Weddings EVENT PLANNING Two of our styled shoots came together with the help of Alex Torcolacci, owner of Alexandra Lillian Weddings and Events. She took the same approach she does with couples ... brainstorming ways to highlight unique Winnipeg venues. "Brides are always on the lookout for a venue that will make their wedding stand out. The modern edge that Little Brown Jug brought to the first shoot provided the perfect backdrop for an elegant wedding with a rustic twist," she says. "For the shoot at the Delta Hotel pool, we had the couple jump into the pool (wedding dress and all) to take some cool underwater shots. I hope these shoots give Winnipeg brides a new perspective when looking at wedding venues, and gives them some inspiration for their own unforgettable wedding day!" Winnipeg and the surrounding area is full of unbelievable venues you may drive right by, or never know exist. Alexandra works with brides and grooms to not only find the right venue but arrange for unconventional venues to accommodate an utterly unique and perfect wedding experience. Planning your big day, even when it seems simple, is a major undertaking if you want it to go right. In an ideal world, Alexandra would start your planning from the moment you're engaged so as to eliminate as much of your stress as possible. Instead, she finds a year of lead time is great but has pulled off incredible feats in mere weeks! Planned to the minute "The level of detail I incorporate into my planning documents and day-of timeline always surprises couples. I like to have my schedule down to the minute." — Alex Torcolacci
