That's a wrap!

Our 2012 wedding season has come to an end, and we are very pleased with how this year rolled out.

We executed a total of 9 weddings, with 3 being Full Wedding Planning services - so for this part-time business, we're giving ourselves a little pat on the back for a job well done.

All of the weddings we executed were memorable in their own way, and there were aspects and details from each that were very note-worthy. To share just a few, we'll start with Natalie, our June Bride who had a sign displayed for her guests that detailed the meanings behind her flower choices. We thought that this was very unique and gave purpose to her flowers rather then them just being simply decor.

Another neat thing I saw this year was the use of Scrabble letters to form the table names for Porsha & Will's big day. Or the fact that Mary-Anne, our August Bride had not just one cake, but three! She got on the trend wagon and had a cake trio for the day she married her hubby Anthony.

This year was our busiest to date, and we couldn't have been as successful without the help of my fabulous Assistants. Big hugs and thank you to Brittany, Melissa and Teresa. You guys rock!

Also thanks to some of the fabulous vendors we had the chance to meet and work with for the first time, and to those that we've worked with before and some more than once just this year. You guys help in making my job so enjoyable - thank you!

Stay tuned for blog posts in the next few weeks and months that will show Porsha's, Mary-Anne's, Margarita's and Brooke's wedding day in a recap with details and photos.

Now, we're in planning mode for next year by meeting with Brides. If you're getting hitched, or know someone that is, feel free to give us a call. Even in the off season, we're still eager to keep talking about and executing weddings!!

A Foodie Kind of Wedding

My clients Porsha and Will are foodies and they'll be bringing their love for food to their family and friends on their wedding day. On July 14th, we'll be working with these two Toronto cuties when they say "I do, now let's eat!" in Cambridge.

How are they incorporating their love for food into their wedding you ask? Well, let's start with about 5 courses of delectable eats followed by a dessert offering of homemade pie made from Grandma's original recipe, and then capped off with a late night treat of Ice-Pop Art. Plus, all that tasty goodness was preceded by a fabulous spread of palette pleasing nibblies during their Cocktail Hour.

To top it all off, they have even named their guest tables after their favourite foods! Porsha's love for food can be documented in her Twitter feed and blog: The Foodie & The Every Man.

We're so excited to assist Porsha and Will with Day of Coordination on their big day and bring their plans to life! From food, to photos, to ice treats to flowers, we can't wait to share your special day with you!
