PENDER ISLAND WEDDING “HUNTER GATSBY GLAM” BY JONETSU STUDIOS

Hi There!  Yay, time to get blogging again!  Julia and Reid were married on beautiful Pender Island BC at Julia’s family estate.  

Relationships, heritage and true Northern spirit were focuses during the wedding and days surrounding.  The way everything came together so elegantly was really due to the efforts of so many people, including family, many artists and service providers chosen by Julia and Reid and of course, the couple themselves.  So much love.

New to our blog, we want to get into the minds of some of our favourite artists and service providers whose work and ethics really stand out at each wedding.  At Julia and Reid’s wedding, we were blown away by the efforts and vision of Seattle-based Steve and Jamie Moore of http://www.sinclairandmoore.com .  They were kind, extremely dedicated to Julia and Reid and to providing significant quality and wow factor.  I asked Steve about his inspiration for Reid and Julia’s decor (you’ll see Steve and Jamie pictured later around the decor images):

“When it came to designing Julia and Reid’s wedding I have to admit I was initially stumped by the challenge they presented to me.  Julia wanted a glamourous affair with a bit of bling.  Reid wanted to include a nod to his love for the wild outdoors, hunting and taxidermy.  Although the two ideas could not be more drastically different, I intertwined both styles to create what we referred to as ‘Hunter Gatsby Glam’.  We accomplished this by infusing art deco patterns, rich silks, chandeliers and candelabras with stag heads, antlers, furs and taxidermy.  We further created this style juxtaposition by creating flower arrangements of lush garden roses, lace hap hydrangeas and ranunculus were mixed with wild textures, climbing vines and fruiting branches. The combination was unique and distinctive to the couple, while still retaining the essence of classic timeless elegance. It was rewarding seeing it all come together.”
