On a very hot and humid August day we were honoured to co-produce this beautiful wedding creative for Wedluxe Magazine with our sweet friends and wedding planners at Laura & Co. Events. The floral experience at the Toronto Botanical Gardens was inspiration overload with their beautiful walls of hanging ivy and foliage and gardens of boxwood hedges. Yes this would be the perfect venue for our Walls Of Babylon inspired shoot. Captivated by the beauty and lushness of this historical architecture, we would embrace the beauty of the Botanical Gardens to set the stage for a spectacular coral and navy tablescape loaded with luxurious flowers and gold vessels. As fate would have it, our timing was perfect! The venue was on a rampage of trimming all the hedges and overhead hanging greens for which we were able to re-cycle on our gorgeous stone and floral gazebo, loaded with flowers. Among other industry greats, we were able to work alongside our friend Sam, from Visual Cravings who captured every detail with incredible sharpness and beauty!

Inspirations
Memories of Mexico Wedding Creative
The Royal Conservatory Of Music in Tororonto is known for its floor to ceiling windows and of course the beautiful natural light that wedding vendors love, especially when it comes to capturing flowers and decor. This time our amazing creative team were inspired by the colourful pallete of Mexico and the festivities of Cinco De Mayo to create this beautiful creative shoot exclusively for the pages of Canada’s Elegant Wedding Magazine. Once again Toronto wedding vendor greats, among others, like Laura & Co., Fine Cakes By Zehra, Paper and Poste as well as 5ive15ifteen Photo Company joined us to create this spectacular display of luxury ideas to inspire the modern stylish bride who loves colour. We created a gorgeous floral wall and backdrop loaded with fresh roses. Our custom white panels were customized with floral pattern decals that were also used in the stationary and even in the aisle runner. Adorable Mexican food ideas were created by 10tation Event Catering and tasted as good as they looked!
