When Olivia first reached out to me for her wedding, the original plan was a city hall elopement before heading out to a restaurant for dinner. Things change and they ended up finding Armstrong Estate a venue that host elopements and micro wedding for 24. This French chateau inspired wedding at the Armstrong Estate features blush accents, elegant details and old world vibes.
Gabrielle, the owner and lead planner of the venue, sets everything up for you and as a couple you just show up looking gorgeous. A dream come true, its always nice to not have to worry about set up and tear down on your wedding.
The ceremony was beautifully decorated with candles and bouquets from the talented Maison Anthea.
What did you love about your wedding location? (ceremony and reception)
I liked that it was secluded away from the public, the space had everything we needed (bridal dressing room, ceremony area, reception area), and it had a beautiful classic design.
Your thought process and inspiration when planning your wedding day?
my inspo was classic, simple, with a little bit of traditional vibe for decor and feel
What was most important to you when planning your wedding?
photography was the most important because otherwise what’s the point! lol
What was your favourite part of your wedding day?
my favourite part was getting ready with hair makeup and getting dressed in the bridal suite and then of course the vow exchange and listening to my husband’s love letter
Funniest moments on your wedding day?
our super cheesy first dance moment
What advice would you give to future couples who are getting married?
invest in your photographer and follow your gut with everything you want for your wedding whether it’s big or small.
What was it like working with your photographer?
Mary was the best. She made me, my husband, my guests, and the wedding space look amazing. Mary was patient and kind. she treated me like a friend and made me feel comfortable even when though i’m usually super awks in front of the camera.
