their Brides.
