When I got the email from Anila that she was engaged, I was so excited for her. I knew that she had finally found the perfect man for her. Stefan is a wonderful complement to Anila. They are a wonderful, warm, and giving couple! If you are ever in need of help of any kind, you can be sure that they will step up and help out.
As soon as the news got out that Anila is engaged, a wedding planning committee was instantly created. Every one of us wanted Anila to have a perfect wedding and we were all determined to make it happen! Originally, Anila's wedding ceremony and reception was at a different venue. A couple of months before the wedding, we had a venue change. The ceremony was held at Festival Tent inside of Canada Olympic Park (COP).
Despite being born and raised in Calgary, I have never been to COP! The festival tent was a huge outdoor tent with tons of square footage. (We even had extra square footage with our 400 guests!) Everything in the tent was white. It required a lot of color to bring it to life. Anila's ceremony wedding colors was red and gold. To bring in these colors, we used red organza chair sashes, a very colorful extended backdrop, and paper lanterns on the ceiling. All the guests also took home a wedding favor in either red or gold too.
Anila and Stefan had lots of friends and family attend their wedding. Amongst the guests was the Mayor of Calgary, Mr. Naheed Nenshi! I introduced myself to him as the event designer and got an "awesome job" from him! I was totally psyched!
Another shout out to my team for setting up the reception till 10:00pm and setting up the ceremony the next morning at 5:00am! Thank you so much!
