Having journeyed through eight beautiful years together, Victoria and Nico’s wedding day was the culmination of their deep connection and shared dreams. The couple chose as their wedding venue the stunning Harding Waterfront Estate in Mississauga, Ontario, originally built in 1938 and home to a historic mansion and gorgeous tented glass pavilion.

On the morning of the big day, the couple got dressed in their childhood homes, surrounded by the beloved bridal party. Victoria had chosen a beautiful Calathea Gown by Alena Leena, a bridal house based in Ukraine. The country’s ongoing conflict forced a temporary halt in production, but luckily work resumed in time for Victoria to wear the dress of her dreams. It’s a dress that has travelled across borders, made by a team in Ukraine living amid war and conflict. Victoria was honoured to wear a gown with such a remarkable story.
Once arriving at the Harding Waterfront Estate, she couldn’t wait for Nico to see her in her dress. The couple had planned a private moment ahead of the ceremony for their first look. The big reveal was emotional for them both as they shared a tearful embrace. It’s a tender memory that they’ll cherish forever.
The outdoor ceremony was equally emotional, with the couple surrounded by loved ones. The estate’s lavish grounds served as the perfect backdrop to their personalized vows, which drew plenty of tears from all those in attendance.
The celebration continued throughout the night with a reception that included delectable food and flowers meticulously arranged by Plush Flowers. A fun surprise for guests was a mobile Espresso Bar, thoughtfully provided by Espresso Uno, which dished out steaming cups of cappuccinos featuring delicate latte art and imprinted hearts. To reflect the couple’s desired wedding theme of Modern & Minimalist, the reception was decked out in a monochromatic palette of black and white, accentuated by elegant greenery. Candles cast a romantic glow, infusing the air with enchantment.
And so, surrounded by love, Victoria and Nico embarked on their new journey as one. Their wedding day was at Harding Waterfront Estate was an enchanting celebration, a testament to their unwavering love, and a reminder of the profound beauty that lies within shared moments.
