Brides & Weddings Magazine Feature

I had a good laugh this morning with an engagement session that got featured on Brides & Weddings Magazine.  I posted the engagements session to Two Bright Lights, which is a publishing medium. Brides & Weddings Magazine misread the information I shared about the Abbotsford Tulip Festival, and wrote an article about Alex’s grandfather being the owner of the farm. To correct the story: the owner is NOT the grandfather of Alex. The owner’s granddaughter is Alexis, and she is a totally different person.

Here is the text from my original submission:

“Alex & Cole snuggled up to keep warm from the cool spring air amongst the colorful rows of tulips at the annual Abbotsford Tulip Festival.

Background on the Tulip Festival:

Peter Warmerdam and his family immigrated from the Netherlands and settled in the Fraser Valley in 1950. Peter proudly brought his Dutch heritage, horticultural knowledge and farming experience to the Bradner area – here he would grow a few acres of daffodil flowers.

In 1974, Peter purchased land in Abbotsford’s Sumas Prairie, where he began growing gladiolus. Not long after, the family farm expanded their crops to include outdoor tulips, daffodils, and peonies along with greenhouse tulips and daffodils.

Peter’s passion for all things flowers was one that the entire Warmerdam family shared. So it wasn’t much of a surprise when Alexis, Peter’s granddaughter, came up with the idea for the Bloom Tulip Festival – so locals and tourists alike could stroll through our tulip fields and enjoy the breathtaking display of color, along with other eye-catching activities in the field.”

I’m just over here giggling at this subtle reminder of how quickly misinformation travels across the internet.

Anyways, now that you know the real story here’s the feature: http://bridesandweddings.com/blog/2018/05/22/alex-and-cole-love-in-full-bloom/
