Now OPEN!

Well this month has certainly been a whirlwind to say the least!

On March 1st I officially opened the doors to my new downtown Burlington location located at 398 Martha St.

While the past two weeks have been spent welcoming family and friends and of course other fellow vendors to my new lovely space, I would like to cordially invite you to come by and have a peek as well!

On top of opening my new office, I am also looking at holding workshops and seminars for couples looking to learn more on hiring vendors, and making a “wow” statement for their day, such as  “Cake and Champagne” night with Beth McArthur Appleton of Whimsical Wedding Cakes (you may have caught Beth and her amazing cakes on the TV show ‘Cake Walk’ on the SLICE network).

These will be held on a monthly basis for couples looking for valuable information to help them along the planning process, with different topics and vendors for each one. You can find more information on the 'Wedding to Wow' Workshop series here.

In the meantime, here are some fantastic photos of my Open House, and featuring amazing work by Beth who created a "key to success" cake for me, and some pretty tasty treats as well!

Groom Style!

While Pinterest seems to be the guilty pleasure of most couples-to-be these days, being a wedding planner and designer I have to confess it's one of mine too!

While I do believe you can also develop "inspiration overload", lately I have been noticing some pretty cool trends in the Groom-to-be department!
Check out these stylish looks from boutonnieres, patterned ties, coloured suits and shirts to dapper tails! Steer away from the everyday black tux (*yawn*). and shake it up men!

Love on the High Seas-Featured in Hamilton Halton Weddings Magazine!

I am really excited about our latest photo shoot to hit the press! Hamilton Halton Weddings Magazine wanted us to put together a "Nautical inspired" photo shoot for their upcoming 2013 issue.
My goal for this shoot was to bring elegance and sophistication to this theme, all joking aside sometimes the word "Nautical" can trigger images of Barnacle Bill or Tugboat Timmy-niether of which I wanted to portray!
For this shoot I really wanted to play up the gold and blue. My first choice was the sequin runner which reminded me of water. The tableware was a simple white china with a navy rim, accented with blue 'bubble glass' goblets.
Some of my favourite details in this shoot include the roping with toggle clasps over the plates and menus, the chains with sea shells on the backs on the chiavari chairs and the alternate sequin capped chairs.
The same chains were used throughout the yellow orchids in the centre of the table and also in the hanging floral chandelier pieces all made by Foxy Florals. The stationery made by Hip Ink was amazing and added a dazzling touch to the whole feel and look we were going for. I loved the small bottles with gold sparkles that held the seating cards inside!
The shoot was captured so perfectly by the ever so talented Corina V. Photography.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with such an amazing team!
