Cleopatra Inspired Luxury Shoot

by

Bold colours of the Mediterranean, combined with Egyptian motifs bring epic drama to this awe inspiring wedding shoot featuring our own version of Cleopatra! Stunning flowers and luxury decor, including a gold chariot are a feast for the eyes. This collaborative effort with our friends and wedding planners Laura Kelly Wedding Design, along with other talented Toronto wedding industry experts was one of our favourite creative projects. No detail was over looked including a beautiful and very well behaved camel named ‘Dora’. Not going to lie.. she was definitely a bit of a distraction but we were all amazed at her beauty and grace. Visual Cravings captured this shoot with incredible vibrance and detail and we were thrilled to have the shoot featured in Wedluxe Magazine.

Wedluxe Luxury Wedding Shoot

by

On lovely, but very hot and windy day in September, on the Toronto shoreline our creative team put together a gorgeous luxury wedding style shoot inspired by the movie The Talented Mr Ripley. This creative project was for Canadas’ Luxury Wedding Magazine, Wedluxe and was featured on their gorgeous blog. Swoon over all the details inspired by the Italian Riviera as well as the luxury and opulent lifestyles of young socialites of that era. Indulgent living is evident with decadent foods, luxury cigars and a gorgeous yacht.  Decor elements included, centrepieces of rich and bold coloured orchids, roses, dalias and pin cushion flowers. Our stone urns, bannisters and topiary trees all reflect the beauty of the region. The hugely talented Anthony from 5ive 15ifteen Photography captured the beauty of this project.

Mexican Inspired Wedding At Royal Ambassador

by

We always love weddings at Royal Ambassador Event Centre in Caledon and have designed many different concepts for weddings there, but when Lindsey came to us with her ideas for a Mexican inspired wedding, we couldn’t wait to get to work! Lindsey’s fiancé was from Mexico and this beautiful couple wanted to capture the colour and beauty of this region, while still maintaining elegant feel. Palm leaves and other colourful elements gave the ceremony a tropical feel. The centrepieces were bright and cheery and most were designed in blue and white pottery vessels, common to the Mexican region. Guests couldn’t help but notice all the cute and whimsy accents such as a chalk board menu and colourful directions sign.  A mariachi band serenaded the guests as they entered the beautifully decorated reception tent. Vintage bottles with fresh cuts of flowers adorned the head table and added to the eclectic feel. A special shout out to the hugely talented Jennifer Ballard for gorgeous photos. Loved her attention to detail! Absolutely loved working with this inspiring couple, and we wish them the very best. For always stylish wedding decor and flowers visit us at www.rachelaclingen.com
