We looooove this wedding and are super excited that it is the first Montreal wedding to be featured on The Nuptial Notebook. Not only did Sheila Boardman of Photohouse Montreal(http://www.photohousemontreal.com/) capture great moments, but clearly evident is the couple's attention to detail. Alexandra and Olivier drew from their creative and nostalgic sides to pull together a memorable and intimate occasion.
This rustic affair took place at Auberge Des Gallant (http://www.gallant.qc.ca/) in Ste-Marthe, Quebec (near Rigaud- about 40 minutes West of Montreal). The country setting is perfect for those of you looking for a cozy venue. The Maple Pavillion, shown above, has a capacity of 150. If you like the look of the Pavillion with these chairs, we suggest getting in touch with ABP Locations (http://www.groupeabp.com/), as that was the bride & groom's vendor. You should expect to pay approximately $8/chair + taxes and delivery. A nice twist on the traditional, are the long rectangular tables included with the venue.
The ceremony took place outside at the Auberge but the nearby town of Hudson has a couple of small, quaint churches if you prefer. If you want an outdoor ceremony, plan for rain and keep in mind that a tent will run you at least $500.
Alexandra's elegant dress was bought in France and is by the Dutch designer, Imogene (http://www.imogene.nl/). Her necklace was bought in the UK as well as the groom's suit (http://www.gievesandhawkes.com/). The bride's lovely hairpiece was borrowed from a friend however you can find similarly stylish bridal/bridesmaid accesories on http://www.etsy.com/.
The bouquets and centrepieces were created by Centre Floral Hollandia (http://www.hollandiafloral.com/).
**NOTEBOOK HIGHLIGHT**- Alexandra bought mason jars to be used as vases. She brought them to the florist beforehand for a cost-effective alternative to having the florist rent vases.
To enhance the country feel of the space, the bride bought baskets from the Dollar Store and filled them with local organic produce.
