A Stunning All White Wedding At The Ritz Carlton Toronto

by

Marisa and Rob’s stunning wedding at the Ritz Carlton Toronto, was truly a feast for the eyes with all white floral and decor that still has us swooning. There was certainly no shortage of flowers, with white phalaenopsis orchids, roses and wisteria every where the eye could see. Marisa loved the luxurious look of an all white wedding so we transformed the ballroom at the Ritz Carlton Toronto, with layers of whites.  The white chairs and linens as well as the flowers were  accented with accents of grey and silver for visual interest. Guests were greeted off the elevator at the Ritz with our impressive wisteria and rose tunnel which wisked them into the cocktail area. David and I were touched by Marisa and Rob’s kindness. They  graciously extended to us, an invitation to the wedding, so we were able to enjoy first hand the evening of festivities and the fruit of our labour.   It was a beautiful day all around, so we were thrilled to see this wedding featured in Wedluxe magazine and it was such a pleasure to work with the lovely wedding planner Shealyn Angus and the amazing photographer Alex from Life Images.

Muskoka Tent Magnolia Wedding The Rustic Meets The Refined

by

It was all about rustic elegance and pretty magnolias for Lisa and Chris’s beautiful Muskoka tent wedding.  The couple chose the family cottage to host friends and family to an intimate and beautiful tented wedding. We worked closely with the couple to design the wedding of their dreams. The ceremony took place on top of the stately boathouse which over looked the beautiful Muskoka lake in Huntsville, Ontario. The decor was elegant but not stuffy. Lisa and Chris wanted guests to feel at home. We designed a beautiful magnolia and branch canopy feature that was suspended over the dance floor. The mix of branches and florals Guests dined at gallery tables which were detailed with alternating rows of centrepieces. Tall modern gold stands with candles lined the tables along with low rows of pink and cream flowers. After the reception, guests would enjoy a fabulous desert station in the boat house.  Our modern gold square chandeliers added soft lighting and a modern touch.  This beautiful Muskoka Tent Wedding created beautiful memories for Lisa and Chris and we are so thankful to have participated!  Special thanks to Cravings Fine foods for working so closely with us on this assignment as well as Jennifer Van Son Photography for sharing these beautiful images with us!

Magical Art Gallery Of Ontario Wedding

by

Rouzhin and Naram celebrated their high style wedding day with two beautiful ceremonies and an amazing reception at the Art Gallery of Ontario. The first ‘i do’s’ were exchanged at St Paul’s Basilica followed by a Persian ceremony at the Art Gallery Of Ontario.  In an ode to Marie Antoinette’s ‘Enchanted Garden’, we staged some incredible floral and decor that captivated guests. We designed custom floral tree centrepieces and and a spectacular  20-ft wide suspended floral canopy over the dance floor creating a magical space.  In addition, suspended floral chandeliers made with wisteria, roses and foliage added soft and romantic lighting over the elongated gallery tables. There was just no shortage of flowers and every corner of room had unique and carefully planned decor elements. Our designs meetings with Naram and Rouzhin were so much fun. Rouzhins passion for pretty things energized our creative process.  This fabulous wedding was planned to perfection by the amazing Laura & Co. Events and captured perfectly by 5ive 15ifteen so we were all thrilled to see it unveiled in the pages of Wedluxe magazine.
