Inspirations

We were thrilled to have our autumn wedding creative featured in Wedluxe Magazine and are so excited to share it with you. Together with our dear friend, wedding planner Laura from Laura & Co. Events and a wonderfully talented team of Toronto wedding vendors including the very talented Sam from Visual Cravings who photographed this lovely creative, we brought to life the beauty of a rich autumn wedding display.  Fresh fall blooms loaded with romantic hues of merlots and rouges were used for our spectacular ceremony chuppah and table scape. We use over 1000 stems of orchids for this spectacular display in a beautiful barn, found in Flesherton, Ontario. I loved the blend of rustic vintage accents mixed with elegant crystal and brass.

Inspired by the paintings of Degas, our creative team set out to capture a beautiful wedding with flowers and decor that reflect the beauty and softness of ballet. It was fitting to capture this style shoot at Canada’s National Ballet School. Featured recently in the pages of Wedluxe Magazine, we are so very excited to share these images with you. Our dream team consisted of some of Toronto’s top wedding vendors, including Toronto Wedding planner Laura at Laura & Co.  We are so honoured and thankful to be a part of such a gorgeous creative project and work alongside such talented vendors . Visual Cravings captured the beauty with ease and we are grateful for his amazing images. No detail was over looked in this project. From custom designed stationary pieces to the signature drinks, every element added to the beauty of this feature. For always stylish wedding decor and flowers visit us at www.rachelaclingen.comSoft coral draping created a spectacular entrance to the ceremony area and gave the feel of theatrical curtains often associated with theatre and dance. Flowers lined the aisle in our large white parasol vases and stands. Iconic decor elements included the oversized frame filled with coordinating flowers which created a creative focal point. Luxury custom stationary pieces designed by Toronto’s own Paper & Poste. A gorgeous gown by wedding designer Ines Di Santo was a beautiful addition to our shoot and reflected the beauty and grace of every ballerina. The spectacular table scape was accented with modern elements and included beautiful centrepieces filled with roses, dahlias and ranunculus. Spectacular and very yummy cakes by Christina of Truffle Toronto. Venue: National Ballet School of Canada
