Sanctuary Gardens Elopement Packages: A Romantic Small Wedding in West Kelowna

Imagine the moment before you walk down the aisle. Your favourite song begins, the people closest to you turn to look, and beyond the ceremony space, Okanagan Lake stretches toward the mountains. There is room to breathe, to take their hand, and to remember every word.

A Sanctuary Gardens elopement in West Kelowna offers that intimate kind of romance. With Pickadilly’s, the setting comes together with thoughtful planning, professional photography, an officiant, and the little details that make a small wedding feel deeply personal.

A garden wedding with Okanagan Lake views

Sanctuary Gardens brings together a peaceful garden setting, a timber-framed ceremony pavilion, and sweeping lake and mountain views. It is a lovely choice for couples dreaming of a small Okanagan wedding with a sense of occasion and a little storybook charm.

Picture your vows framed by the pavilion, chairs gathered close to the aisle, and flowers drawing your eye toward the person waiting for you. After the ceremony, the garden and lake views create a beautiful backdrop for portraits together.

Floral colour palettes that feel like you

Your garden wedding does not have to look like anyone else’s. With the Signature Elopement, choose a floral palette that reflects your style, from timeless whites to a gentle wash of colour.

  • Classic White: elegant, luminous, and beautifully understated.
  • White & Green: a fresh garden feeling that complements the surroundings.
  • Soft Blush: delicate colour for a romantic ceremony.
  • Pastels: a soft mix of colours with a playful garden feel.
  • White & Blue: a graceful palette beside the lake.
  • White & Lavender: gentle purple tones for a dreamy floral setting.
  • Green & Burgundy: richer colour for a more dramatic look.

Have a different colour combination in mind? Share it in your inquiry. Shannon can discuss what is possible and confirm the flowers, design, and any additional cost before you book. The fresh bouquet and boutonnière are separate from the Real Touch ceremony installations.

A beautiful place to sign your next chapter

There is something lovely about the quieter moments of a wedding: the shared smile as you sit together, the pen passed from hand to hand, and the realization that you are now married.

Your signing table and chairs are included in both packages. With the Signature Elopement, signing-table flowers carry your chosen floral story through this part of the ceremony, too.

Planning and ceremony-day coordination by Shannon

A smaller wedding should still feel cared for. Shannon with Pickadilly’s helps bring your venue, ceremony details, floral choices, and timing together, so you can spend less time managing arrangements and more time looking forward to the day.

Your complimentary site visit gives you a chance to explore the setting and picture the experience. On the day, ceremony coordination helps the celebration flow, while the Signature package also includes floral installation and removal.

Choose the song you want to walk toward, the colours you love, and the people you want beside you. We will help bring those decisions together into a celebration that feels personal.

An intimate ceremony, with room for your own celebration afterward

These packages focus on your elopement ceremony. You might follow your vows with a restaurant dinner, a private family celebration, or a quiet evening together. Plan reception food, drinks, and accommodation separately from the ceremony package.

It can be a wedding day that feels beautifully considered without the scale of a large reception: meaningful vows, lovely photographs, and time with the people you love.
