Pinebrook Golf Course Wedding

Shainoor and Abid had their ceremony at the Calgary South Ismali Centre Wedding Ceremony and their reception at the Pinebrook Golf Course back in June of this year. Abid was working in Vancouver during most of the wedding planning process. I met up with Shainoor mostly and we had gotten quite close. During one meeting, we started talking about our childhood BFs and ex-BFs rather than the wedding. Getting off topic happens.

During our initial design meeting, Shainoor would always say one thing after almost every sentence: "no pressure ok?" My reaction: "Uhhh...lots of freakin' pressure NOW!" (Of course, I kept this thought to myself and didn't vocalize it.)

Shainoor said décor was very important to her, even more important than food, except after her gowns. She initially wanted a totally white wedding and then decided that was crazy talk and she wanted a lot of color. She wanted a dreamy and classy wedding. She also wanted to be center stage. She wanted a romantic canopy for her sweet heart table. She wanted lots of flowers. No pressure.

Pressure or not, (mostly the former) we pulled off the design she wanted. Here are the pictures of her and Abid's wedding reception. (Judging from the pictures, can you imagine my pressure levels?)

Calgary South Ismaili Center Wedding Ceremony

I had the pleasure of helping Shainoor and Abid with the design and décor of their wedding ceremony at the Calgary South Ismaili Center. During our first visit, Shainoor and Abid explained what they needed decorated: gift/sign in table; aisle, vow area, and cake table. I suggested an aisle decorated with tulle and silk flowers, pillars with vases and flowers, uplighting, and organza swirl overlays. Shainoor and Abid loved the suggestions! Then they dropped the bomb on me: I only had 30 minutes to decorate everything.

Mission accomplished and a new record was set for me! Below is a picture I snapped at the 29th minute. One of my friends saw the picture and said the flower balls look like they are floating - star wars style. The more I look at the picture, the more I have to agree!!
