Wedding Belle: Sweet & Stunning

Posted December 17th, 2010 | 9:00 am | By | No Comments

Bride: Sarah Crawford
Wedding Date: August 8, 2009
Wedding Location: Milton, Ontario
Wedding Style: Stepping out in a stunning white a-line sleeveless gown with a lovely v-neck, Sarah was positively glowing on her big day. Her brown hair was tied loosely behind her ear in an elegant chignon, with two beautiful blue flowers perched to the side. Keeping her makeup natural and simple, pretty pear earrings dangled upon her ear. On her feet rested a pair of pale yellow shoes, one of the brides’ favourite wedding details. To match, Sarah carried a darling bouquet of yellow and white roses, and dressed her best girls in a sunny shade to match. To top it all off, the grooms best men donned yellow ties, and the man of the hour himself proudly wore a boutonniere of a single yellow rose.

Wedding Belle: Delicate & Dramatic

Posted December 10th, 2010 | 9:00 am | By | No Comments

Bride: Liliya Kozachenko
Wedding Date: June 5, 2009
Wedding Location: Toronto, Ontario.
Wedding Style: Looking every bit the fashion-forward bride, Liliya donned a gorgeous white, quarter-sleeved gown with a beautiful ruffled collar and a similar ruffled train that began just above her knee, cascading like waves of the ocean behind her. Her veil was short, with delicate beaded netting held together by a white-feathered flower. On her feet, a pair of lovely white pointed sling backs, with a decorated buckle at the front. Simple eyeliner, luscious lashes, and rosy pink lips completed her bridal day look, and simple pearl studs rested on her ears. The finishing touch was Liliya’s soft, simple and utterly modern bouquet of yellow and white calla lies.

Wedding Date: October 31, 2009
