I'M BACK & MARRIED!!! ☺👏🏻 I took some time away to soak in every moment of our wedding! I loved every second of it, and it came together better than I could have imagined!! So I'm sharing all of my planning tips & tricks for you so that you can create an extra special day as well! STAY TUNED FOR THE FULL WEDDING VIDEO COMING SOON!
-
Had to pause and rewind. You calling Christian your husband is crazy! Been following you guys since before you moved in w him in the LA apartment! So happy to see how far you both have come and how much your love has grown ❤❤❤
-
To me, this is the 'true' meaning of a 'FAIRYTALE' - absolutely stunning on every level. The individual cards for the guests were extraordinary. But more importantly, you didn't just think about yourselves, you thought about 'everyone' - that to me was and meant 'everything' - I actually felt a little emotional - just incredible. Congratulations to you both. Much blessings, always, Psyche aka Psyche Thompson UK 🌹🥂
-
The dress with the lace sleeve omg gorgeous on you!! Your whole day looked amazing! Congratulations
-
Having someone you know officiate the wedding is the best idea. My sister had a pastor who officiated my parents wedding. All the stories he told were amazing.
-
OMG you looked so beautiful on your wedding day.. and the dress ...to kill for. Everything looked like out of a fairytale. My best wishes for your wedding xx
-
You're such a decent person to watch! I love all of your ideas. You're the first person I heard those ideas from. You're so generous to share them all. Imagine, you even thought of putting a mirror at the doorstep for guests to see how they look before coming in. For me, that's so sweet. Everything is so magical to see. You both deserve it! Congratulations! God bless you and your family more!
-
Oh, my goodness! The tent with the trees is just breathtaking. I like how you used the flowerpots at the altar. I can tell you really put a ton of thinking and planning into your wedding day.
-
Congratulations! Your ideas were amazing and so unique! I'm sure your guests really enjoyed themselves as much as you did
-
What a beautiful wedding!!! You looked absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Christian looked so, so handsome!!! Congratulations to you both and much blessings for the future!!!!!

First of all, you are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. Your wedding gown is absolutely stunning! You look just breathtaking! From the gathering on the boat cruise for the wedding guests, to the personal note cards, the evening wraps and flip flops for dancing, you thought of everything! Wow! Thank you for taking us along on the wonderful journey! Congratulations to both of you! ❤❤❤
-
Congratulations! As someone who has worked many weddings (catering and wedding cakes) it was so nice to see how focused you were on your guests' experience. Sometimes brides get so caught up in what they want and forget that they are really just the host of the event. I want to hear about the cake!
-
It looked like perfection. Everything you do is so well thought out. The venue, the personalized notes, the cruise, what a wonderful experience. Plus, your dress was magnificent. I especially loved the Ikea throw idea; so thoughtful. Congratulations.
-
Kristen your wedding was breath taking. Perfect and beautiful is an understatement. Congratulations
-

All I can say is wow wow.! What An absolutely gorgeous wedding right down to the flip-flops. You are so talented and blessed. Enjoy your new life. Can’t wait to see all of the decorating.

That is so wonderful that you came back to Canada for your wedding and what a great venue!! You both look so glamorous and the cards to each guest is such an amazing thoughtful idea. Beautiful 💛
-
HUGE congrats on your marriage Kristen! Wedding looks stunning

OMG, I have been watching you and Christian since 2016 or 2017. I was extremely happy that you two finally tied the knot. Wish you two nothing but a healthy, strong, and long lasting marriage!
