Tanya is a makeup artist, so she naturally had a good idea of what she wanted when she picked the palette. Her keen eye knew when something was not right, even when she saw the fabric of the backdr

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

February is always a busy time for me, personally. There’s Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year, both my in-law’s birthdays and this. This, being the anniversary of my business. This business that was a fleeting thought while in college and turned into a lifetime career. This business that was once a pretty fun hobby and the only thing that stuck throughout the years of random part-time jobs. Those part-time jobs included: serving coffee, managing an arts program for those label

Living Coral is the perfect colour to splash as an accent on your special day or as the focus (second only to you of course!)

Shop Around It is a good idea to have a handful of wedding planners that you are comparing prices and services with, however the number of wedding planners on the market can be truly overwhelming. Be sure to do your homework, research some reviews and compare three to five wedding planners. Make sure that the planners are accredited whether they are a graduate from a prestigious Event Management Program, certified through the Wedding Planning Institute of Canada or similar tr

We love referrals! Natasha and Manoj were referred to us by one of our lovely couples back in May, a friend of a friend of a friend (of a friend..?). They had asked us to do some beautiful Indian garlands for their nuptials that following August, and who are we to say no? The photos turned out stunning! Thanks a bunch to Big Al Studios for the great shots. #weddingphotography #hinduwedding #jaimalas #weddingfloral #floraldesign #torontofloraldesign #torontoflorist
