Natalie and Thor were married on September 4, 2021, at a private family estate in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Event planning and design assistance was provided by Sincerely Yours Events .
The couple exchanged their vows underneath an oversized floral arch overlooking the water. The plein-air woodland setting was also enhanced with a dramatic thirty-foot-long aisle. Natalie arrived in style to the ceremony with her father in a vintage family car. Vintage was a theme woven throughout the day in subtle ways including the bride’s vintage Oscar de la Renta wedding gown.

Natalie wore a vintage Oscar de la Renta Gown gown and vintage jewellery. Her engagement ring also represented ‘something old’ as it once belonged to her maternal great-grandmother. Thor wore a tuxedo by Tom Ford.
The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra provided a string quartet for the ceremony.
The estate’s one-kilometre driveway was lined with paper bag lanterns for a twinkling pathway to and from the event. The design was by Sincerely Yours Events.
The reception was held in an open-air tent from Pinnacle Event Rentals. The beautiful floral and decor inside the tent felt like a natural extension of the outdoor setting. Floral design was provided by Winnipeg’s Beyond Flowers. Several fourteen-foot ficus trees accented with fresh blooms appeared to grow from between the dining tables and served as beautiful focal points for the space.
As a personal touch, a watercolour painting of the couple’s beloved pooch was printed on the menus and the oversized (12ft x 12ft!) seating chart.
Guests enjoyed a four-course plated dinner catered by THE FAIRMONT WINNIPEG. A fun late-night snack was also made available when a pizza truck from GINO’S PIZZA rolled up to the party! A Cigar Lounge featuring tequila, scotch and cognac was also available for guests to relax in, and imbibe.
