There is something so beautiful about a barn. Let me start over...

Last night I was shooting a faux wedding at Wychwood Barns Gallery and although we were lacking an actual bride the location couldn't be beat. Taking full advantage of all the amazing textures right in the heart of the city got me thinking about what an actual wedding on a farm would be like. They seem to be popping up everywhere these days, not to mention replacing the ever traditional (yawn) banquet hall.

The photos speak for themselves, this city gal is all for the country!

{J'adore Ophelie}

Being a bridesmaid this Valentine's Day is not only the perfect excuse to forgo the annual Hallmark festivities, but it gives me a reason to get (as my Grams would say) all dolled up! Lucky for me, the bride-to-be hails from London, England, which could only mean one thing: free fashion reign - hence, our hair fascinators.

As a personal fan of Montreal-based Ophelie Hats and the proud owner of one very special vintage headband from Paris, I am of course more than thrilled to sport these charming adornments in my updo next Sunday.
