We’re back with the stunning finale of Matt and Julia’s New Years Eve wedding! Special thanks again to Kirstie Tweed of Orange Girl Photographs for her amazing photos of Matt and Julia’s special day.
Following their emotional ceremony, our newlyweds took advantage of the incredible scenery at the Chateau Lake Louise for some amazing – albeit freezing! – wedding photos.

Julia added a fur stole, mitts and adorable boots for their after-wedding shoot.

Back inside the Chateau Lake Louise, the party was just getting started. One of our favourite décor elements was the 16-foot ice bar – complete with not one, but two martini luges!

A princess slipper for Julia:

And a slipper for one of Matt’s favourite pastimes – hockey!

Matt and Julia wanted a winter bling look and feel to their wedding – and lighting was a big part of the décor. The room was awash in pinks, blushes and lavenders throughout the evening.

Watching guests enter the ballroom was an amazing moment. The space had been transformed into a winter wonderland – with more than one guest gasping when they entered the space.

Amidst the round tables, we incorporated a rectangular head table. This allowed Matt and Julia to sit at the head of the table as the guests of honour and still easily converse with their wedding party throughout dinner.

We dressed each of the head table chameleon chairs with ruffled slipcovers – the perfect touch for the special table.

Each place setting featured a gold charger, napkin and one delicious favours from Bedazzle My BonBons.

To complete the winter bling look, the centerpiece trees featured gorgeous phalaenopsis orchids, gold glittered branches, hanging votives and feathers, dripping with strands of crystals.

There is nothing like flickering candlelight to add a sense of romance and warmth to a room. Candles were an integral part to the lighting story for Matt and Julia’s wedding – votives on the tables, hanging from the centrepiees, and floating candles in front of the ballroom’s fireplace.

Matt and Julia’s wedding cake stood prominently beneath the canopy which they were married under. The four-layer confection was delicious and topped with more orchids and Bedazzle My Bon Bons!

Guests were treated to an unbelievable meal – complete with sorbet as palette cleansers between courses.

After dinner and speeches, guests took to the dance floor. The floor was kept packed all night thanks to Alan Smithson of Smithson Martin Inc/Star Productions, who flew in from Toronto for the event. We told you last week about his revolutionary Emulator DJ system – Matt and Julia’s celebration was the world wedding premiere of the Emulator!

The couple exchanges a kiss during their first dance with soft snow falling all around them.

After her first dance with Matt, Julia shared a special spin on the dance floor with her father. The look of pride on his face brought us to tears – it meant so much to him to give his little girl the wedding of her dreams.

Matt and Julia, thank you so much for trusting us to bring your wedding dreams to life. We had such an amazing time planning, executing and celebrating with you and your guests. Congratulations again!

Today we are thrilled to share our latest Real Wedding with you – Part I of Matt and Julia’s stunning New Year’s Eve wedding at the Chateau Lake Louise. Special thanks to Kirstie Tweed of Orange Girl Photographs who was on hand throughout the weekend to capture the celebration.
The night before their wedding, Matt and Julia’s families hosted an outdoor ice bar – complete with scotch, cigars, candelight in the snow walls and temperatures hovering near -30 degrees!
Orange Girl Photographs
Many of the guests traveled from Winnipeg for their wedding, so were very prepared for the chilly weather – it was a great way to kick off their festivities and the ski suit attire was an event in itself!

Lake Louise is a very dear place for Julia’s family and was the perfect place for her wedding. Every winter, on their family ski trip to Lake Louise, Julia would tell her father that someday she would be married at the Chateau on New Year’s Eve!

Julia’s dog Dallas was the star of the show decked out in many designer outfits and was a constant presence throughout the whole weekend!

Julia is the ultimate girly girl and her bridal fashion didn’t disappoint. We loved her Oscar de la Renta shoes and her bouquet was the perfect combination of traditional meets glitz.

Julia is very close to her parents and especially her father. When she was about 10 years old, she stood in the Victoria Ballroom with her Dad and said to him, “Daddy, when I get married someday, I want it to be on New Years Eve in this very room.” Twenty or so years later, the phone rang and Julia told her father, “I’m engaged and guess where I’m getting married!” After that, he knew exactly who to call to make it happen: Chad Mendleman at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise!
Nothing made her father more proud than to give his eldest daughter the wedding of her dreams just as she had predicted it years before.

The Lynn Fletcher Wedding team helped create the wedding ceremony of Matt and Julia’s dreams – simple white décor, flickering candlelight, and stunning lighting to accentuate the Chateau’s famous architecture.

Julia’s father escorted his little girl down the aisle to meet her husband to be. The date they chose for their wedding was especially important to Matt and Julia – three years prior, Matt asked Julia out on their first official date. New Years holds many memories for them, so it was a perfect date for their wedding.

Matt later told us his favourite moment of the wedding was watching Julia walk down the aisle towards him – he was struck with the magnitude and emotion of the moment.

We’re back with another sneak peek from Matt and Julia’s New Year Eve wedding at Lake Louise. DJ Alan Smithson from Smithson Martin was on hand to keep the dance floor packed – with the world wedding premiere of the Emulator system!
Lynn Fletcher Weddings
The Emulator is a brand new, revolutionary product for DJs – the world’s first and only transparent multi-touch system for professional DJ use. It allows the crowd to see exactly how a DJ is spinning the music and be part of the experience.

Guests can also doodle a message or include a monogram on the Emulator – so you can be part of the DJ’ing fun!

Even the bride Julia got in on the action!
