Two weeks ago we went to Ottawa for my cousin’s wedding. It was a rather short trip but we got to visit the Rideau Canal before heading home. The fall colours were lovely. And I found an owl! :D

The wedding was held at this castle-like hotel. It was one of the most glamorous weddings I’ve ever been invited to, and so very happy to see my cousin marrying her true love! :D

So throughout the summer I worked on adding a sash to this dress so it looks a bit more formal for the occasion…

… and I clipped this fabric flower I made on the back. I also bought this vintage porcelain rose earring and necklace set from a very friendly shop owner on Etsy. I thought it matched my dress well :)

The hotel was right next door to Parliament Hill. A levitating photo is in order.

Hope everyone’s having a good weekend!
