Featured Couple: Sara and David
At times the Holiday Season could feel just as expensive as a wedding but weddings don’t have to always be over-the-top and expensive. Weddings on a budget are possible! This week’s feature couple, Sara and David, had a small budget but we worked with their budget and brought their vision of a clean and beautiful wedding to life at the incredible Roma’s Hospitality. Our tips for a budget-friendly wedding is to know what you want and where you can make compromises. And as Walt

Featured Couple: Diana and Ka-ming
As planners we live for those long crazy weddings that you put your blood, sweat and entire heart into. The weddings where your entire team shows up and works their butt off to make sure the day is everything the couple dreamed of. Yes, you may have what we like to call in the industry a "wedding hangover" the next day but its well worth it when you are able to help bring everything the couple had imagined to life. This week our featured couple is Diana and Ka-ming who had an

Featured Couple: Jennifer and Matthew
Every wedding has those special details that make it memorable although you always get those specific weddings that are memorable in more ways then one. This week we are featuring a couple who is not shy to the spotlight, having their 2011 wedding aired on Four Weddings Canada. This was an awesome experience and Envision was so lucky to have been a part of J and M's big day. At one point Kimberly was filmed trying to find the groom for cake cutting (he was no where far just t

Featured Couple: Joanne and Daniel
Sometimes other milestones will remind us of great clients and their epic weddings, which prompts us to feature them on our blog. Joanne and Daniel just welcomed their first baby, a beautiful girl named Gabrielle Aria just this past month and we LOVED following their journey to another stage of their lives. But before this little princess decided to grace the world with her presence, J+D had a huge celebration of their own at a gorgeous mint and gold wedding held at the Venet

Featured Couple: Theresa and JB
Look, we love a good love story. As everyone should. Theresa and JB had a great love story. We met them when were planning another one of their friends’ wedding, and we fell in love with them, their positivity and their inclusiveness. Theresa, a nurse, and JB, a Filipino martial artist (honestly, it just sounds cool saying it!), got married at the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto, which, in its mandate, openly affirms the LGBTQ+ community in the eyes of God, which we

Featured Couple: Joanna and Phil
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”– Marcel Proust This week’s blog features Joanna and Phil’s rustic and intimate wedding, where Envision had the opportunity to do the florals and décor at the beautiful Rectory Café Toronto Island. We were grateful and excited to be part of this wedding because our bride, Joanna and Kimberly go way back – to their high school days! Joanna, also, helped out at the E

Featured Couple: Jessica and Chris
This week we are featuring Jessica and Chris, who got married last summer at the Archeo in the beautiful Distillery District. From the start Jess and Chris were incredibly easy going, happy to hear any suggestions and just excited for their big day. Their big day was a long time coming as they had dated previously and reconnected years later which finally led to tying the knot. Their ceremony took place on the patio of the Archeo where Jess walked towards a copper arch decora

Featured Couple: Kathryn and Efren
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

Featured Couple: Jillian and Cory
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

Featured Couple: Cherish and Ryan
In this industry, it’s super important to surround yourself with like-minded individuals. People that get you, who you get, and who share the same interests and joys that you share. I felt that way when I met Cherish and Ryan for the first time. Referred to us by our friends at Fable Studios, I knew right away that we were going to work together famously on their wedding. Especially since, like them, Fable Studios and their crew were also people that we just vibed with easily

Featured Couple: Carly and Alex
One of our favourite things to do as wedding planners, especially Wedding planners in Toronto, is to honour different cultural traditions. After all, that’s what makes Toronto unique to the rest of Canada, even I dare say, the rest of the world. So today we’re throwing back to one of our first Japanese infused weddings, as featured on Style Me Pretty, EventSource.ca and the Berkeley Events Blog. With this much love, you know you've stumbled upon something beautiful! Carly and

Live Music At Your Wedding
“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

Team Work Makes The Dream Work!
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
