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.
