Design Season is Here! 🎨 From October through March, I trade weekends onsite for week days at my desk building the foundation for our client’s celebrations. Lucky for me, we are surrounded by nature’s best here in the Kootenays, which offers endless inspiration. I can’t help but slip some of this charm into each of my client’s designs in some way. 🍂
This past month, I’ve been snapping photos of the simple, joyful things that catch my eye. The beauty of this Kootenay fall has really gotten my juices flowing and has reminded me that a design epiphany {or a romantic autumn color palette} can come from the smallest detail. 🤍

🔸This palette combines soft blush and earthy neutrals with rich, grounded tones, creating a look that feels cozy, natural, and a bit nostalgic while keeping a romantic touch. It would work beautifully in designs that aim to evoke warmth, comfort, and the elegance of nature.🔸

Should I share more color palette inspo in the future?

We are starting to get galleries back from our 2024 wedding season and I have been in heaven reliving each client’s day. There are so many moments during an event that I personally miss as we are prepping for the next thing or solving a challenge. Getting to see them in picture form post wedding always has me humbled 💕 it still rocks me how fortunate I am to share such a sacred day with so many incredible individuals and the people they love the most.
Thank you to all the incredible photographers we work with for allowing us this opportunity to witness all the additional small moments 🙏🏻 Here are a few of those moments captured by .photography.weddings from A+T’s wedding that caught me 😍

Life has been a whirlwind lately— our team has been executing unforgettable weddings with incredible clients, while I’ve also been embracing the sweetest new chapter: welcoming our daughter into the family! 💕 My heart is so full as we transition to life as a family of 4, and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing team who’ve been absolute rockstars holding down the fort the last few weeks while I’ve been adjusting. Not to mention our clients who have been so trusting through this season! You all mean the world to me! 🫶
We’ve got one more beautiful wedding left to close out the season, and I’m beyond grateful for the love, support, and joy this year has brought. Here’s to finishing on high with T+R! 💫

Also thank you to for this sweet photo of me and the bump 🤍 it has been a super special personal experience to tackle another wedding season carrying one of my little loves. Pregnancy sure blows by when you’re busy celebrating and I can not believe I only had 1 week left post this photo! 🤯

I’m told 2024 is the year of hanging amaranthus and I’m all for it! Over the last few years has become the Kootenay Queen for this design element and we always hear so many comments on this small but impactful floral detail.
Reminiscing on S +J’s country style wedding 🌼 and the bouquet that had us drooling.

Every April 24th, I’m back in the forest with these two 🌿💚
T+E had a vision for their very intimate wedding day and it was such a joy to bring all their ideas together and see it all come to life for their nearest. The day may have been cold and rainy but it was absolutely {Perfect}. 🙌🏻
Grateful to share a part in these celebrations, and work alongside such incredible vendor partners! This was a .elopement.co wedding for the books! 💕

A Little Bit of Wild and a Whole Lot of Smiles . . .
Welcome Friends and fellow Wild Ones!
Thank you so much for visiting my space! Wild Smile Events stemmed from years of volunteerism, personal study and a passion for organizing the complex and tedious details that come with hosting events. Not to mention the love of celebrating all life's little wondrous moments with those I care about the most. After years of quietly dreaming about this business in my head I jumped on the courage train to make it a reality! Now I get to be creative, and give back while creating lasting memories for people to reflect back on. What an incredible opportunity!
There are so many qualities about events that I love; how they cultivate connection, and the unique atmosphere that each type creates. These aspects can truly spark magic in the human soul and unearth a hidden sense of joy. I have been extremely fortunate to have attended many events throughout my life that have left a lasting impact on me and now that is what I like to do for my clients. I will 100% argue that More Celebrations = More Happiness!
As a company, Wild Smile Events, helps clients who are authentic, courageous in their thoughts, and adventurous put together an event that will be unique to themselves but also memorable and fun for every guest in attendance. We specialize in outdoor events and make sure to include extra ode to the beauty of the Kootenay nature that we live in. We love connection and strive to create a relationship with our clients over just giving them a simple service.
When I'm not checking off to-dos for the latest celebration or volunteering with a local non-profit, you'll probably find me with my family (above) in a situation that involves an outdoor adventure, a hammock and me with my nose in a book, a steaming cup of tea in one hand and an oreo in the other!
Thanks for coming by, I hope our paths connect again soon !
