Designer Bridal Shower At Graydon Hall

March 7, 2022March 7, 2022 by Rachel

Spring is almost here ladies, and there is nothing like a gorgeous out door bridal shower at Graydon Hall to get you inspired. Oh this is a pretty one, but then again, lets consider, the beautiful bride-to-be herself, is no stranger to high style and all things beautiful. Cassandra, along with her two sisters, Nadia and Aly, have curated their own fashion and life style blog called ‘3 Girls and Our Closet’, so the ‘designer’ theme is just so fitting. Ok, lets talk colour, because if you follow along, you know, I love working with colour and I’m obsessed with this pretty palette. I mean who doesn’t love pink for a bridal shower? But what makes this so stylish is the dust-ness of the pink and the accents of black. I think we nailed the look with soft dusty roses and chic black accents like modern black urns. So sophisticated and feminine don’t you think? Finishing details included coordinated place settings and the most beautiful day of stationery pieces including custom menus, and of course designer give away bags. Always thankful to work and collaborate with our friends at Sincerely Yours Events because amazing event planning is key!

Brittany And Jeff’s Al Fresco Wedding At Kurtz Orchard

December 10, 2021December 10, 2021 by Rachel

Who hasn’t dreamt of enjoying an al fresco dinner, drawn out long enough to catch the sunset and short enough to leave lots of time for dancing? I certainly have, just ask David! Brittany and Jeff’s gorgeous vineyard wedding bursting with the most refreshing colour palette was held at Kurtz Orchard in Niagara and it certainly gave all the right feels for the the perfect summer reception under the pretty blue summer sky. But before guests enjoyed an incredible meal around a long harvest table, they watched as Brittany and Jeff said I’do in front of rows of Niagara grapes almost ready to be harvested. It was pure magic.

Our beautiful couple celebrated in style after a long distance relationship. as Brittany was studying in Edinburgh Scotland, and Jeff was starting his career in finance downtown Toronto. Post graduation Brittany moved home and the rest is really history.

We were thrilled to play a small part in Brittany and Jeff’s special day but when Brittany shared the reason she chose us to make things pretty, I couldn’t help but blush a little. Brittany explains, “I’d followed along Rachel’s account for a while (I adore flowers!), because I loved her aesthetic and use of big juicy flowers – she made my feed more colourful! I always knew I wanted to make a statement with decor / flowers for our wedding, and forever had Rachel Clingen in mind to help make that happen…pre engagement. She is an artist, and with our incredible planner Ashley, from Ashley Pigott Events, I knew they would make my vision come to life.”

Thank you Brittany and Jeff for allowing us pretty things up for your incredible wedding day!

Mallory and Johns Magical White Wedding At Casa Loma

December 3, 2021December 2, 2021 by Rachel

Mallory and John hosted a fairytale white wedding at Toronto’s iconic castle, Casa Loma. Its taken me far to long to share this magnificent wedding and I am so excited to add this gem to our blog! Our stylish couple wanted an all white wedding detailed with the most elegant decor and flowers. Of course, we were so thrilled to bring the design to life because who doesn’t love a white wedding? The lovely couple exchanged vows in front of the most beautiful white blossom archway, in the castles conservatory. Later guests would dine and dance in the library under incredible white blossom trees. It was important to Mallory to have candles… lots of candles, and so the guest tables were lined with an abundance of crystal candle sticks. The most luxurious of floral centrepieces graced the round tables. These over sized arrangements made from hundreds of white roses, and white trailing orchids sat on top of beautiful crystal vases. It was so lovely to work with Mallory and John. Their warm and friendly spirits made working together a delightful experience. Knowing exactly what they wanted for their dream wedding, they never wavered in their vision throughout the design process and made our job easy. Thank you Mallory and John for trusting us with your special day!
