Ariana and Steven Fairmont Banff Springs, Banff, Alberta

Nothing quite captures the essence of romance like a winter wonderland wedding. And when it comes to creating that enchanting atmosphere, there's no better venue than the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs in Banff, Alberta, Canada. Ariana and Steven chose this picturesque location to celebrate their special day, and their wedding was nothing short of magical, photographed by the incredible Emily Michaelson Photography.

The ceremony took place on the Upper Terrace, where guests gathered in their winter attire, bundled up to ward off the chill. As they witnessed Ariana and Steven exchange their vows against the breathtaking backdrop of snow-covered mountains, they sipped on steaming cups of hot chocolate from the hot chocolate bar - a thoughtful touch that added warmth to the already cozy atmosphere.

But it was Ariana and Steven's first look that truly stole the show. As they laid eyes on each other for the first time, tears welled up in their eyes and others present, reflecting the depth of their love. The depth of their emotional bond was unmistakable, with their love visibly glowing.

The Cocktail Hour and Dinner reception were held in the elegant Mt. Stephen's Hall, characterized by its grand arches and floor-to-ceiling windows. The room was adorned with meticulously designed stationery and paper goods, courtesy of Paper Ocelot Studios. The couple's chosen colour scheme of deep navy blue and cream was beautifully showcased through letterpress and custom-embossed monograms, creating a sophisticated and timeless feel that carried through every aspect of the celebration.

One particularly memorable moment was when Ariana and Steven were joined by their beloved furry companion, Mae, for their portraits. Mae, their sweet pup, became an integral part of their wedding ceremony, adding an extra layer of love to the already heartwarming occasion.

Taking cues from the winter season, Flower Artistry created stunning arrangements by blending winter foliage with delicate cream and soft blooms. The arrangements complemented the surroundings, contributing to a naturally elegant ambiance that enhanced the overall aesthetic.

Being a part of Ariana and Steven’s special day was truly an honour. The love and joy that radiated throughout the event were infectious, leaving an indelible mark on all those who were fortunate enough to be there. The Fairmont Banff Springs provided the perfect backdrop for this winter wonderland wedding, and every detail, from the hot chocolate bar to the meticulously designed stationery, added to the magic of the day.

Ariana and Steven, thank you for allowing us to design and share in this breathtaking celebration of your love. Your wedding will remain in our hearts as a testament to the power of love and the beauty of winter's embrace.
