An Interview with Wired 4 Weddings

AN INTERVIEW WITH

Karen Sanderson is an expert on bringing wedding dreams to life. As the founder and owner of Wired 4 Weddings, Sanderson designs weddings and events from her home base of the Cypress Hills in Southwest Saskatchewan. An interest in decorating events spurred her to take classes at the institute of Wedding/Event Design (IWED) in Las Vegas as well as the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada (WPIC). Working from the Cypress Hills provides not only an incredibly picturesque backdrop for weddings, but gives a great deal of satisfaction to Sanderson. “The most fulfilling part of my job is providing a needed service in our corner of the province,” she says. “It is no secret that I love what I do,” touting the personal relationships, speeches and toasts, and connections with other industry professionals as favourite facets of her job. When you partner with Wired 4 Weddings, the path to creating your dream day begins with a consultation where Sanderson collaborates with you to create a mood board of colours and styles that resonate with you and your partner. After the budget is set, she gets to work bringing those ideas into reality, creating the intimate space you’ve imagined. Wedding trends come and go (and often return, according to Sanderson who has six years of wedding design under her belt), but pushing a couple towards a style or away from something they love is not something she would ever do. “I don’t believe in dictating styles, I just embrace whatever the couple loves and likes for their individual style and budget. None of our weddings are ever the same.” Continued on pg. 18

Wired 4 Weddings Continued from pg. 17 While much of her event planning takes place in the Cypress Hills, a little travel never halts her having journeyed as far as a seven hour drive from home base for a wedding. Vendors and couples alike who have worked with Sanderson say the relationship they build with her makes them feel more like a close friend than a client. Her genuine personality shines through in every interaction. Regular comments from her past clients tout her generosity with her time as she delivers a polished and complete product on the wedding day that surpasses expectations. Sanderson has truly found her calling in delighting couples by designing stunning weddings. “I love being part of a team of professional vendors that come together to create flawless, magical wedding weekends for each and every couple.”

Nikki from Captured by Nikki shared these stunning photos from a wedding last spring. The ceremony took place in the Cypress Hills which in and of itself is a such a special location. “Jon & Jessica had a gorgeous wedding last spring in Cypress Hills. It was one of my first Covid Weddings and was honestly, perfection! They hired Wired4Weddings to decorate their outdoor ceremony & indoor reception at Cypress Hills, SK. Every detail at Jon & Jessica’s wedding was thoughtfully planned out. My favourite thing was the outdoor church that was setup by Wired4Weddings in the middle of the forest. Seemed like something from a dream.” - Nikki

Our favourite place to design weddings is at the beautiful Cypress Hills Park incorporating the natural wonder the scenery has to offer.

We love designing intimate weddings at the multiple locations offered by The Resort at Cypress Hills.
