Set against the historic backdrop of Club Atwater Montreal, established in 1926, this styled shoot epitomized timeless elegance with a touch of English sophistication. Each space, from the opulent grand ballroom with its high ceilings and minimalist decor to the bright, airy room where the ceremony unfolded, complemented the romantic and luxurious elements brought to life in this setup. Planned by Agence Aurea and photographed by Sophie Asselin , candlelight and plenty of drapery brought this minimalistic yet elegant inspo shoot to life.

Capturing timeless elegance, the bride's makeup and hairstyle by Atelier Eva Blanca radiated a classic yet modern charm.

Creative advice: How to mix textures

For brides looking to replicate this look, mixing textures that feel luxurious and dimensional, from the opulence of silverware to the softness of drapery, the ethereal quality of sheer fabrics, the timelessness of ceramics, the organic allure of deconstructed flowers, the plushness of velvet, the sophistication of linen paper, the transparency of glass elements, and the inviting warmth exuded by flickering candles is absolutely the best way to approach this. The interplay of tactile experiences creates a multi-dimensional ambiance that is rich in character and visual interest.

Incorporating sentimental heirlooms

When it comes to silverware, consider adding a personal touch by borrowing pieces from those dear to you. Infusing your table setting with heirloom pieces not only adds sentimental value but also interweaves stories and memories into the fabric of your celebration.
