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.

Jennifer & Liads’ Beautiful Wedding At Four Seasons Wedding

December 6, 2023December 1, 2023 by Rachel

Jennifer and Liads’ stunning wedding at the Four Seasons in Toronto, captured the essence of a modern flower garden. We loved working with Liad and Jennifer, and I can’t help but share their adorable love story. I love hearing about how our clients meet, and often find their stories heartwarming. This is a good one… After seeing Jennifer and her adorable puppy on Hinge, Liad sent an instagram asking about her sweet pup Juliet, but really, it was Jennifer that really caught his eye. Three years later he surprised her with a trip to New York where he proposed in Central Park. And so Juliet would become a very important part of their story and and of course their wedding day. Ok, lets talk design, because I really love the freshness of this one. We worked closely with wedding planner Melissa Baum to create a fresh summer look for the lovely couple. Hundreds of hydrangeas were the flower of focus and created a stylish feel every where the eye could see. The beautiful chuppah was a design high light for me. Rose and hydrangea garlands spiralled around a modern four post structure and captured every design goal we were hoping to achieve, which included a modern spin on a garden vibe.

Congratulations Liad and Jennifer. Thankyou for trusting us with your special day. It was a pleasure to create for you.

Erin And Erics’ Chic Wedding At Park Hyatt Toronto

November 20, 2023November 1, 2023 by Rachel

I’m excited to share Erin and Erics’ chic wedding at the Park Hyatt in Toronto, because who doesn’t love style and sophistication all wrapped up with moody black accents. But there’s more to love here then another beautiful wedding, because the logistical challenges of a 60 minute room flip after the ceremony and a central chuppah that had to stay put for the reception make this wedding unique. The creative floor plan designed by wedding planner Melissa Baum, required strategic design for the flowers and decor and lets just say, that is right up our ally! We had to work around some logistical challenges as far as where the existing suspension points were. We proposed the idea of a floral suspension with floating floral legs that could be easily removed after the ceremony, leaving behind a spectacular floral chandelier over the dance floor. Eric and Erin loved the idea of the dual purpose feature and the rest is history. We absolutely loved working with Eric and Erin. They loved and fully embraced the modern chic look at the Park Hyatt, so we all knew going in that black details were a must! Congratulations to our beautiful couple! Thank you for trusting us with your special day. For a full list of vendors see bottom of post.
