My New Favourite: Destination Dress

Posted May 17th, 2011 | 5:05 pm | By Nicole Keen | No Comments

Photography courtesy Mon Cheri Bridals.

Blame it on Toronto’s grey skies, but I’m currently dreaming about lush tropical beaches. Speaking of which, wouldn’t this wedding dress (by Destinations by Mon Cheri) be pretty for a Caribbean ceremony? Can’t you just feel the wind in your hair? The hand-painted skirt with illusion overlay is really different—daring, yet subtle, and perfectly suited to sunny skies, turquoise seas and exotic blooms.

Maritime Charm

Posted August 20th, 2010 | 8:30 am | By Roseanne Dela Rosa | No Comments

{Photography by Alex MacAulay Photographers}

TGIF! To end the week on a high note, I thought I’d finally share these BEAUTIFUL images with you. Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been in touch with Jen from Layers Wedding Cakes–a talented cake designer from Nova Scotia. We had been e-mailing back and forth about how we could showcase some of Canada’s maritime talent. The solution? Jen and an amazing group of vendors all got together to produce an inspiring reception piece. The result? The images speak for themselves, but I’d definitely say they more than capture the essence of what a seaside/east coast Canadian chic wedding should aspire to be like. Enjoy!!
