Lake Como Inspired Tent Wedding At Aga Khan Museum

March 11, 2022March 10, 2022 by Rachel

I’m so excited to share Cassandra and Marc’s stunning wedding at Aga Khan, inspired by the gorgeous Italian country side and Lake Como regions. Despite pandemic restrictions, delays and postponements and an original plan to marry in Italy, our beautiful couple couldn’t have had a more perfect day. No stranger to high style and Italian influence, Cassandra, a fashion and life style blogger, wanted these beautiful nuances to set the tone for their special celebration and we were so happy and excited to to bring her vision to life! Despite this incredible event being planned and executed in record time, like literally within a few weeks, working with wedding planner Michelle from Sincerely Yours Events, made this collaboration with our team an incredible experience. Now can we just talk about the flowers and decor, because, I mean.. like woah! Our creative team designed and built a magnificent, life size tree with fresh branches foraged from our farm. Other stunning floral features included, a blossom tree lined entrance way to the reception tent. Lots of praying that day for no rain, because we couldn’t wait to slide the tent top panels off for a truly alfresco dining experience for the reception. The stars aligned and the magic happened! Marc and Cassandra and the lucky guests, dined and danced the night away under the stars! For a full list of vendors please see bottom of post.

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!
