A Wedding At Windermere House Muskoka

by

Well it may have rained at Windermere House on Darren and Krista’s September Muskoka wedding but the love prevailed and guests enjoyed a lovely intimate ceremony in the dining room instead of what was to be on the front lawn. A quick change of plans for our decor team but all in all it ended up a gorgeous ceremony. Krista and Darren did not want the typical rustic Muskoka feel but rather a blend of rustic and refined elements. The reception was a gorgeous and a luxe blend of these two elements. Our custom made lucite centrepieces constructed with birch logs created a Muskoka feel while still retaining an elegant vibe. The backdrop was constructed with our custom french tufted panels and our handmade paper flowers. As the rain continued to fall guests enjoyed an evening of gourmet food, dancing and of course loads of laughter. Loved the images from the talented Rowell Photography and we are thrilled to share them with you! For always stylish weddings in the Muskoka or Toronto regions visit us at www.rachelaclingen.com

Muskoka Inspired Wedding On Wilson Lake

by

On a lovely fall day on the shores of Wilson Lake, Scott and Leah professed their love for each other in front of friends and family. The Muskoka inspired wedding was loaded with rustic details including birch accents in the flowers and decor and was recently featured in the pages of Elegant Wedding Magazine.  Scott and Leah are long time friends of ours so we were super excited to be able to be a part of their special day! The centrepieces, which were tall stands made from birch logs were custom designed for this wedding and were a show stopper in the wedding tent. Even the backdrop was made from birch logs. Leah’s mother, Ruthanne is an interior design goddess so her special touches were evident throughout the wedding. You just know how much fun she and Rachel had with all the plans for the wedding! Thank you Samantha Erin for sharing your lovely images with us!

Coco Chanel Inspired Wedding Shoot At 99 Sudbury

by

Ooh la la.. its a gorgeous luxury wedding creative inspired by Coco Chanel and co-produced by Toronto wedding designer Rachel A. Clingen and wedding planner Laura Antendido of Laura Kelly Wedding Design. Created exclusively at the trendy Toronto venue, 99 Sudbury, by some of Toronto’s leading wedding vendors for the pages of Elegant Wedding Magazine, this shoot was all about gorgeous flowers, luxe decor and all things pretty. The haute couture gown by Ines DiSantos was captivating! A pretty floral palette of soft pinks and champagnes was mixed with the chic feel of black decor elements such as black modern vases and aisle stands.  Inspired by the chic, couture and sophisticated style of Coco Chanel’s signature style of a black, white and blush colours, this creative style shoot married french inspired details with ultra luxe, high style fashion and beauty. We were inspired by the softness and femininity of pinks and blushes blended with the modern and chic feel of black accents. French inspired designer cakes by Truffle Toronto had us all swooning and drooling! The very talented Sam Wong from Visual Cravings captured every detail with his passion for photography.   What ever your style.. For always stylish flowers and decor visit www.rachelaclingen.com
