ISSUE 2 — Agenda vs Experience⁠ ⁠ An agenda tells ISSUE 2 — Agenda vs Experience⁠ ⁠ An agenda tells people what’s happening.⁠ It doesn’t tell them why it matters.⁠ ⁠ When events feel flat, it’s often because the schedule was built before the experience was considered.⁠ ⁠ Design the feeling first.⁠ Then build the agenda to support it.⁠ ⁠ ISSUE 2: You can get the newsletter Issues via LinkedIn or by signing up for our email newsletter - link in bio!⁠ ⁠ ⬅️ Swipe for the reframe.⁠
I love it when our couples go bold with their fash I love it when our couples go bold with their fashion choices. ⁠ ⁠ Kristy & Josh had a fall wedding, early fall, but they still played with some really great summer tones too, and the bridesmaids' dresses are a great example of that. Such a fun colour (and very "I can wear this again" which we all love). ⁠ ⁠ Location - Private Property ⁠ ⁠ Photographer - Sara Olson Photography⁠ @saraholsonphotography⁠ ⁠ Wedding Management & Design - Amanda Douglas Events⁠ @amandadouglasevents ⁠ ⁠ Florals - Oak and Lily⁠ @oakandlily⁠ ⁠ Commissioner - Katie Buchanan ⁠ ⁠ Hair - Gingersnips Salon ⁠ @gingersnipssalon⁠ ⁠ Makeup - Desiree Morrisseau⁠ @makeupbydcmk⁠ ⁠ DJ - Trident Sound⁠ ⁠ Linens, Chairs & Tent - Pinnacle Events⁠ @pinnacleeventrentals⁠ ⁠ Catering - Benny’s⁠ ⁠ Bartending - Nomad Box Bar⁠ @nomadboxbar⁠ ⁠ Transportation - Brandon Bus Lines⁠
