Wedding Belle: A Lovely Lady

Posted November 26th, 2010 | 10:59 am | By Leeann Yee | No Comments

Bride: Tara Wilson
Wedding Date: May 8, 2010
Wedding Location: Toronto, Ontario
Wedding Style: Donning a beautiful a-line gown with delicate lace-capped sleeves, Tara was grinning from ear to ear. Her strawberry-blonde hair was curled and gathered into an intricate ponytail, as her bangs were swept to the side, tenderly framing her face. Keeping her makeup soft, simple and natural, Tara’s pink lips gave way to her beautiful pearly whites. From her ears, dangled pretty pearl drop earrings. Her bouquet was a stunning array of pink calla lilies and pale pink-purple roses, and her best girls carried white roses while wearing strapless, dark purple dresses. As for the bride’s shoes, they were a gorgeous blue, with a single bow at the front.

As it Comes to an End…

Posted June 25th, 2010 | 9:00 am | By Jessyca Mullan | 8 Comments

I couldn’t even really believe that this is my last blog post! I was about to write as if I had another one coming. But I guess not only am I writing like normal, I am also saying good-bye. I have really enjoyed this time with everyone. The other brides-to be, you’ve all been wonderful, and the time just flew by!

As I write this, I am watching Say Yes to The Dress and I can’t help but think about my fittings coming up in July. I will be heading down to Kleinfeld’s for a three-day, three-fittings, round of appointments. After more than a year-and-a-half of waiting for it to arrive, now I can’t believe it’s sitting there waiting for me and when I go for the appointment the wedding will be less than a month away! I’m really looking forward to our wedding day, and I hope to hear about all the other bloggers days as well! I feel like I know you all now and I feel very lucky to have had this opportunity with you all. Read the rest of this entry »

Tying up the Loose Ends so We can Tie the Knot!

Posted June 11th, 2010 | 9:00 am | By Jessyca Mullan | 7 Comments

The bow on the front of our menu booklets

I guess when you’re just a little over two months away from your wedding, that’s when everything really starts coming together. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had more appointments than I can count.

To give an update on my hair, I went for another trial and it was much better than the first. Completely different style and this hairdresser really knew how to handle my thick hair. It didn’t budge at all. I made sure to jump up and down to be sure! I’m really excited that that aspect was taken care of.

My room has now turned into a printing press! I’m printing maps, menus and ceremony programs, and the piles of paper are starting to overtake me. I keep saying I’m glad the guest list is on the smaller side, because it would have multiplied the cost and the amount of work. For our menus I decided to tie Tiffany-style bows around every single one. I’m glad to say I completed the task much faster than I thought, and it really cut down on what it would have cost if I hired someone to make them.

I was hoping I would have a photo of our centrepiece by now, but the stock has not arrived as of yet. We decided on renting centrepieces using silk flowers rather than real ones from a florist. This especially kept some costs lower, considering florists don’t offer rentals! Not that I know of anyway. If everything goes as planned it will be a very tall trumpet style vase, with a large pomander or roses and Gerber daisies. Read the rest of this entry »

Wedding Belle: A Timeless Affair

Posted April 9th, 2010 | 8:00 am | By Stephanie Gray | 3 Comments

Photography Dean Sanderson.

Bride: Kristie Marsden
Wedding Date: August 18, 2009
Wedding Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
Wedding Style: Kristie’s love for the 1940′s motivated her matrimonial style, especially the swept-up hairstyle with pinwheel swirls that “created a fabulous vintage look.” Her dress, a diamond white, strapless mermaid gown had delicate buttons and was “classic, timeless, and allowed [her] to feel sexy and youthful.” Kristie’s custom-made jewellery and birdcage veil added individual charm to the overall ensemble, while punches of vivid lime green and a subtle smoky eye gave her a sultry twist. She also wanted to channel some celebrity style, particularly Katherine Heigl’s red-carpet glam: “If it’s good enough for the Oscars, it’s good enough for our wedding!” Read the rest of this entry »
