Preliminary Planning for the Happily Engaged!

So you’re engaged - ZOMG, congratulations! When you first put that ring on that finger (or when you first popped the question), there was really nothing else that mattered at that given point. On one side, you just want your partner to say “yes”. On the other side, you are just in a state of bliss (or shock… or both!). So now that you have come down from cloud 9 a little bit, made your announcements to friends and family, and enjoyed the first couple of days of engagement-hoo

Envision Spotlight Couple: Elynn and Michael

Living and working in the same city your whole life is bound to have many “small world” moments. Many that are brushed off as small coincidences, but this one took the cake for "Most Trippy" of 2017. When Elynn approached me at the end of 2016 to coordinate her wedding to Michael the following May, it was mainly because a colleague referred them to me. They took a look at my website and decided to reach out. We met at my then-studio at Yonge and Eglinton, hit it off, and then

Unique Bridal Showers Ideas & Games

One of the many perks of getting married is having your bridal party or friends plan your bridal shower. It is a day where the bride gets to relax, get pampered by friends, and have fun.

I have provided a few ideas and games that would work for both a bridal shower as well as a couple’s shower. So let’s start! 1.

Honouring Lost Loved Ones

It's no secret that on a wedding day, a couple and their families could feel a million emotions at any given time. Happiness, excitement, nervousness, relief, joy. But after a couple weddings last year, there is one emotion that I kept seeing over and over again that kept shattering my heart into a million different pieces: Sadness that a loved one was not able to join the celebration. I don't know what it was about this past season where we had lots of deceased parents being

To DIY or not to DIY?

That's truly the question! I recently had dinner with a couple whose wedding I planned over the summer, and over Somersby Apple Cider beer (um, where has this been all my life?) and homemade quesadillas, we chatted about her wedding planning experience. Undoubtedly, we ended up talking about the huge amount of DIY the bride did herself for the wedding day. And one thing was for sure. The days leading up to her wedding (and on the wedding day!) was far more enjoyed by several

Bullets Dodged

As a wedding planner, more often than not I see the behind-the-scenes aspects that many guests do not see and sometimes not even the bride and groom. Planners witness, experience and oversee many little details that is only a figment of the imagination to others – that is until the day after the wedding. What I like to call, “post mortem”. One of my couples recently texted me with a simple sentence: “Okay, now that it’s over, tell us EVERYTHING that happened that we didn’t kn

Beach Wedding Attire Tips

For the ladies: Pick materials that won’t cling to your body in the heat - linen, chiffon, organza and cotton blends Choose colours that are bright and vibrant to embrace the sights and sounds around you.

Semi-formal or casual could call for shorter dresses and even maxi dresses Flip flops or sandals are an option, as long as they’re on the dressier side For the men: Pick pants and sh

Finding Vendors with Integrity

As your wedding day only comes around once, it is important – nay, crucial - for you to find wedding vendors that have a high level of integrity. Without integrity, businesses don’t work! Meet with vendors that will reply to emails promptly, show up on time to meetings, make things clear and straightforward, and answer all your questions.
