A Casual Affair

Posted September 2nd, 2010 | 2:00 pm | By Amber Richman | No Comments

When longtime customer, turned friend, emailed me late July to say that he and his girlfriend had decided to get married August 21st, it was a welcomed surprise! We had a little over three weeks to transform their beautiful beach cottage, just three homes up from the famous beach boardwalk, and their two neighbour’s yards, into a celebration haven.

Nature lovers at heart, they wanted a casual garden party to adorn their union. The only decor specification that I was given was that there was to be lots of birch poles, making the entrances of the tents feel like a forest. All other design elements I could do what I pleased — how much fun is that!! Read the rest of this entry »

Country never looked so good!

Posted August 11th, 2010 | 9:30 am | By Amber Richman | No Comments

Great long time friends of ours recently got married in the beautiful country setting of Price Edward County. They were married right beside the water under a quaint trellis, with the reception in a big beautiful red barn.

If was perfect that Melanie (a.k.a. the bride) chose mason jars as the vases, holding an elaborate, yet just like picked out of the garden mix. It even amazed me about how many stems I was able to fit into one mason jar! When you are creating this carefree look, it is imperative to use a large range of flowers. Then you naturally get a garden feel, without trying. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve got butterflies…

I was inspired by Jenn Sibranti’s (from Hostess with the Mostess) latest collaboration with Polka Dot Design on this cute butterfly stationery (pictured above). I love the colours and the design–so girly and modern. Found a few other details/ways to incorporate this fluttery bug into your wedding day via your bouquet, confection and favours. The cake especially (designed by LPK’s Culinary Groove in Toronto) is such a stunner.

Garden Party

Posted September 16th, 2009 | 6:00 am | By Mai Trac | 16 Comments

Bojan and I are not your typical married couple-to-be. We started dating in 2001 and five years later, introduced a lovely little boy, Ivan, into the world. Just recently, we added Nicolas to our growing family. Although we have done things unconventionally, the decision to finally get married makes perfect sense for us now, as our relationship is the strongest it has ever been.

Real Wedding: Orange and Green and Everything in Between!

Yay! I was so happy when Ryan and Erika (two awesome photographers) from Rowell Photography contacted me a few weeks back. The weddings they shoot, the details, oh the details, are simply spectacular. One wedding in particular really caught my eye. The couple, Charlotte and Steve, had a beautiful (orange and green themed) wedding at the Toronto Botanical Garden. It’s such a pretty space and I highly recommend it, especially if you’re looking for a fresh garden scene. And, the wedding could not have happened if it weren’t for the planning pros, who also created all the superb decor and floral arrangements, at eventdecorator.com. View more photos after the jump.
