The Barn
Ceremony & Reception
We are having our ceremony and reception here. Instead of the traditional row of chairs we are inviting our guests to take their seats at the tables and we are going to create an aisle right down the middle and get married in front of the fireplace. There are going to lights, lights, lights and candles everywhere.
It is going to be a military wedding with my husband in his Calgary Police Ceremonial Uniform. His daughters are both in the Navy and will be in Navy dress uniforms. The paster is also a police member and he, too, will be in uniform. We will have six swordsmen for the arch of swords. We will be escorted by a piper and drummer from the Calgary Police Pipe Band. Like I said, this is his Cinderella wedding. Check out the photos of the Hall and the surrounding park and pathways (of course, the trees would be green in May) A little bit of history: This barn was built in the early 1920's and was refurbished in the late 70's as a community centre. The barn is the last standing barn within the city limits of Calgary that is still usable. Its cedar walls encompass the most beautiful fireplace, which roars its warmth in the winter, and lends to a quiet comfort in the summer. The huge sliding glass doors opposite the fireplace open onto the outdoor patio and the green space. Ironically, our colours are cream and blue - and the photos show white and blue. |

Centerpieces
Gonna rebuild in my colours
Got these on ebay as well - 10 for under $45.00. Couldn't lose on this one. Centerpieces are very expensive. I am going to take some of the flowers out and add blue ones and some callas

Wedding Flowers
Navy Blue and Cream
Gotta have Calla Lilies. They are so elegant. The flowers are being made by my friend in BC. All cream Calla Lilies, Cream Roses and Navy Blue Roses. I was able to buy all my flowers on ebay for a really good price. Consider 168 roses (3" head, long stem) for under $50, including delivery.I love the navy ones. I can't wait to see what my friend puts together.

This is the second time around for both of us and this time it is his Cinderella wedding. I have almost everything bought and planned already. Ebay is a great place to buy favors, decorations, etc.
