TTF Real Bride: Meet L’nielle

In the past, we have showcased a bride or two on Tutu & Fru to share her experience with you all and maybe pick up a few tips or design ideas. I’m excited to say that this upcoming wedding seasons feature bride is our very own, ME lol.

I have been with my man for almost as long as I’ve been in the wedding industry. Although we have done things the unconventional way, a wedding was never out of the question, rather a matter of timing (and money). So, 2 homes, 2 children and a few pets later, we are finally planning our wedding and I thought it would be fun to share the process with you all!

I’m not going to go into too much detail about the proposal… the jig was up, we have 2 kids and things get crazy and go unplanned in our household. But I will however say that my man did an amazing job designing my ring with Cavalier Gastown and came nothing short of perfect!

I’ve spent almost a decade in the wedding industry from planning & coordination, decor & makeup artistry and it’s an industry I love. But this time, it’s my own and I only get one shot at making it look amazing. Before starting on booking a venue, I needed a vision & guest count. In my mind, if I had both right off the bat, then I knew which venues to narrow it down to. So, with the help of Pinterest, here’s what I came up with to get the planning going.

Goodbye pantone’s colours of 2016, hello indigo & muted Marrakech.

Guest count: 170 YIKES! Hopefully this is just the invite list lol.

I can’t wait to share the whole process with you all!

xo, L’nielle
