Peach Grove Celebration At Graydon Hall

On a hot summer day in August David and I celebrated the 25th anniversary of Rachel A. Clingen Wedding & Event Design with many of our Toronto wedding industry friends and staff, that have in one way or another, contributed to the success of  our little company over the years. The summer soiree was hosted at beautiful Graydon Hall, who’s service and food was second to none. Our team transformed the terrace into a floral infused peach grove. Guests dined under peach trees at long white washed gallery tables loaded with crates of peaches and flowers.   We were touched by the kindness of so many who contributed to the day by sharing their respective talents and products with us to make it such a special occasion.  Every vendor mentioned in the credits below went above and beyond and we are truly touched by everyone’s generosity.

Rustic Romance For Casey And Kristy’s Palais Royale Wedding

New York Islander, Nhl hockey player Casey Cizikas and his absolutely gorgeous bride Kristy tied the knot at Knox Chapel, followed by a beautiful reception at Palais Royale. The rustic meets romance decor captured Kristy’s love for natural elements like white washed wood and gardens of flowers. Kristy did not want her wedding to look over pretentious, but rather warm and inviting, intimate and romantic. Our team transformed Palais room with a full room draping and beautiful flowers. Unique decor elements included suspended lanterns over guest tables and stunning cascading floral canopy over the head table. We mixed rustic elements such as harvest tables and vineyard chairs with beautiful crystal candlesticks and crystal charger plates. The unique rustic/elegant theme was further developed with with a custom white washed, barn board dance floor. Casey and Cody’s head table was accented by a pretty back drop in cream and blush tones. Congratulations to Kristy and Casey! Thank you for choosing us to create magic for your special day!  Wonderful day collaborating with wedding planner Karina Lemke and stunning images by Corina V.
