Mitch Marner Marries Steph Lechance At Peller Estates

February 1, 2024January 5, 2024 by Rachel

I’m so excited to share Toronto Maple Leaf, NHL Hockey player, Mitch Marner and his university sweet heart Stephanie’s beautiful wedding. What a pleasure to work with this couple on their stunning tent wedding at Peller Estates. Stephanies’ kind and sweet spirit made our meetings special! The couple initially met in elementary school, however Stephanie shares, ” We reconnected when I was at Western University and he was playing hockey for the London Knights. He messaged me on my 19th birthday, we eventually got together and then have been together ever since.” Six years later, Mitch proposed at their Muskoka cottage surrounded by their family!

We worked closely on the design of this wedding with wedding planner Ellie Eccleton, from Muse Events and the day could not have been more perfect.

As the rain fell, you could feel the love as the beautiful couple exchanged vows in an intimate tented ceremony at the Riverbend Inn. Beautiful Stephanie, walked up a floral lined aisle to the most stunning european inspired floral arch.

Our team designed and created some beautiful floral features in the reception tent that kept in sync with the vineyard setting at the Niagara venue. The creative floor plan included two seating area vignette, accented with over sized urns filled with lilac and other foliage branches.

The creative process focussed on an interior design kind of nuance mixed with modern garden vibes. Stylish details such as custom sofas and throw pillows were on pointe. The effortless yet sophisticated style was a vibe we still aren’t over.

Thank you Mitch and Steph for trusting us with your special day.

Stephen & Alessandras’ Italian Inspired Wedding At Copper Creek

December 12, 2023December 12, 2023 by Rachel

Sweet hearts since grade nine, Alessandra and Stephens’ wedding 10 years later, was an affair to remember. We were extra excited about this one, because Stephen is a brother to long time friend, the talented wedding planner Michelle, from Sincerely Yours Events. It was such an honour to collaborate with Michelle and the beautiful couple because we knew it had to be special. Both the bride and groom are Italian and had travelled to Lake Como. Inspired by its beauty and architecture, their design brought together subtle nuances of the region into the indoor space of Copper Creek. Michelle designed custom bar structures that elevated the space and created a unique touch. Another favourite design element was the unique and ‘not used so often’ combination colour palette of dusty blue sprinkled with hints of yellow. Combined with our towering oversized floral features and a custom marble dance floor, and customized ‘ode to Nonna napkins’, Copper Creek was transformed into a little piece of Italy. Congratulations Stephen and Alessandra! For a full list of vendors, see bottom of post.

Gianfranco And Melissas’ Stunning Wedding At Chateau Le Parc

June 26, 2023June 26, 2023 by Rachel

If you want some serious floral eye candy, Gianfranco and Melissas’ spectacular wedding at Chateau Le Parc will certainly not disappoint! Due to tight timelines for install, this was one of our most challenging floral instals and design to date, but let me tell you it was also one of the most rewarding!

The beautiful couple met at an Italian bakery in Woodbridge and the rest is history. Gianfranco planned the most special proposal. After a romantic walk, and while the couple picnicked under the trees at McMichael Art Gallery, Gianfranco popped the question. Working closely with Michelle from Sincerely Yours Events, the planning for an incredible wedding was in the works.

Melissas’ family were no strangers to hosting beautiful weddings. We had worked closely with this wonderful family for Melissas sisters’ memorable and unique tent wedding a year before. Creating something unique and ‘never-been-done before’ in Toronto were definitely the spear head goals for the the floral and decor. Our team created massive floral arches that spanned over the dance floor and they were perhaps, the most spectacular structures our firm has ever created. Melissa, Gianfranca and their closest family and friends spent the night magical night dancing under the dreamy arches sparkling with mini lights.

A heart felt thanks to the Martino family for trusting us with their families most special moments! Also to Sincerely Yours Events collaborating so closely on such a complex assignment. For a full list of vendors see bottom of post.
