Contest: The Wedding Singer

Posted February 26th, 2010 | 8:30 am | By Roseanne Dela Rosa | 1 Comment

**CONTEST HAS CLOSED**

Thank you to all who entered, but the contest has now closed. Jenn Kenter is the lucky winner who will get to see the musical comedy this week!!

Who wants to see The Wedding Singer?! I’m sure you’re all pretty familiar with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore’s silver screen rendition. But, have you heard about the musical comedy? I just got wind that they are making their way to town (Toronto that is) this March, and will be playing at The Richmond Hill Centre on March 10th and 11th. We were lucky enough to score 2 pairs of tickets for the March 11th show to give away. If you’ve never seen the movie or heard about it, here’s the 411:

Laugh out loud as wannabe rock star Robbie Hart is everyone’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party until he gets jilted at the altar. So he vows to make every wedding as disastrous as his own. But then he meets Julia, a waitress who wins his heart – but she’s already engaged to a Wall Street shark! Can he win her heart before she says “I Do” or will it be too late?

It’s totally 80s from big hair to Billy Idol! If you love weddings and remember skinny ties, shoulder pads and leg warmers, you’ll fall in love with The Wedding Singer.

Could be a fun date night for you and your mister, or even a girls night with your MOH. Here’s how to enter:

Latest Obsession: Maihar Design

Posted February 18th, 2010 | 8:30 am | By Roseanne Dela Rosa | 1 Comment

Last week, Nicole and I took a field trip to Sash & Bustle–a recently-opened cute boutique shop brimming with gorgeous Canadian exclusive lines like Stephanie James Couture and Siri. While we were there, owner, Cynthia Martyn, introduced us to this really awesome designer called Maihar Design–an indie store dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind ring bearer pillows and flower wands. Check them out! You can customize each one to your colour theme. Aren’t they adorable?!

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!

Skin Solutions

Is your skin in shape for your wedding day? If not, now’s the time to start thinking about it. Waiting until a month prior to the big day isn’t enough time to fully alleviate all of your possible concerns, whether that’s acne, hair removal, uneven skin tone or even fine lines. To find out more about some of the treatments available, as well as some tips on getting great skin, I visited Dr. Romy Saibil and Dr. Francine Gerstein at True Medispa in Toronto.

Sweet Week

As I write you this blog, I kid you not, I am most likely surrounded by dozens and dozens of cakes. Yes, it’s our major week for cakes and flowers (I’m hoping to have some ‘behind-the-scenes’ images to share with you). But, in the meantime, I’ll let you feast your eyes on these amazing confections by Allyson Meredith and Bobbette & Belle. From mini-treats to luxurious cakes (I’ve included over 20 cake examples–couldn’t pick a fave), I’m sure you’ll find a sweet to your liking. Enjoy!
