{Real Wedding} Carol & John: Summer, Coral & Peonies

Mirella — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 11:49:36 +0000

This is the lovely wedding of Carol & John. We had the pleasure of working with Lori Studios before here and how lucky we were to have 2 more under our belts. She is one talented lady, and if you are looking for a photographer, I highly recommend her! Check out her website here. This past Summer was filled with lots of colour, and this one did not disappoint. Vibrant pink peonies, peachy carnations, and yellow billy balls stole the show. Carol & John kept the personal flowers classic and simple, white peonies for the girls with mini calla lilies and mini calla boutonnieres for the boys. It is timeless and elegant and totally worked with the punchy coral dresses the girls wore ever so perfectly! A really pretty summer wedding, for a really special couple. Carol & John, I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy married life together! XOXO

Mirella — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 19:42:00 +0000

Happy Summer everyone! We need to start blogging again since the super busy summer has kept us away from our blog…And boy do we have lots to share!!! So we’ll begin with the lovely wedding of Kathy & Jake, who were married this past May at the Paramount Conference and Event Venue, in Woodbridge, Ontario. It was a bit of a rainy day, but that didn’t stop Kathy from shining! She looked radiant and her bridesmaids looked amazing as well in their springy lavender purple dresses. The bouquets consisted of light pink peonies for the bridesmaids and the bride bouquet had light pink peonies and white ruffly lisianthus with a black ribbon and vintage inspired brooch on the handle.

The venue was all dolled up with lush centrepieces done with ivory hydrangea, white gerbera daisies with black centres and white dendrobium orchids and curly willow for height…Love the pin lighting!

They took some fun pics at the ever popular indoor location, Fantasy Fair at the Woodbine Centre. The pics were taken by Lee Weston Photography, and there are more pics to see of this gorgeous wedding on her blog, so be sure to stop by and check them out! The fabulous Melissa Samborski from One Fine Day Event Planning and Design made sure the bride and groom enjoyed their special day!

Mirella — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 02:31:13 +0000

Farah & Kyrle were married at the Lounge at 99 Sudbury this past January. Farah is one of my bestest friends and it was truly an honour to be able to do the flowers for their wedding day. The Lounge is an amazing space in downtown Toronto with a modern vintage vibe. We had Manzanita branches, garden roses, kermit poms and tons of candlelight to really add to the ambiance. The wedding was absolutely amazing, filled with beautiful friends, great food and lots of laughter. DJ Chief ensured there was no one holding up the walls, and everyone had a fab time! Here are some stunning shots taken by Tied Photography, who of course didn’t disappoint! They did a fab job as always, so Thank you so much for the lovely photos!

Farah & Kyrle, I wish you both millions of moments like this wedding for life!! xxoo!

Farah’s bouquet consisted of anemones, garden roses… It was gorg!

Real Wedding::Richard & Rhea::Pink & Brown @ Le Jardin

Mirella — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 03:20:06 +0000

Richard & Rhea were so much fun to work with! They had so much spunk, personality and most importantly of all… They were madly in love and couldn’t wait to get married! Rhea lived in Ottawa at the time, and now they both reside there together. We helped them out as much as we could with wrapping and embellishing their favours, providing linens, seating table cards, menus and table numbers. It was a first for us, but we’re thrilled with how it all turned out and not only do we have these awesome experiences, we made friends for life! Richard & Rhea, you two are such beautiful people, a joy to work with and it was an absolute honour to be a part of your special day! XOXO

These gorgeous images were taken by Julian Moniz. Check out his Blog for more seriously beautiful pictures of this wedding! I felt like I was there! Oh, and you have to check out this short video, by their videographer, Bert Moniz. So much fun to watch! LOVE IT!

Creative Wedding Table Numbers

Mirella — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 22:47:34 +0000

Ok… I have to come clean here, and confess… I AM NOT A FAN OF PLAIN JANE TABLE NUMBERS!

You know the ones that the venues provide, usually done on plain paper and then they laminate them so they last forever unfortunately. Well, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way… There are so many creative options to make your tables look fantastic as well as serve their purpose. Here is a bit of inspiration to get you going. If you’re stuck and not sure what to do, email me your wedding theme, an inspiration picture of your centrepiece and your wedding colours and I will help you come up with something unique, modern and creative! I’m sure you will agree that any one of these options look better than the first.

This first picture is taken from one of my lovely couples engagement photo shoot. They took creative pictures holding a number that represented their table number all over the city… They did some on the subway, in the park, just different poses to capture the number and it was personalized and adorable! One of my favs! These pictures are from Mississauga Convention Centre in Mississauga Ontario.

Rosanna & Jag:: The Terrace::

Mirella — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 22:29:50 +0000

Rosanna and Jag were married this past summer @ The Terrace Banquet Hall. Rosanna knew that she wanted to have an amazing mix of colours for her wedding, so we chose a palette of purple, ivory, green, yellow and pink to pop off their plum purple dresses. I love it when brides have colour in their bouquets and this bouquet completely fit that bill. It consisted of pink gloriosa lilies, orange calla lilies, yellow freesia, pink cymbidium orchids, and purple lisianthus. Absolutely scrumptious! Rosanna was so easy to work with and open to all of my ideas… We did submerged pink and green orchids for the head table, as well as curly willow and green dendrobium orchid centerpieces for the guest tables. The colours were so much fun, and working with Rosanna was awesome! All of the pictures are courtesy of Reno from Studio Arash.

Karen & Richard :: Mississauga Grand::

Mirella — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:01:33 +0000

When I met with Karen during our consultation, I immediately knew I wanted to work with her… She is so charismatic and has an amazing sense of humour! Her vision for the wedding was rich deep reds, black accents and a touch of gold… It was an amazing colour palette to work with, especially in November when everything could use a punch of rich colours. We used black magic, black baccara and red spray roses, red mini gerbera daisies with dark centres, and even some rich burgundy carnations to fill the centrepieces and add some texture. I went on the hunt for the perfect ribbon with sparkle factor to accent the square glass vases for the centrepieces, because the original one we were going to use was discontinued… A happy accident because the second choice really was an absolute perfect option. Here are some pictures that capture their day courtesy of Joseph Micheal Photography. Please make sure to check out his blog to see more images of this wedding. Karen & Richard, if you ever want to get married again (just for fun) I’d be there in a heartbeat!!! This time we can do purple! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness. XX

Romantic Purples in the Brule room @ The Old Mill

Mirella — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 17:21:24 +0000

Erica and Rob were married in the romantic Brule room @ The Old Mill this past November. Their colour scheme consisted of purples and ivory, and soft golds which really worked well in the space. They were also chosen for the hit television spin off series to Rich Bride, Poor Bride on Slice Network called Rich Groom, Poor Groom. The episode is due to air sometime in June, so I’ll leave the details of the wedding for the show, but wanted to share some pictures captured by the absolutely talented Lisa of LG Weddings. Please check out her blog for more of this beautiful wedding, and I’ll make sure to post when the show will air so you can see all the details of how this gorgeous wedding came together! Thanks so much Erica and Rob for choosing me to work with you on your special day, and I wish you both all the very best together!
