(May.29.07)
Winter wedding, anyone? Yes, we know it’s May 29! But May was the perfect month for Sweetspot writer Joanne Latimer to start planning an off-season ceremony (Think Dr. Zhivago with fairy lights). You just might be inspired… 
The Arrival Cocktail
Guests were served a glass of award-winning Neige apple ice wine from Hemmingford, Quebec. Notes of vanilla and a rich amber colour made it the perfect conversation piece (between sips, of course).

The Music
Joanne walked down the isle to Whistlepig’s bluegrass rendition of Dirty Old Town, followed by classic Neil Diamond.

In keeping with the wedding’s Russian epic theme, Joanne’s three-layer chocolate cake was covered with white icing, snowflakes and silvery winter sparkle.

The Fur
Strapless dresses in January have one requirement: A fur stole. (It was recycled and resplendent.)
