Destination wedding tip from a wedding planner and photographer 👇

If you’re trying to decide where to spend your decor budget…

Pay for the lights.

Seriously.

Most resorts in Mexico offer upgrades like string lights, fairy lights, twinkle lights, market lights, and other lighting options for your reception space.

And every single time, they completely transform the atmosphere.

Could you spend hundreds (or thousands) on elaborate centrepieces?

Absolutely.

But your guests will remember how the space felt far more than what sat in the middle of the table.

Want to save money?

Pack small faux florals.
Pack simple table accents.
DIY some of the little details.

But if you have room in the budget for one decor upgrade…

Choose the lights.

The photos are better.
The ambiance is better.
The dance floor feels more magical.
And the entire space instantly feels more luxurious.

I’ve never had a couple regret adding the lights.

But I’ve definitely seen couples wish they had.

✨ Bonus destination wedding tip:

Don’t forget to ask your favourite photographer if they travel.

Many photographers offer destination wedding packages where you simply cover travel and accommodations, and they’ll photograph your wedding at no additional package cost (like me! 😉).

Not only can this save you money compared to some resort photography options, but you already know and love their work, you’ve built a relationship before your wedding day, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing exactly what style and quality of images you’re getting.

Your wedding day only happens once. Having a photographer you trust is priceless.

Save this for your destination wedding planning folder. ✈️🤍

Now tell me…

Would you spend your budget on centrepieces or twinkle lights?

Unpopular opinion:

The most expensive vendor isn’t always the best one.

I know... some people in my industry are already rolling their eyes.

But after years in weddings, I’ve learned that price doesn’t guarantee experience, professionalism, communication, or passion.

The best vendors aren’t always the ones with the biggest following.
They’re the ones answering your emails, calming your nerves, solving problems before you even know they exist, and showing up for you when it matters most.

A luxury experience isn’t about spending the most money.

It’s about feeling taken care of.

So if you’re planning a wedding, stop shopping based solely on price tags and start looking at value, personality, communication, and trust.

Because your wedding day deserves vendors who care about your marriage more than their Instagram feed.

Tell me I’m wrong… 👇

Wedding planning tip for engaged couples looking for wedding vendors, luxury wedding experiences, wedding photography, wedding coordination, and stress-free wedding days.

✨ Grand Opening | Hillberg & Berk Sherwood Park ✨

What an incredible evening celebrating the grand opening of the new Hillberg & Berk location in Sherwood Park! 💗

One of the highlights of the night was seeing Rachel Mielke and reflecting on everything she has built. As a female entrepreneur, she is such an inspiration—not only for creating a nationally recognized brand, but for proving that women can build businesses that are both successful and deeply impactful. From designing custom jewelry for Queen Elizabeth II to becoming the official jewelry partner of Team Canada, Hillberg & Berk has become a true Canadian success story. Even more inspiring is the company’s commitment to giving back, dedicating 1% of annual revenue to organizations that empower and support women.

The name Hillberg & Berk itself tells a beautiful story, combining the name of Rachel’s great-grandmother, Hilda Bergman, and her beloved miniature pinscher, Berkley. It’s a reminder that the most meaningful brands are often built on personal stories, passion, and purpose. 💕

A huge congratulations to Rachel and the entire Hillberg & Berk team on this exciting milestone. Your vision, leadership, and dedication continue to inspire so many women across Canada.

It was also wonderful to see the amazing RAHF team and spend time with so many incredible women supporting women. And a special shoutout to Symone, Brand Experience & Event Manager, who helped create such a beautiful and welcoming event. Your talent, kindness, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed—you made the entire experience feel effortless and memorable. ✨

Here’s to celebrating female entrepreneurs, meaningful connections, and businesses that make a difference. Congratulations on a beautiful new space, Sherwood Park! 🥂💎

Their story deserves to be remembered exactly as it is. 🤍

Far from home in Yellowknife, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, endless appointments, uncertainty, and the weight of it all, but still choosing love in the middle of the storm.

Before their sweet baby enters this world, they wanted one thing most: to become husband and wife.

No giant production. No pressure. Just two people holding onto each other through one of the hardest and most beautiful seasons of their lives.

These are the weddings that remind me what this job is really about.
Not perfection.
Not timelines.
Not trends.

Just love. Real, raw, resilient love. 🤍

Your wedding day should feel like you. 🤍

Not just the trendy details or Pinterest-perfect moments , but the traditions, culture, stories, and memories that made you who you are.

Whether it’s a cultural dance, family recipes, heirloom jewelry, traditional clothing, prayer, music, language, or customs passed down for generations… include it. Always. ✨

The most unforgettable weddings aren’t the ones that follow every trend.
They’re the ones filled with meaning, connection, and pieces of home.

So play the music.
Wear the outfit.
Honour the tradition.
Tell your story proudly.

Because your love deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels authentic to you. 🤍

2026 & 2027 weddings are booking quickly and we would be honoured to capture every meaningful detail that makes your day uniquely yours.

Because the most unique rings I’ve seen deserve a permanent spot on my grid 🤍
