Meet the Couple 💑
Names: Alejandra & Michal
From: Canada
Together For: 8 years
Wedding Date: May 1st, 2025
Location: Muskoka, Ontario
Why did you choose Muskoka for your wedding?
“Because it is peaceful and far from the city — and had great outdoor areas.”
The venue’s natural beauty allowed their love story to shine without any need for elaborate decor. Between the intimate lakeside views and soft woodland atmosphere, every detail spoke of calm, closeness, and a love rooted in nature.
What was your wedding theme and color palette?
“Nature and outdoors.”
Colors: Beige, light rose, and pink rose.
Soft and romantic, the tones complemented the bride’s bouquet — a dreamy mix of roses and eucalyptus by Petals & Oak. The couple leaned into the natural setting with ease, proving how much impact simplicity can have when it's styled intentionally.
Tell us about your outfits!
The Bride:
“Bohemian lace angel sleeves wedding dress and Converse.”
Let’s pause on that: Converse! Not just any Converse — embroidered with florals and dragonflies, perfectly playful and personal. Proof that comfort and style can coexist beautifully.
The Groom:
Michal wore a navy blazer, white shirt, and light pants, echoing the lake and sky tones of their surroundings. Classic yet relaxed — exactly right for an outdoor spring wedding.
What was your favorite part of the day?
“Going back home stress free! lol”
We love this answer because it highlights a truth about minimalist weddings: when you strip away the excess, you're left with what really matters — each other. And maybe a few extra cupcakes
Any DIY details you’re proud of?
“All the organization — we didn’t have a wedding coordinator.”
From invitations to vendor logistics, Alejandra and Michal managed every aspect themselves. And the result? A day that felt authentic and entirely theirs.
What about the cake? 🍰
Their two-tiered cake by Cake and Cozy stole the show — styled to look like birch wood, complete with etched initials (“M + A”) and topped with pinecones and greenery. Whimsical, woodsy, and full of heart.
Was there music?
“Just during the ceremony — instrumental music from Spotify.”
Understated, emotional, and deeply personal — this couple embraced a minimalist mindset through and through.
Anything you’d change?
“It’s expensive no matter how many guests you have.”
A real reminder: while a minimalist or micro-wedding reduces some costs, the essentials (food, attire, photos, etc.) still add up. But the emotional return on investment? Absolutely priceless.
What’s your secret to a happy relationship?
“Patience!”
Short, sweet, and right on point.
Where did you honeymoon?
“Europe!”
A perfect choice for continuing the romance — slow travel, old-world charm, and lots of wine-fueled toasts to the next chapter.
Final thoughts from Blush
Alejandra and Michal’s wedding is a gentle reminder that meaning > material. You don’t need elaborate setups or a huge guest list to have a stunning, joy-filled day. What you do need is authenticity, intention, and a little patience — just like they said.
