Elegant Royal York Hotel Wedding

It was a beautiful fall day for Alexa and Jon Micheal’s elegant Royal York Hotel Wedding in Toronto. The decor and flowers were designed to accent the existing beauty of this historical Toronto gem. No detail was overlooked and even the couples little pooch had an adorable floral wreath.

Sometimes our down town Toronto weddings have an urban or modern vibe, however Jon Michael and Alexa, wanted to embrace the romantic nostalgia of the iconic Royal York. We did this with classic ivory and blush flowers on our sleek mirrored stands which lined the aisle for the ceremony. In addition, two over sized gold urns filled with roses, hydrangeas, and foliage created a beautiful focal point and alter area for the couple to say their ‘Ido’s’.

Finally, thank you to Wedluxe Magazine for featuring this elegant Royal York Hotel wedding on their blog and to Found In Love for the stunning images. Also, as always, it is such a pleasure to work with our sweet friends at Laura & Co. Events.

We designed the space with candle light and classic flower arrangements. Our mirrored stands lined the aisle and were detailed with fresh floral arrangements and tall candelabras.  Low groupings of pillars candles accented the space and created a magical entrance way for Alexa and her bridesmaids. royal-york-hotel-wedding-ballroom-flowers

Later our team would flip the room and re-set for the reception. Since, the head table was lined with towering gold candelabras, low florals and glowed with groupings of candles to add a floral element. In addition to the head table, low centrepieces graced the guest tables. These were large and detailed flower arrangements in vintage gold mercury vessels. Flower collections included ivory garden roses, white lisianthus, cream hydrangeas and mixed foliage showcasing a beautiful display for family and friends.gold-candelabra-centrepieces-torontoivory-wedding-flowers-torontoivory-roses-centrepieces-toronto-wedding-flowersreception-toast-royal-york-hotel-wedding

Modern Chic Wedding At Malaparte

Kaitlyn and Jason’s chic wedding at Malaparte was infused with modern touches and bold colours. The colourful palette accented with black details created magic in both the terrace tent as well as the dining room. I loved working with this couple! Kaitlyn wanted something a little ‘different’ for the flowers and decor, while still maintaining an elegant look! Long low colourful florals in reds grouped in mirrored boxes lined the gallery tables.  Black grace chairs added a pop of contrast and gave this wedding an edgy look. The bold palette looked stunning against the white lined ceremony tent and had guests swooning. The bridal flowers were bold infused with organic accents. Mokara orchids, roses and foliage were hand tied together for the bridal bouquets. This wedding was featured on the Wedluxe blog and now share it with you!  Stunning images by Wandering Eye photography. malaparte-wedding-torontotoronto-wedding-stationeryred-wedding-bouquet-torontotoronto-weddings-groomsmen

Victor and Matina’s Cherry Blossom Wedding At Grand Luxe

Last spring, we created something magical at the Grand Luxe for Matina and Victor. Metamorphosis Greek church in Toronto was decorated with cherry blossoms which lined the aisle. The historical church’s beautiful architecture created a stunning back drop for the display of spring blooms. As guests arrived for cocktail hour to the foyer at the Grand Luxe, they mingled under our custom ceiling high cherry blossom tree. Life size table top cherry blossom trees were also created for the gallery guest tables and were definitely show stoppers for the couples guest. The stunning decor was soft and elegant and added the freshness of spring to the main room at the Grand Luxe. Matina and Victor dined in an intimate yet grand custom canopy created with silk blush fabric which matched the linens. Our classic cut crystal candelabras and coordinating candle stands added to the romantic and sophisticated look. Such a pleasure to work with this lovely couple. Thank you to Mango Studios for sharing your beautiful images with us!  grand-luxe-cherry-blossom-wedding-toronto
