VanDusen Botanical Garden set the tone for the day with its breathtaking landscape and serene atmosphere. H & J’s ceremony took place among the gardens, framed by vibrant blooms and natural beauty that needed little enhancement to feel magical.
The Look
H wanted to feel like herself, only more refined — soft pinks created a natural, polished finish.

Petal Pink Accents

Our Intermediate Stylist, Melissa, created this hair style with the following products from Kevin Murphy:

– Added Powder Puff for Volume
– Locked the style in with Session Spray
– Finished with Shimmer Me Blonde for an all day luster
The Florals
Bear’s Blooms brought a burst of color and texture to the day with bouquets that felt fresh, vibrant, and perfectly suited to a spring garden wedding. The mix of bold and pastel shades created a layered, romantic effect that stood out beautifully against the lush greenery of VanDusen Botanical Garden.
The Dress
H’s dress was the Beau by Jenny Yoo from Everly Bridal. Crafted in a textured jacquard fabric, the dress had delicate off-the-shoulder sleeves, a fitted bodice, and a full skirt that flowed with ease.
