By now, you have probably noticed my obsession for J. Crew (word on the street is that they’re coming to Canada). Exciting, non? But while we’re waiting for that to happen, I will have to live by perusing through their endless array of pretty dresses online. Right now, I’m in awe of their latest J.Crew Wedding collection. Their bridal gowns are light and airy, and their bridesmaid dresses are chic and colourful. Take a peak.
I’m baaaackk. Sorry, I’ve been out of the office for the last week and you’ll have to forgive me for my tardiness today, as I’m still adjusting to daylight’s savings time (I’m sure you can all agree). One thing I’ve learned about being away is that it can certainly take a toll on your desk. Luckily for me, I came back to stacks of beautiful invitations (for an upcoming shoot), five mops (not too sure what to do with those ones just yet), a new fragrance from La Senza anddd–topping my list–a beautiful (and I mean beautiful) bracelet from the ladies at She’s So Beautiful…Consignment and Bridal Boutique. Here’s a snapshot of their kind note: Read the rest of this entry »
I’m sad to say that all the beautiful work that Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes did for us is coming to an end. The six sketches that they created for us last week were amazing. And, today I’m going to end with another one of their gorgeous ideas. Inspired by origami both Tina and Diana set out to create something very reminiscent of Japanese culture.
I am in LOVE with these sketches. To me, they simply scream Hawaii. Both the dress and the cake are simple yet elegant and definitely have that destination vibe going on. What do you think? Would you wear this or have this type of confection for your wedding day?

Paris anyone? I’m really loving the romantic sweep of this gown. And the fleur-de-lys embellishment on the cake. Everything is soooo je ne sais quoi!

I was going to save this surprise for last, but I’ve never been good at containing my surprises, so I thought I might as well share my favourite sketch sooner rather than later. Today’s drawing epitomizes a glamorous Torontonian bride. Both Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes opted to go very Canadiana with this one by adding leaf embellishments to the dress and the cake. Love it!
Yesterday we unveiled gorgeous sketches of a Grecian-themed gown and cake (by Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes). With today’s drawings I want to see if you can guess which location was the inspiration behind this beautiful gown and pretty confection.
Don’t have your cake or dress picked out yet? Well, for those of you still on the hunt for those special elements, this week’s blog posts are going to blow your mind away. A few weeks back I contacted Tina Cho from Partina Atelier and Diana Shin from Papillon Cakes about working on a “special” collaboration exclusive to this blog. The idea was to work together and sketch out a matching cake and dress design–inspired by a specific destination. The result? Well, let’s just say I nearly knocked Jenn down with joy when the sketches arrived in my inbox. The talented pair had sent over 6 gorgeous and inspiring designs for you ladies to fawn over. Today I am revealing their “Greece” inspired wedding gown and confection. Aren’t the olive leaf embellishments beautiful? Let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas and if there’s a specific destination-inspired gown or cake that you’re looking for.
FYI: make sure to come back every day this week to see a newly revealed sketch from Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes.
