Rustic Barn Wedding at Roddick’s Barn, BC

Sweet Elegance in the Barn

Posted September 12, 2025

When rustic charm meets sweet elegance, magic happens — and that’s exactly what unfolded at Chanel and Poul’s wedding. Set against the backdrop of Roddick’s Barn in Ladner, British Columbia, their day radiated joy, creativity and effortless style. Their rustic-chic barn wedding combined country charm with timeless elegance — think long harvest tables lined with bud vases, sage napkins, unique flatware, and textured glassware making for a very playful and thoughtful design. From Chanel’s breathtaking bridal look to the couple’s hands-on approach with florals and décor, every detail of Sweet Elegance in the Barn felt personal and full of heart. Most memorable of all was the way they embraced each moment, laughing, dancing and celebrating with the people they love most. DreamGroup planner Sydney Power supported Chanel and Poul in bringing the sweetest vision and planning efforts to life!

Have you heard about the Engaged Vancouver Wedding Show?

What were the highlights of this wedding Sydney? What did you love most?

“My bride Chanel had one of the most beautiful bridal looks I’ve seen in a long time. I was speechless when I opened the limo door to greet her. Chanel is already a naturally stunning woman, but paired with perfectly appointed hair and makeup and the most gorgeous dress she radiated effortless beauty! Just WOW! I loved watching Chanel and Poul have so much fun and just be in the moments together. Chanel put a lot of time into planning and trying to be mindful of costs so they chose to do some DIY with the florals and set up everything themselves. The wedding had such a joyful vibe and they truly enjoyed every moment with the people that came to celebrate them!”

What was the theme, colours, and overall feeling?

“If I had to sum it up I would call it… Barn Elegance. It was such a sweet and perfect way for Chanel and Poul to celebrate their union! There were two long rows of beautiful harvest tables with bud vases scattered down the tables. Beautiful place settings from Pedersens Rentals with fun flatware mixed in with textured glass plates and sage napkins. It was a really fun and playful combination.”

What was the most successful part of the day?

“How happy Chanel and Poul were, along with their families! They felt supported and trusted us which is the ultimate goal, allowing them to focus on being present and having fun!”

Love was certainly sweet with Lee’s Donuts and treats!

“Sydney at DreamGroup was so fantastic, we would hire her again in a heartbeat. We interviewed multiple companies and knew from the beginning DreamGroup was the right fit. They knew our venue well and understood our vision. Sydney was very responsive and willing to provide input and ideas without overstepping. Her day of service made the entire event such a breeze and took off any responsibility we might have had so that we could thoroughly enjoy the day. Any hiccups were either managed without us knowing, or Sydney would provide two options with her opinion and all we have to do was simply choose. I would highly recommend their services!” ~ Chanel Liski
