Thana & Stefanos’ Stunning Wedding At Four Seasons Hotel Toronto

April 11, 2023April 11, 2023 by Rachel

The Aria room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto was transformed into a modern indoor garden for Stefano and Thanas’ stunning wedding. The beautiful couple met while working in the same industry and after dating throughout the pandemic, on a warm summer afternoon, Stefano proposed to Thana on the family boat at Friday Harbour. The excitement and buzz of planning a wedding was soon stirring. Together with wedding planner, Diana Pires, our team designed and created the most lovely and stylish wedding for the beautiful couple. One of my favourite design features was the massive hanging floral chandelier hanging over the head table. Oh and can we talk about this colour palette, because it was one of my favourite blends of the season. It was all the right vibes with those stylish black accents, so chic and sophisticated! “From the moment we had our first meeting with Rachel, we knew their team would be such a pleasure to work with. They seriously exceeded our expectations!” recalled Thana.

Thank you Thana and Stefano for trusting us with your special day! For a full list of vendors see bottom of post.

Daria And Brendans’ Stunning Wedding At Four Seasons Toronto

November 8, 2022November 1, 2022 by Rachel

Daria and Brendans’ beautiful wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto was the most special day. After covid postponements, the stunning couple finally exchanged vows and celebrated in style. After a down-town church ceremony, the couple and guests were welcomed back to a stylish and sophisticated reception at the Four Seasons. Daria, a lifestyle, yoga and fitness blogger, happened to be in the same program at Queens University as Brendan, but ironically didn’t meet until they were both working in finance down town. A beautiful proposal followed on a romanic wine tour in Portugal and as they say the rest is history. I loved the design for this wedding. Our creative approach to a modern look included 8′ custom plexiglass trays filled with hundreds of white long stem roses. Extra long tall crystal candle sticks added another layer of detail and of course the romance of candle light at different heights created the most romantic atmosphere. I also loved the mono-chromatic colour palette with white plexi chairs and white rimmed charger plates. Planned perfectly by Melissa Baum, the day went off with out a hitch! Thank you to Tara McMullen Photography for amazing images. A full list of vendors is bottom of post.

Stephanie And Rushi’s Stunning Fusion Wedding At Four Seasons Toronto

June 29, 2022June 29, 2022 by Rachel

Stephanie and Rushi’s stunning fusion wedding at Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto embraced the beauty of two cultures coming together to celebrate love. The beautiful couple met at a health-tech conference at Harvard university and the rest is history. Stephanie explains how the pandemic inspired the colour palette.

“The wedding theme was a modern colorful regency feeling. We wanted to combine the feeling of a traditional British dinner party full of antiques with lots of fun colors, while also including elements of Rushi’s Indian background. Prior to the pandemic we had actually pictured a much more minimalist (white) wedding, but after a year in isolation we wanted lots of color…every shade of pink, lots of texture, and lots of candles without feeling heavy, so Ashley and Rachel incorporated so much beautiful glasswear to keep it feeling light, but used the most amazing velvet table cloths and china to bring in that regal feeling”.

Stephanie and Rushi, exchanged vows under a floral masterpiece for both a hindu and christian ceremony. The modern mandap was designed with trailing florals in the signature colour palette of mauves and dusty pinks. Doubling as a canopy for the christian ceremony, this floral feature created a stunning focal point. Stephanie’s fabulous lehenga literally took my breath away! The colour, the detail, and the texture, but Stephanie also wore a tradition white gown that was equally as dreamy. While guests enjoyed cocktail hour, our team transformed the ceremony space in the Aria room, to the most elegant reception. We brought the out doors inside for the couple, creating an indoor garden party for their reception. Guests dined at gallery and round tables underneath floral and foliage trees. Working closely wedding planner Ashley Pigott, no detail was overlooked for this beautiful day. Congratulations Stephanie and Rushi!

When discussing her favourite moments, Stephanie recalls, “All I have to say is that Rachel Clingen is a creative genius. Having decided early on in the planning process to have both a Christian and Hindu ceremony, back to back in the same room, we needed something that could be used for both ceremonies, which are quite different in terms of format and color. The beautiful design of the flowers (which continued down the aisle and throughout the whole space and the bouquets) seemed soft and delicate during the Christian ceremony, but was bright and colorful to feel entirely different once Rushi and I changed into our brighter pink clothing for the Hindu ceremony. The whole room felt completely transformed by her work, which was especially important because we ended up only having half the guests we anticipated due to COVID capacity restrictions.

We worked with Rachel because the way she designs with flowers and decor feels both organic and magical and so romantic. She incorporates so many textures, flowers, and colors in a way that feels like they were always meant to be together but also seems completely new. In fact, when we went through our Pinterest board with our wedding planner (Ashley) about half of our altar inspo pics were Rachel’s work, and so when the time came, we couldn’t imagine working with anyone else!

Thanks again for making our wedding the most beautiful sparkling romantic colourful evening of our dreams.”

Thank you so much Stephanie and Rushi for allowing us to play a part in your special day!
