Darnell And Mikaylas Stunning Garden Wedding At Graydon Hall

February 7, 2023February 1, 2023 by Rachel

Hockey fans stay tuned because today we are sharing NHL, Edmonton Oiler, Darnell Nurse and his beautiful bride, Mikaylas’ stunning garden wedding at Graydon Hall. I might just have an extra crush on this wedding because Mikayla and Darnell are former ‘Soo-ites’. The beautiful bride grew up in Northern Ontario, in my home town Sault Ste. Marie. Darnell played for the Sault Greyhounds and the love birds met in their high school days at St. Marys.

But lets talk about their wedding because, well, we love creating beautiful weddings and theirs was no exception. Mikayla wanted an elegant and classic look for this special day. A look that would never go out of style. A look that would compliment the existing gardens at Graydon Hall and not distract from it. Delicate white blooms and fresh foliages hi-lighted this wedding and included a floral lined aisle and a beautiful floral arch. We worked closely with Muse & Co. on this one and the day was flawless.

Thank you Darnell and Mikayla for trusting us with your special day. For a full list of vendors see bottom of post.
