What happens when you take a historical cottage, a historical church, ancient Persian traditions, a modern style of catering, some beer, some cigars, and a beautiful bride and groom? Magic. That’s what happens. Niloo approached me back in 2016 to ask me to plan their epic outdoor Muskoka wedding that was to be built at Mike’s property, one that has been in his family for generations (literally!). In fact, Bala Manor (as it was aptly named) used to be a resort for families, un

Have you ever bore witness to a love that defies all odds and circumstances? That’s how I felt when I met Kathryn and Efren for the first time. She was a free spirit. He had a grounded attitude. And both of them had so much heart, I was practically bursting just by being near them. In fact - they had each other’s real heartbeats tattooed to their bodies! Kathryn and Efren approached me to help them bring together all the remaining pieces of their Toronto Island wedding — at f

Can budget friendly weddings look beautiful and elegant? Our answer is YES, case and point – Natalie and Corey’s wedding. This week’s blog focuses on a budget friendly wedding we had the privilege of providing décor and florals for. Our groom, Corey, was extremely budget conscious so we had to find a way to achieve their vision at a reasonable price. Their wedding was also on a double wedding weekend, so it was an "all hands-on deck" for our team. Corey and Natalie’s wedding

Bride, friend and preferred vendor. This week we are featuring Jillian and Cory a very special couple to Envision as we now have an amazing work relationship with the bride. To start from the beginning Kimberly met J and C back in 2015 where she shared her vision of a mint black and gold themed wedding that went beautifully with their venue at the paradise banquet hall. Jillian was a graphic designer with a back ground in fashion design so everything was super stylish and chi

Our featured couple this week are Marjorie and Omar, their wedding was a perfect example how you can have a beautiful classic wedding without breaking the bank. Every piece of their wedding fit together perfectly creating one elegant puzzle. Starting from their marble invitations all the way to individual gems on each place setting. This wedding was near and dear to our hearts as they were referred by another one of Envisions favourite couples Mary and Robert who you can read

Long time no talk, folks! Figured that it’s a good a time as any to spotlight one of our favourite couples from years past. Robert was referred to me by a groom from one of my other weddings. These bros are so close that they even have semi-matching Instagram names! There’s so much you can tell from little things like that —- I knew in an instant that these people would be super cool to work with. R+M decided to keep things simple and get married at the beautiful, understated

“If music be the food of love, play on!” - William Shakespeare Music is a huge part of any wedding and very literally sets the tone for the entire day. Selecting the right song for each part is an important part of the planning and design process. Our Pinterest board this week is full of song ideas for every part of your day from the start of the ceremony to the last song of the night, so I won’t be talking about song selection here. Just as important as which song you select

I’ve seen a lot of bridal parties in my day grace the aisles of churches, gardens, parks, areas in front of gazebos, cobblestone paths, and patio balconies. Lots of anticipation, nervousness, sometimes sheer panic, tears, and excitement. This week we talk about what should not be missed before that memorable walk. After all, it is this walk that the whole wedding (really) is framed around. Photo by: AGI Studio First things first - if you are getting married in a church, make

From the moment I signed my first wedding, I already knew that I couldn’t be a one-woman show. I’m a realist, so to me, it was just the law of physics. There was no pride issue involved, no thought that I couldn’t possibly ask someone else to execute the “vision” that I had. It was simply because I knew, even back then, that I couldn’t be in two places at once. It just simply wasn’t possible. Since then, I have hired, fired, coached, mentored, disagreed with (sometimes actual
