Connor and Maddies Beautiful Wedding At Muskoka Bay Club

September 14, 2022September 14, 2022 by Rachel

I’m so excited to finally share Connor and Madisons’ stunning tent wedding at Muskoka Bay Club. If your a hockey fan, you might recognize Connor Brown a former Maple Leaf who currently plays for the Washington Capitols. During the summer break of 2021, the hockey star married beautiful Madison on the gorgeous golf course at Muskoka Bay Club. It wasn’t the hockey world though, that brought these two together. Madison and Connor met in grade eight in the school gym. They stayed friends. until they started dating in Madisons first year in university. Madison shares their engagement story. “I always used to tell him I think 25 is going to be the best year of my life, so he knew he wanted to get engaged after I turned 25. Because the season was so busy, it didn’t happen until January 2019. We went to Bahamas with all of our closest hockey friends and the first day we got there he had asked to go for dinner just the two of us. Since we were there with all of our friends I said I’d rather have dinner with them. When I went to the girls and asked our dinner plan they all said they were going to do their own thing so I was so confused. We got to the restaurant just Connor and I and our table wasn’t ready so we walked down the beach to a pier at the end and he proposed and when we walked back all of our friends were waiting for a beach sunset dinner for us!” The rest is history and on that special day last summer the two said ‘I do’. I loved our design meetings with these two. And if I may add, Connor may be a pro hockey player, but he also has an inkling for design. I love how invested he was in every detail! Their dreamy wedding was everything a girl, (and Connor) could want.. elegant, sophisticated, delicate and pretty. I remember installing the floral canopy with our team, and loved the transformation of the reception tent. We worked closely with wedding planner Ashley Pigott on this one so it was definitely one for the books! For a full list of vendors see bottom of post.

Bo And Holly Horvat’s Beautiful Wedding At Roseville Estate

January 13, 2020January 11, 2020 by Rachel

Oh how I love a pretty wedding ceremony and so I’m excited to share with you Nhl hockey player, Vancouver Canucks, Bo Horvat and his gorgeous bride Holly’s stunning day at Roseville Estate. Our team designed the most lovely floral arbour for the couple to say I do under. Ok, can we just talk about this beautiful colour palette? If you know me, you know I love working with colour. Hollys vision included soft dusty rose, mauve and blush florals combined with loose trailing greens and we could not have been more happy about it. A touch of black through out the design added visual interest and we think the look was so fabulous. Special thanks to Tara McMullen for such beautiful captures and wedding planner Laura from Laura & Co for working so closely with us. Full list of credits at bottom of post.

Ryan And Sydney Strome Tie The Knot At Evergreen Brickworks

December 22, 2019December 21, 2019 by Rachel

Hockey fans take a peek at what New York Ranger, Ryan Strome and his beautiful sweetheart Sydney were up to this summer. Hockey is a family affair for the Strome family with three brothers playing professional hockey, but on a hot day summer day, it was time to celebrate Ryan and Sydney’s love story. The lovely couple tied the knot at Evergreen Brickworks in Toronto. As fate would have it, and not realizing they lived just down the street from one another, it took social media and some encouraging friends to bring the couple together. “We’ve been inseparable ever since.”, says the stunning Sydney. The garden styled wedding, was all pretty, featuring a showstopper flower canopy about as dreamy as mid summer nights dream! The raw and industrial canvas of Evergreen brickworks was perfect for the couples’ rustic chic look detailed with the prettiest dusty blues. Such a pleasure working with wedding planner Ashley Pigott on this beautiful day and I’m so excited to share it with you. Incredible imagery by Tara Mcmullen Photo. Scroll for full list of vendors.
