Three brides, one spectacular venue – The Leaf at Assiniboine Park. We’re talking about a horticultural haven that takes you on a journey through four distinct worlds. It’s like a wedding wonderland where you can escape to the Mediterranean or find solace in a tropical oasis. And yes, it’s all indoors, so no need to worry about unpredictable Manitoba weather playing spoiler on your big day.

Now, why three brides, you ask? Well, we wanted diversity, darling! Each bride brought her unique charm, allowing us to showcase different styles and vibes in various nooks of The Leaf. It’s like a wedding trifecta, and who doesn’t love a triple dose of bridal beauty?

The vision for this shoot was modern and clean, mirroring the fresh, vibrant atmosphere of The Leaf. Think greenery galore and natural-looking photography opportunities that’ll make your Instagram followers swoon.

Embracing the lush surroundings and playing with dark and white contrasts on the tablescape resulted in pure magic.

The harvest-style table was a feast for the eyes. Picture lower flower arrangements dancing alongside assorted height taper candles, creating peaks and valleys in the design. It was like Mother Nature and contemporary chic had a lovechild, and we were there to capture every glorious moment.

We wanted this shoot to feel elevated, and boy, did it deliver. The Leaf provided the perfect backdrop for the creative endeavors, and we’re bursting with excitement to share the stunning results with you in the Manitoba edition of Mint Wedding.

TIP - Black doesn’t have to look harsh, you can soften black with different textures and colours but it just adds a slightly cool urban vibe.
