Elizabeth and Jason's Sparkling Hills Resort wedding is this weekend, and last minute details and preparations are coming together.  After months of planning for this East Coast couple, I can't wait to see the beauty of their day unfold.  Sparkling Hill Resort is the perfect venue for them.  The multi faceted beauty of this resort reflects this couple's tastes entirely.   Modern European inspired design and luxury with minimalism, the Swarovski crystal infused elements throughout emulating natural elements found outside.  Absolutely enchanting!



Elizabeth's mum lives in Alberta, much closer than the couple, so she has been the driving force behind all the details and planning.  Elizabeth and some of her bridesmaids are Graduates of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet school and present and former ballet dancers.  So the stylings should match the polish and demeanor of the bride.




The couple's wish list for their day, was a sophisticated, formal event, with no kitchy elements, elegant but not stiff.    Good food and wine, a planned reception agenda, thoughtful inclusions for their ceremony and foremost they wanted their guests to enjoy everything the Okanagan Valley has to offer during their stay here.

So ultimately their day is proving to be glorious!
