We have absolutely no fun at work ❣️

For my entire life I was under the naive impression that the true North really was strong and free but, like many too-good-to-be-true beliefs shed through lived adulthood, I now know it is only strong and free for some. Embarrassed by my naivety, I am humbled by the discovery of the bodies of thousands of Indigenous children and saddened that the country I love so dearly is so obviously guilty of Genocide. I won’t be celebrating today. Instead I’ll be honouring these lives by holding space for them and listening to Indigenous stories. At our cottage we’ll be banging a drum on our dock 215 times in honour of all the children found, now well over 1000. And this is not a culturally appropriated choice in the use of the drum- as a family of musicians we thought a floor Tom would be loud and solemn enough to honour their spirits in nature and provide a moment to pause and reflect. Aside from this going forward, I’ll be looking for ways to honour Indigenous land owners in my work and personal life. As it stands, every @popupchapel.ca ceremony begins with a land acknowledgment but that’s not enough. I’ll be encouraging my direct clients to include land acknowledgments, to work with BIPOC vendors and to support charities like @truenorthaid. I’ll be encouraging our schools to teach our kids about Indigenous history in Canada and I’ll be speaking to my kids and my family about it. As a daughter of settlers on Turtle Island, I’m grateful for this land and the abundance and safety it has provided for me. However, all living here, especially the original owners of this land, deserve safety and abundance. I hope you can find time today to reflect on that.
A boho-chic dream true at one of Ottawa's most beautiful waterfront venues, @umbrellaottawa!

Crossing our fingers for almost an entire year as we planned to execute an out of city Capel, this chic and utterly cozy elopement turned out to be everything we dreamed of and more. 6 beautiful couples said I Do in #covidsafe style and we raised $1,800 for @blackhealthcan!
💫
The first #popupchapelottawa but certainly not the last. This August, we're heading back for another celebration and working alongside incredible vendors whose work creates magic and unforgettable experiences. If you're considering an intimate elopement this year, check out @popupchapel.ca! SO much in the works for 2021! 💚

My father, always quick with puns, shares a remake of The Ramones’ classic tune I wanna be Sedated as “I got Vaccinated”. Listen and share with friends! 😁🤦🏼♀️👌🏻🦠💉
In this video for @the_vip_collective I recount a recent event mishap and share my philosophy on thinking under pressure. I believe it’s all about identifying the problem, ignoring blame, fixing the issue at hand, and taking the time to review the situation to learn from it later.

I think what @corinnemcdonaldfilms is doing with the @the_vip_collective s amazing and if you are interested in the event industry, you should check out this awesome podcast! I’m episode 1 of season 2!

Thank you to The Globe and Mail Centre for this stress relieving treat!! The LBL team loved it!!
It's no surprise that we love using vintage and retro items in our designs! Not only does it bring a unique quality to our decor, it's also better for the environment to reuse and recycle items. In Season 2 of Crazy Beautiful Weddings on Makeful we created these Hollywood hotel inspired table numbers for Karly and Matty. ✨ Find more amazing DIYs on the LBL blog at www.lovebylynzie.com/blog

One of our favourite places to get inspiration is walking the aisles of our local hardware stores. You can make something out of anything with just a little imagination! Copper piping can be used in so many ways from candelabras to place cards.
