For many people, art imitates life. But for Jessica and Jed, a fashion stylist and an artist, respectively, art is life. With that in mind, the California couple planned a contemporary Canadian affair filled with inspired touches die-cut blind-embossed stationery and a 16 mm film of doves in flight for the cocktail area.

The couple's invitation suite was embellished with vintage stamps depicting love and bird themes. And simple gold bands are a nod to the couple's minimalist aesthetic.

"Bride" and "Groom" pins were picked up in England by a friend.

The wedding party enters the Trinity College Chapel for the ceremony.

The muted stained glass in Trinity College Chapel is in keeping with the couple's understated, artistic palette.

The bride and groom are pronounced husband and wife.

Jessica and Jed steal a moment away together after the ceremony.

Jed's mother's red piano provides a single burst of color at the reception, held at a ceramics museum.

Menu cards are die-cut with the couple's shared initial; the meal was prepared by famed Toronto chef Jamie Kennedy.

Arrangements of flowering branches are striking centerpieces.

Guests join the happy couple as they amble along famed Philosopher's Walk on their way to the reception.

The museum's modern decor provides the perfect backdrop for an elegant table setting with a chic dinner party vibe. Guests dined at four long, dramatic tables marked with dogwood branches.
