Planning a wedding around pandemic restrictions meant that Ethan and Brittany had to make some shift in plans. But that didn’t stop these love birds from finding a way to host the most magical and dreamy wedding. Their once larger scale venue planned wedding, would instead end up being the most intimate and beautiful event hosted in the brides parents backyard. Working closely with Toronto wedding planner Michelle from Fab Fete, our team transformed a clear top tent into a dreamy garden for both the ceremony and reception. The sweet couple who grew up just five minutes apart said their I do’s under a gorgeous floating floral chuppah for their jewish ceremony. During the cocktail hour around the pool, we transformed the tent once again to the most stunning reception space and created modern garden vibes. Accented with table top floral bridges and the most beautiful collection of crystal and candles the guest tables brought sophistication and elegance to this backyard affair. We asked Brittany why they chose us to create the magic for their special day. “We chose Rachel A. Clingen, because we felt that no one can do what their team can.” Brittany added.. “I also liked that every event they create is unique and never a copy!” Thankyou Brittany! Mazel Tov to our beautiful couple!
Amidst a global pandemic, Ross and Suham decided to celebrate their love with their family in an intimate backyard wedding. Can we just all agree how pretty and special, small weddings are? Let me just tell you that this one was extra special for us to design because the groom is none other than my big brother. A short engagement called for a quick action plan and the planning began. Planning a wedding during the co-vid19 social regulations allowed us to get creative in how guests could participate safely and from afar. Many friends watched on line and a ‘drive through’ receiving line allowed the couple to safely engage with friends while receiving congratulations and best wishes. Of course talking flowers and decor was a high lite! Inspired by our mothers blue and white ‘Shelly’ bone china, we designed a pretty palette including, hues of blue, white and a pop of hydrangea green. With only family in attendance, we were able to include pieces of our mothers china in the place settings. Both Ross and I are suckers for sentiments so this was a win win! My talented sister Rosalyn made all the sweets and cakes, which made dessert extra special! On top of that, my handsome hubby, officiated the nuptials so this was just all around about family coming together, to pull together and to celebrate the goodness of God. You see, our family suffered tragic loss when Ross’s first wife, my very special sister-in-law passed away unexpectedly. We miss her dearly, but are thankful for new beginnings, new friendships, and new love. Many of our vendor friends jumped in to help make this day extra special and we are so thankful. Congratulations to these love birds and welcome to the family Suham!
