If all the white stuff covering Niverville streets this past December had you seeing red, you’re not alone. Snow-clearing, or the lack thereof, has been a big topic of discussion this winter with some claiming the town hasn’t been quick or thorough enough to clean the streets after recent snowfalls. 

Throughout 2016, Niverville saw a rise in break-ins, stolen vehicles, and people rummaging through homeowners’ vehicles at night. What has truly caused a stir, though, was a machete assault at a home in Niverville just days into the new year. 

Nestled near the riverbank on the corner of Highways 311 and 200 sits an old red hip-roof barn waiting for its second life as a wedding and event centre. Nearby and across a little hand-crafted bridge sits its companion, Marigold Cottage. For years, many commuters have watched with curiosity, wondering about the purpose of the red barn on the hill. For many of us, our curiosity peaked when the old house moved in next door and slowly began its transformation into a lovely, yellow-sided cottage.

Over the past 30 years, weddings have become big business, and in the southeast this is no exception. Gone are the days of traditional church weddings with a “reception to follow in the lower auditorium.” Bridal couples and their dream events have evolved to include a huge variety of possibilities, from backyard tent weddings to ballrooms to decked-out barns. For many couples, there is a growing trend to get outside the city limits for their special day, retreating to idyllic rural settings with trees and room to move. Others, still looking for glamour and a carefree event, can find those options here too.

Unlike the other aspects of your wedding, photography is the one thing you can’t hear, smell, taste, or see on the day of your big event—but it’s one of the only things that remains afterwards. Allowing someone else to have complete control over the quality and quantity of photos taken requires trust and confidence. The stress of choosing the right person can be eased with a few helpful tips.

What’s new and fashionable is at the forefront of many women’s minds all the time, brides notwithstanding. Wedding décor and flower trends change annually as brides pursue their unique wedding look.
