Calgary wedding!

Say "I Do! at the Zoo for a Memorable Wedding in Calgary
Ok, so the animal theme called upon by the 'ol "Cow-Town" moniker continues. But believe it or not, the
Calgary Zoo can actually be a great place to get married in Calgary if you adore animals and want to support the zoo with your wedding budget. First, during the summer months, their botanical gardens are absolutely stunning and make a beautiful backdrop for everything from the ceremony to your wedding photo shoot. And if you're getting married in the winter, that's no problem - you can host your ceremony in their indoor botanical gardens! Additionally, the zoo (of all places, we know!) can have their professional chefs cook up some renowned cuisine for your dining pleasure at the reception.
It's All in the Details... Finishing Touches for Your Wedding in Calgary
Once you've decided on a location for your wedding, you've got to look into the details such as the decor. Will the venue come pre-decorated? Will you need to add more decorations of your own to give it a bit more pizazz? And then there's the issue of what to give your guests as favors. These days there are lots of socially acceptable options for favors whether you want to go with something purely practical such as a photo frame to remember your day by, or something that's pure fun such as edible treats! Additionally, it's customary to gift the members of your wedding party with something special. Depending on your budget you can either go all out with something like silver jewelry for the bridesmaids, or something more modest such as the classic etched wine glass. It can take a lot of time to put all the details together. Why not save the time of driving all over the city in search of these things and
shop online instead? It's convenient and easy -
In Casa Gifts wedding shop ships daily to Calgary and carries a larger selection of favors, gifts, wedding supplies and decorations than any local store. It's
totally Canadian with thousands of items shipping from Alberta, Canada!
