Tis' the Season!!

Calling all Brides and Bridesmaids!! January & February are the perfect time to snatch up that designer gown at amazing savings!! 

Here are a few of the boutique's we like to visit..

November Bridal Shower

Bridal Showers are a time to celebrate the bride, her individual taste and the fact that she will no longer be on the market.  European showers are known for their 100+ giddy ladies, munching on almond cookies and competing for the next prize.  Well the shower we planned last weekend is no exception. 

Ivonne's bridal shower consisted of 110+ ladies and their children, laughing, drinking and chatting about how "creative" and "organized" our bride was.  It was a busy and fun afternoon!

Tables where named after each centrepiece - far more interesting than table numbers. And each table was decorated in either Pink or a fantastic Key Lime Green!

A Mariachi Band serenaded the guest tables while everyone enjoyed a 4 course lunch.  The meal ended with a Gelato Cup, topped with a shot of Bailey's.  At one point all the ladies jumped up and danced around the brides table with the Mariachis - a great way to get moving after a large meal.

Daisy's are the brides favorite!  Centrepieces where awarded to the guest that sat at the chair with a flower attached.

This cake was all the rage from the moment it was delivered! Compliments of Fabulous Cakes and Confections

A Gelato Themed Bridal Shower complete with Gelato cups as a Party Favor!

Natacha & Michele,

A November Day of Bliss!!

St. Paul's Basilica is perhaps one of Toronto's oldest Catholic Churches.  Fr. Maurice was amazing, so easy to talk with and delivered a brilliant service.  Perhaps one of the city's best kept secrets, St.Paul's is the perfect location for a Catholic Service.

Carnations are an underestimated flower and making a comeback!!  When packed tightly carnations display a fabulous petal of colour and perfect composition.  All flowers can be reused & recycled post ceremony at the head table to minimize the environmental footprint, also a great way to stretch YOUR wedding budget!

These centrepieces added both height and mimicked the perfect Fall Look! Fresh sweetheart roses trimmed the chocolate brown trees, based with moss and red roses added the perfect punch.  The guests where all chatting about how different and unique these centrepieces looked. 

Tall Trees lit with candles, Giant Red Carnation Balls, and candles lit up the head table. The focal point being the tables themselves rather than a giant backdrop behind the couple.

La Dolce Vita! Only at the Eglinton Grand

I first met this couple almost 2 years ago! They are lovely. They are truthfully a pleasure to work with, an honour to have gotten to know, and madly in love! They where first considering another venue, wanting "something different"- but not sure what the difference would be. After consulting with them both and an extensive interview process I realized the Eglinton Grand would be PERFECT! After one site check the couple knew this venue was for them. The following images are compliments of our friends at 5-15 Photo Co. Thanks Mike!

I loved creating these bouquets for this bride,

she was gorgeous and really allowed us to be so creative!

Simple elegance with a touch of drama in the trees. The vases where also lined with orchids

Bradley and the Bouncers play regularly at the Reservoir Lounge located in Downtown Toronto. They where a huge hit. Thanks for the amazing music Brad!
These fabulous escort cards (along with all our wedding stationary) where created by Holly at Tear Drop Invitations. She's amazing and incredibly talented. Brides, if you'd like something different, something exceptional and something to start the theme rolling contact Holly at Tear Drop. All her creations are custom and created only after a thorough understanding of your theme and where you'd like to go with your wedding event. She's incredibly professional. I always say "Your invites & wedding stationary are your event advertising!" They set the tone for the evening and prepare your guests to not only witness the wedding but be a part of the excitement!

The most common way that Escort Cards are displayed is as a tented card on a table outside the main ballroom. They are normally alphabetized for ease of use and then a separate card would assign the guests seat at the designated table close to the place setting.

Menu's where also created by Holly at Tear Drop Invitations.

To continue the theme tables where named after great movies of the 40's, a fabulous alternative to numbers or tacky fashion logos.

Congratulations Julia and Mike! May you have many years of happiness.

It was an honour to be part of your day!

Details and More Details!

One of our favorite weddings this year was an enchanted beach themed wedding. A few of this couples guests where unable to attend the Ceremony in St.Croix, so our clients allowed us to plan a fabulous reception event for Canadian friends & family here in Toronto. Bringing the beauty of the Islands to a stunning water venue ATLANTIS PAVILLION located on the Toronto downtown shore line.

Weddings are the perfect occasion to showcase your creativity and reveal intimate details about both you and your partner. Your guests will feel both wowed and appreciated at the level of intimacy created through monograms, personalized menus and the shear experience of walking into a room with a theme!

Check out a few of these images provided to us from our friends at 5ive15ifteen Co.

Music and live entertainment also add to any event theme. When considering a theme think of what you experience when inside the desired effect - for instance at the beach - what are the sites, sounds, smells, tastes, colours - nothing can be understated. The result is a fabulous event with loads of details!
This was a lot of fun to create. Self serve seating card sandboxes lined the great windows of the venue. Orchids, shells and starfish also added an extra beach theme touch.

This next detail was a lot of hard work for almost 400 guests however worth every paper cut! We created individualized menu's to coinside with the guests' menu selection. This served as functional for the waitstaff with personalized meal monograms and also added a fabulous touch of detail and theme. As guests where seated to read the menu and noticed the menu was personalized their faces lit up at the extra little detail. We overheard guests mention "They thought of everything!".

One of our favorite vendors here in the city is Christine Hassler from CMW Cakes. Her cakes are truly custom, she's just fabulous to work with!! Can you imagine that every grain of sand on this cake was a delicious sugar based morcel of delight! Even the shells (I HAD to munch on one!!) where so delicious. The level of detail and absolute love of what she does shines through in every one of her creations.

The matching beach chairs where the talk of the guests! Gone are the days of a traditional bride and groom dancing atop a cake, the shinny monogram or the absolute corny cake topper of bride grabbing her husbands collar - totally passe! Pick a theme and stick to it....details, details, details!!

Guests finished the evening with a succulent sweet and savory station as we toasted the bride and groom & where wowed to a waterfall of colours and fireworks!

Cake Opera Company! YES, its ALL CAKE!

I met the most fabulous Talent at the Carlu Show this past month.  Her name is Alexandria and her company name is Cake Opera and what a fantastic Opera it is!  Alexandria studied the arts in Italy and discovered her passion as a pastry chef and artist while abroad.  

A True Talent, all cakes are exclusively custom made for any one of her clients, then hand painted to perfection.  Alexandria's works of art can demand nearly 40 hours!

Her cakes are absolute works of art and I hear even more beautiful once you cut into them! And YES its ALL CAKE! Every Delicious morsel! Cake Opera Co. will also design party favors, mini cakes, and all sorts of yummy treats...

The sign said "Please do not Touch" but I HAD to - I ever so gently touched a piece, I swear it looked like silk, a Cake made for a Princess Bride!!

Thanks Alex for showing us all that wedding cakes can be so much more than 3 tier's of fondant!!
