Taylor and Christina’s green, white & gold wedding, was a beautiful celebration of timeless love and intentional simplicity. With just 17 of their closest loved ones, the couple created an intimate and elegant day at The Rose Chapel and Best Western Stoneridge Inn. From the soft natural light of the chapel to the golden glow of a single long table at their reception, every detail reflected their vision of romance, warmth, and meaning. Their sophisticated palette and thoughtful touches—like matching engraved wedding bands and a return to the place they first met—made their day not only stylish, but deeply personal.

CEREMONY LOCATION: The Rose Chapel - Best Western Stoneridge Inn "We loved the intimate feeling of the chapel. It is perfect! The chapel has a warm, inviting feeling that is so romantic. There are beautiful natural lights, and flowers at the altar." - T&C

RECEPTION LOCATION: Best Western Stoneridge Inn "The Townsend Ballroom has an enchanting fireplace and lots of space for all necessities. We knew it would be perfect for our green, white & gold wedding. We had one long table to seat all of our guests, with us being in the middle. This venue is a stress free location, where you can order your meals, and decorations right at the venue. They have a taste testing and decoration event where couples can browse all the amenities. The venue sets up, and takes down, it really made us feel at ease knowing everything was taken care of in-house." - T&C

PHOTOGRAPHER: Erin Woodgate Photography "She was able to capture our green, white & gold wedding perfectly!" - T

COLOUR PALETTE: "We were going for a green, white & gold wedding. It was elegant and simple. We opted for the less is more. Everything was hand picked by the two of us. We wanted a natural, romantic, timeless feeling and our theme mirrored that sophisticated elegance." - T&C

TELL US YOUR STORY!: "We met when both of our jobs collided and we instantly felt a magnetic pull towards each other, like fate. It started off as friendship, but knew we were more. We went out of our way to see each other at work, and make time for each other in small ways, like walking each other to our cars, and watching the sunset on the roof. We would spend a lot of time getting to know each other, laughing and asking question upon question.

Although our career paths changed, we met back at our initial place,  all the time. Our friendship quickly developed into an undeniable love, the greatest love of each of our lives. This first spot, the place where we met, was our first kiss, our first time saying 'I love you', and our first time admitting to each other that we wanted to be more than friends.

We compliment each other so well, and always use the phrases "you & me" and "me & you", which we actually secretly got engraved on each other's wedding bands. It was really special because it was the day before our wedding. We went back to the place we met to exchange rings. We saw what the other had engraved, and it was a perfect match, just like the two of us.

On our wedding day, we made sure to make a special appearance at our first meeting spot, to ensure we captured our love on our wedding day, in the place that made it all happen. Since that initial first meeting, we each grew, together and separately, and stayed each other's best friend, love and soulmate. So, our hangouts became dates, which became fiancées and now spouses. We have been inseparable since day one, travelling, buying a house, and planning our future. From that first meeting, we grew up together, and we can't wait to grow old together, even more." - T&J

FAVOURITE MEMORY: "The best memory of our wedding was right after we signed the marriage license, and we were back at the altar, holding hands and looking at each other. It was a bubble moment, where it just felt like the two of us, but we were surrounded by our precious family, and we had a beautiful string duo playing live music to enhance the magic." - T&C

ADVICE FROM ONE COUPLE TO ANOTHER: "Do whatever makes the both of you happy. Listen to you and your partners' hearts, it is your day. Take your time, the day is yours, always prioritize your partner and have moments for the two of you." - T&C
