Arthur And Ledas’ Beautiful Modern Wedding At Hotel X

March 28, 2025March 28, 2025 by Rachel

Leda and Arthur’s wedding at Hotel X Toronto was a breathtaking celebration of modern romance and timeless elegance. Beneath a canopy of spiraling lush green and white hydrangeas, the couple exchanged vows in a dreamy ceremony that felt both intimate and grand. The magic continued in Newfort Hall, where the glass-roofed venue provided a stunning backdrop for a reception filled with custom-designed details. Oversized arrangements of hydrangeas, roses and fluffy stock, cascaded throughout the space. Our team designed floral waterfall installations that transformed the evening into a modern and stylish botanical garden. Every detail reflected the couple’s sophisticated vision, making their wedding a true masterpiece of contemporary design and sophistication.

It was a pleasure to work with wedding planners Petals and Pearls on this one. For a full list of vendors see bottom of post.

Juri And Taylors Modern White Winter Wedding At Hotel X

March 6, 2023February 16, 2023 by Rachel

It may have been crisp and cold outside, but Juri and Taylors’ beautiful winter wedding at Hotel X warmed the hearts of their closest family and friends. The beautiful couple first met through mutual friends while at university. A couple of years later, on a summer night and at Taylors family cottage, Juri picked the perfect place to propose. On a dock lined with candles, and with family peeking through the trees, Juri asked Taylor to marry him. After the couple acquired wedding planner Ashley Pigott, the wedding planning began and we were so excited to talk design. Due to Covid, a few postponements and a venue change or two, the lovely couple finally said ‘I Do’ at Hotel X and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Although it was chilly outside, the love birds candle accented ceremony was romantic and cozy and included a floral lined aisle. Guests were then transported into the most beautiful modern garden in the glass room. Our design included towering blossom trees which canopied over the guest tables. Groupings of deconstructed white flowers graced every table. I loved the black accents and the formal ‘black tie’ touch to the space. Taylor shared her experience on working with us, “After taking one look Rachel A. Clingens’ work we instantly knew we wanted to work with her on our wedding and they absolutely lived up to their reputation. They truly brought the wedding of our dreams to life.” Thank you Taylor and Jury for trusting us with your special day! For a full list of vendors, see bottom of post.
