Shannon & Mike's Aldergrove Wedding

August 15th was the special day for Shannon and Mike's nuptuals. After some "getting ready" pix at a hotel in Langley, bride and groom with entourage in tow boarded a very cool bus/limo to take them to a family friends house/farm in Aldergrove. Seeing that i had never been to this property before i didn't know what to expect. WOW!! what a great surprise! The location was just unreal,so many beautiful backdrops wherever we went on the property.

The weather held up, although i must say that it did look like thunder showers were going to hit right before the ceremony began. But.......the rain never came and the day turned out to be glorious with lotsa sunshine. The florals came out super nice and they were from Blundell Blossoms in Richmond, the girls hair and makeup as well came out lovely and that thank you belongs to Yasiv Marin and Melanie Bosse. Another special element to the wedding day that had enormous impact on the bride was Shannon's wedding dress. Many years before ever meeting Mike, Shannon knew that when her day had come, her wedding dress must be made of lace just like the one her mom wore on her wedding day. Believe it or not, Shannon's mom with the help of her mother (grandma) took her own (moms) dress apart and redesigned it with additional lace that grandma had saved. With the help of family friends Shannon's dream wedding dress was born:) When i heard the story, i thought that this was a very special element that i wanted to share on my blog. Mike and the guys were decked out in tuxes by Western tux. Lotsa fun, drinking ,dancing and eating were had by all. This country wedding was a wedding to remember!
