A Beautiful Indian Wedding At The Royal York Hotel

by

Pavan and Paul’s gorgeous wedding at The Fairmont Royal York Hotel was a spectacular blend of modern and traditional elements.  The very stunning Pavan first laid eyes on our flowers and decor at the Canada’s Bridal Show in Toronto. Excitement grew as we worked together to design a wedding to remember full of culture, love and beauty. We were thrilled to work with the very lovely wedding planner Riccha from Arora Events on this assignment and had loads of fun working together. This luxurious Indian wedding which was featured in the gorgeous pages of Lavish Dulhan Magazine, called for at least three gown changes including Pavan’s stunning, colourful sari. No detail was overlooked and included our custom paper flower canopy complete with our rental crystal chandeliers which hung over our lucite/acrylic head table. A combination of gallery and round tables added to the decor concept and included both high and low centrepieces with coordinating flowers. Where would we be with our the very talented Xero Digital who shared these incredible images with us! So thankful for industry friends!

Bespoke fashion and decor,  French couture along with inspired extravagance, this was the vision of our fabulous couple Mike and Carmelina for their wedding at the super cool Fermenting Cellar in Toronto.   “We made it a priority to hire the best in the industry for what we wanted” said this stylish couple. Yes we were thrilled to be among those chosen to create this spectacular event along with the talents of Elsa Corsi, Valencienne,  Palettera and Cake Opera Co. to name a few. The decor was luxe’ and detailed. Rich and glam elements included our gold antique candelabras and an exhaustive line up of our gold mercury glassware pieces. Both were loaded with lavish bouquets of flowers and no details was overlooked. Carmelina’s love for vintage pieces was heavily incorporated into the design. A custom velvet backdrop was detailed with antique frames and even a vintage birdcage. What a pleasure to work with such a wonderful couple! And so thrilled to share these stunning images by Dave and Charlotte

Stunning custom gown by Valencienne. “My gown was a precious creation of worldly bespoke fabric collection from France and Dubai. My gown was inspired by my love for couture fashion from the Parisian runways and my passion for the fashion behind Marie Antoinette. Mademoiselle Je ne sais Quoi” beautiful custom jewellery by Elsa CorsiCustom Stationary – Palettera The Fermenting Cellar was lavished with beautiful floral arrangements. Carmelina tells all.. “Our designer, Rachel Clingen mixed several different elements to create an artistic yet luxurious elegant look, as if our guested were walking through the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. Classic blends of roses, peonies and hydrangeas graced the tops of the vintage mixture of gold and alternating black candelabra centrepieces. In addition to the tall pieces, low mounds of coordinating flowers in beautiful antique gold mercury vases lined the gallery style tables. Rachel also used eclectic combinations, gold mercury vases filled with flowers, black vintage bird cages and crystal candle sticks on our head table. The floral elements echoed the blissfulness of the French gardens and the secrets of  the palace.”Stunning custom cakes by Cake OperaVenue – The Fermenting Cellar Photographer – Dave and Charlotte Make-up – Fancy Face Stationary – Palettera Gown – Valencienne Jewellery- Elsa Corsi Vintage rentals – Happily Ever After Events Cakes – Cake Opera Co.

Out And About At The Gorgeous Wedluxe Show

by

What an amazing day at the Wedluxe Wedding show held at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The talents of many of Toronto’s leading luxury wedding vendors were on display for all to see! Wedding planners, photographers, floral and decor designers, gown designers and even travel firms were among the many who displayed their work for the discerning bride. The flower and decor designs, displays and concepts were over the top! I am convinced that Toronto has some incredibly talented artists who bring their best to the wedding industry. I also believe and have been told by others, who were visiting the show from afar, that Toronto has more to offer in the luxury wedding market then many other major cities! More importantly though, is the comradery and friendships that is so evident between many any of the vendors. I was pretty excited to receive so many gorgeous images of this spectacular event by some of Toronto’s leading wedding photographers. Warm thanks go to Isaac Image, Krista Fox Photography, Melanie Rebane Photograhy, and Visual Cravings for sharing your amazing coverage of the Wedluxe show with us!
