Victoria And Josiahs Whistle Bear Wedding

I am just so excited to share, with you, our son and new daughter-in-laws beautiful wedding at Whistle Bear Golf Club.  Their special day reflected the personalities of each of these two love birds. The rustic yet elegant flowers and decor was the perfect blend for Victoria and Josiah. The pair pledged their love under a magical floral canopy at Whistle Bear, with close friends and family their to share the moment. Unique and personal elements at the wedding included a custom barn board floor with a special bible verse inscribed.  Josiah and Victoria were certainly the recipients of the generosity of many of our industry friends who contributed heavily to making their day so memorable. Continue to read about their love story.. and the amazing friends who helped make it possible.  This is the second time I am able to blog about one of our sons tying the knot and sweet emotions fill me as I reflect on such a special day. You know, David and I have prayed for our boys and their ‘future’ wives since they were little, so it is humbling to be a recipient of God blessing our family with another beautiful daughter. David and I marvel at just how each of our daughter in laws are suited for our sons. Victoria is a special girl and perfect for Josiah in every way. She is beautiful young lady with character. We have witnessed on more then one occasion, her love for God and others, in action, but Victoria is no push over. She lives tenaciously to do what is right, despite what others think and David and I think this is pretty cool! Josiah and Victoria’s wedding was a beautiful blend of the rustic and the refined. No frills for this girl. Victoria wanted her wedding to be showcased with simple elegance.

Victoria shared with me once, that when she was little, she wanted to marry a cowboy! Victoria had always loved animals and the country, so it was no surprise that Josiah seemed to fit her list of requirements for a life partner. Although from different churches, they met through various youth activities at a young age. It became apparent to David and I that something was up, when Josiah started spending more time doing his hair than I do. Hours at the gym and empty containers of protein powder all over the house, were another sure sign that our son had his eye on some one special.  We also noticed a rapid decline in Josiah’s barn chores and his interest in riding horses.  Hanging out with his buddies also seemed less of an appeal to our son, so we knew someone had captivated his heart!

Fuchsia Blossom Wedding At The Granite Club

Charmaine and Andrews spectacular fuchsia blossom wedding at the Granite club in Toronto was magical in every way. We designed the flowers and decor with the brides love for bright colours in mind, both for the ceremony and St. Basil’s Catholic Parish as well as the reception at the Granite Club in Toronto. Inspired by the Venetian Gardens in which the beautiful couple were engaged, their wedding was a full display of colourful flowers and and blossoms. Our team took the inspiration to life in the Granite Club, when we designed and created an incredible larger then life twenty foot fuchsia cherry blossom tree with cascaded over the head table. Guests dined at both round and gallery tables which were all detailed with crystal and candle light. The gallery tables were eye popping gorgeous with rows of crystal candelabras and lines of low florals. In addition the round tables were dressed with alternating high centrepieces of fuchsia blossoms and flowers. It was a wonderful day and we are thrilled to see this wedding featured in the latest issue of Wedluxe Magazine. As always it was a team effort with some of Toronto’s top wedding vendors including our dear friend and wedding planner, Laura from Laura and Co. Events as well at the talented photography team at 5ive 15ifteen. Congratulations Andrew and Charmaine. It was such a pleasure working with you!

Pretty Cherry Blossom Wedding At London Hunt Club

Meghan and Tim’s beautiful wedding at the London Hunt Club in London Ontario welcomed summer with plenty of love and a room full of pretty blossoms. The gorgeous and historical, St. Peter’s Cathedral Basilica was fragrant with fresh garden roses and cherry blossoms in soft hues of ivory and blush.  Meghan walked up an aisle lined with cherry blossoms which added floral elegance to the London church. Later guests would be received and dine at the iconic London Hunt Club. The flowers and decor captivated guests but it was Meghan and Tim who stole the show. The beautiful couple dined under a suspended cherry blossom canopy created by our team and were surrounded by their bridal party. Our elegant crystal candelabras and candle sticks added romantic candle light to the room.  It was a wonderful day working with London wedding planner Lauren from Twelfth Night Events and Richelle Hunter Photography.
