Melissa and Michael are a perfect pair, having both dedicated their lives to helping people. Melissa is a doctor and Michael helps youth by getting them involved with his first love: break-dancing! From the lush florals to the bridesmaids’ jumpsuits, the jewel-toned colour palette was a gorgeous choice to complement the historically elegant Palais Royale. Simple-yet-classic is how we would describe this beautiful summer wedding planned by Karina Lemke. The very talented Alix Gould captures all the special moments from this chic wedding.

On the beautiful terrace overlooking the lake, the couple exchanged vows under a chuppah decorated with greenery and peach-and-blush florals.

Vintage with a contemporary flair, Melissa and Michael’s reception was effortlessly chic. A variety of bright and dark florals from Blush and Bloom were statement pieces of the ceremony and reception – we especially love the hanging floral installation above the head table! Not to mention, the lush florals added the perfect pop of colour to the simple, white table settings! String lights draped across the dark ceiling, reminiscent of the night’s sky, creating a romantic atmosphere. After dinner, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a simple two-tiered cake adorned with peach florals and capped off the night by hitting the dance floor.
