Beautiful Muskoka Lake & Forest Wedding: Jaime & Tim
Words by Jaime & Tim. Images by Katie Hood & Vimeo by Brightside Films.
On a visit to Ontario my grandparents farm, Tim proposed by the pond while on a dog walk with our black lab Mowgli. I always wanted to get married at our family cottage in Bala Muskoka Canada. Our family has had property there for over 100 years.
I fell in love with my Nicole Miller dress online and drove to Chicago with my mom and MOH just to try it on. I loved the lace and the back. I wanted to wear my moms veil to honor her and I loved the head piece. The floral wreath was one of my favourite pieces of the wedding.
We were both very relaxed the whole day the boys going swimming an hour before the ceremony!
Arriving by boat was also always a dream and to have my dad drive our neighbours old wooden boat was definitely a highlight of the day. People loved seeing the bride come around the point. Everyone was cheering as the boat zoomed by.
It is a very special place for us. We decided to get married out by the bell on the point where my aunts cottage is. Our wedding style was rustic chic and were going for relaxed elegance. I knew I wanted white rose pedals covering the bell.
We met 10 years ago in Jasper, Alberta, Canada. Tim took me on a rafting boat trip down the river. After that night we spent the whole summer together having fun in the mountains.
I was 18 travelling out west and after that summer I went back to University in Montreal, missing the mountains (and Tim) I transferred to University of Alberta. We moved back and forth from Ontario and Alberta and finally settled in Jasper.
It was a hot summer day and everyone was able to experience the Northern Ontario Muskoka experience.
The reception at Muskoka Bay Club added elegance to our evening. The first dance by Sparkler was such a magical moment.
The best piece of wedding advice we received was “Don’t listen to anyone’s advice!” I still remember that and thought it was perfect since every marriage is different. I think of that advice now as we are expecting our first child in September.
The video captures the story of our day and really makes us feel like we are reliving all the best moments of the best day of our lives. I love how Laura incorporated our first dance song “Every Mile of the Ride” by Lindi Ortega

Wow! What a super elegant wedding with a lovely, rustic chic vibe! I’m also ridiculously in love with the elegant table decor. Those beautiful bottles and florals are so giving me wedding envy…
It’s also super sweet that Jaime honoured her mother by wearing her stunning juliet cap veil before swapping it over for that adorable crown.
