Rachel and Michael's Wedding

Rachel and Michael’s wedding was absolutely stunning! From the beautiful city views at Palais Royale to the gorgeous lakefront, this wedding really extenuated what Toronto has to offer. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour by being serenaded on the large balcony with some elegant classical music while indulging in delicious hors d’oeuvres. After gazing at the breathtaking views of Toronto’s lakefront, guests entered the reception hall and were greeted with romantic lighting and eye-catching floral arrangements all throughout the space. As guests enjoyed their time, Rachel and Michael snuck out for a little while to take some absolutely gorgeous sunset photos, taken by the talented Assaf Friedman, on the boardwalk by the water. Every aspect of this wedding, ranging from photography to décor and more, really complimented the loving relationship Rachel and Michael share that everyone witnessed that day.

Fall Is Just Around The Corner!

With summer sadly coming to an end, we get to cheer up again with the thoughts of a beautiful fall wedding complete with all the radiant colours and whimsical sights and smells that encompass this magical season. To really capture it's beauty, here are some ideas and tips on how to mesh the wonderful traditions of a wedding with the sensational season of fall.

Photos
With fall weddings it’s important to capture the beauty of nature, so having your photographer take pictures of the bouquets and leaves will make for beautiful pictures.

Fall is a cozy season, so why not embrace the moment and cuddle up next to your love with a blanket? Take a look at this adorable shot!

Décor

Hues of deep purples and burgundy are beautiful, but make them pop with light colours to compliment them. A beautiful white pumpkin with gorgeous florals arranged on top will grab your guests’ attention as an elegant centrepiece. 

Dress style

Even if it’s not cold outside just yet, a long sleeve dress always captures attention. It looks elegant and reflects the feeling of fall all at once.

Favours

In keeping with the warm and cozy feeling of fall, giving your guests party favours that reflect the season, such as family recipes or comfort items are always a hit. Check out these cute jars filled with apple cinnamon jam and apple cider mix!

La Belle Amour Featured on Wedluxe

Every year, we have the privilege to coordinate a style shoot stemming from a concept we decide upon. This year, we were so excited to find out that the theme for the fall/winter issue was "literary love". We took this theme and came up with La Belle Amour which was inspired by the classic Beauty & The Beast. We were so lucky to have so many talented vendor friends come on board to make this concept come to life. It was truly amazing and we hope you love it as much as we do!

Nicky & Arik's Cherry Blossom Wonderland

Nicky & Arik were a match made in heaven. They were born on opposite ends of the world and got together in a very cute way. Arik was moving to Toronto from Australia for work purposes, so his friends decided to put together an account for him on a popular dating website. Nicky was on that website and happen to see this good looking, intelligent Australian guy and messaged him. Needless to say, sparks flew and these two love birds have been inseparable ever since. There cherry blossom wedding was a spectacular sight. Although we love all cherry blossoms, it was so nice to see a different take on it. Most of the time, we see blush pink and white but these blossoms truly did pop within the all white venue space. Check out the photos to see what we mean! You won't regret it!
