We always love weddings at Royal Ambassador Event Centre in Caledon and have designed many different concepts for weddings there, but when Lindsey came to us with her ideas for a Mexican inspired wedding, we couldn’t wait to get to work! Lindsey’s fiancé was from Mexico and this beautiful couple wanted to capture the colour and beauty of this region, while still maintaining elegant feel. Palm leaves and other colourful elements gave the ceremony a tropical feel. The centrepieces were bright and cheery and most were designed in blue and white pottery vessels, common to the Mexican region. Guests couldn’t help but notice all the cute and whimsy accents such as a chalk board menu and colourful directions sign.  A mariachi band serenaded the guests as they entered the beautifully decorated reception tent. Vintage bottles with fresh cuts of flowers adorned the head table and added to the eclectic feel. A special shout out to the hugely talented Jennifer Ballard for gorgeous photos. Loved her attention to detail! Absolutely loved working with this inspiring couple, and we wish them the very best. For always stylish wedding decor and flowers visit us at www.rachelaclingen.com

Weddings at Taboo Resort in Muskoka always excite our design team. Dan and Ali’s wedding was no exception. Their gorgeous wedding was featured in Elegant Weddings Magazine last spring and we thought we’d share it with you too. Dan and Ali are opposites. While Ali loves all things soft, vintage and pretty, Dan, an architect prefers a more modern feel. Our design challenge was to combine the two elements all inspired by the beauty of the Muskoka region. The aisle was accented with vintage lanterns and aisle hooks that held mason jars filled with fresh flowers.  These were combined with large fresh floral arrangements in clear sleek glassware for a more modern look. Birch logs filled the vases and were the perfect Muskoka compliment. Guests danced the night away under the softly lit purple and green lanterns. The orchids in the centrepieces were designed on an angle for a trendy look. The uber talented Rowell Photography captured the beauty of this special day.
