Chic Modern Black And White Wedding At One King West

by

Veronica and Craigs modern black and white wedding at One King West in Toronto took modern chic to a whole new level. Jessy loved working with beautiful Veronica and collaborated closely her to design her downtown dream wedding. Our team created the glamorous look with rows of white tulips and stunning white cherry blossoms both at the Metropolitan Church ceremony and the reception. Sleekness and sophistication was everywhere the eye could see. Both the ceremony and reception showcased modern containers of cherry blossoms and white tulips.  Clear lucite boxes with rows of white candles and white plexi boxes filled with white tulips lined the gallery guest tables. Featured in the pages of Wedluxe magazine, Craig and Veronica’s wedding is certainly one for the books.

Bougainvillea Wedding At The Great Hall

by

The white room at the Great Hall in Toronto was the perfect neutral backdrop for our bougainvillea wedding creative. Vibrant  blends of fuchsia, pink and coral florals, combined with lush bougainvillea came to life in the all white historical space. Our life size bougainvillea trees certainly created an impressive display for the ceremony, but it was the foliage and bougainvillea floral arch that really set the stage for such a beautiful display. If you have been following along on our blog, you know by now, just how much I love to mix modern and classic elements in many of our designs. So heres how we did it for the wedding creative. The wedding flowers and decor were displayed in modern white plexi boxes  lined up on half the gallery tables while the other half were accented with beautiful over sized crystal vases. Classic floral blends included garden roses, the most perfect ranunculus paired with trailing foliage. Stunning images like this don’t just happen and so we always so thankful to work along side so many Toronto wedding vendors. For a full line up of vendors scroll to the bottom of post. Thank you to Wedluxe for featuring creative effort.

Victoria And Josiahs Whistle Bear Wedding

by

I am just so excited to share, with you, our son and new daughter-in-laws beautiful wedding at Whistle Bear Golf Club.  Their special day reflected the personalities of each of these two love birds. The rustic yet elegant flowers and decor was the perfect blend for Victoria and Josiah. The pair pledged their love under a magical floral canopy at Whistle Bear, with close friends and family their to share the moment. Unique and personal elements at the wedding included a custom barn board floor with a special bible verse inscribed.  Josiah and Victoria were certainly the recipients of the generosity of many of our industry friends who contributed heavily to making their day so memorable. Continue to read about their love story.. and the amazing friends who helped make it possible.  This is the second time I am able to blog about one of our sons tying the knot and sweet emotions fill me as I reflect on such a special day. You know, David and I have prayed for our boys and their ‘future’ wives since they were little, so it is humbling to be a recipient of God blessing our family with another beautiful daughter. David and I marvel at just how each of our daughter in laws are suited for our sons. Victoria is a special girl and perfect for Josiah in every way. She is beautiful young lady with character. We have witnessed on more then one occasion, her love for God and others, in action, but Victoria is no push over. She lives tenaciously to do what is right, despite what others think and David and I think this is pretty cool! Josiah and Victoria’s wedding was a beautiful blend of the rustic and the refined. No frills for this girl. Victoria wanted her wedding to be showcased with simple elegance.

Victoria shared with me once, that when she was little, she wanted to marry a cowboy! Victoria had always loved animals and the country, so it was no surprise that Josiah seemed to fit her list of requirements for a life partner. Although from different churches, they met through various youth activities at a young age. It became apparent to David and I that something was up, when Josiah started spending more time doing his hair than I do. Hours at the gym and empty containers of protein powder all over the house, were another sure sign that our son had his eye on some one special.  We also noticed a rapid decline in Josiah’s barn chores and his interest in riding horses.  Hanging out with his buddies also seemed less of an appeal to our son, so we knew someone had captivated his heart!
