Prominent Yorkville stores open their doors to host private dinners followed by an after party…it is an amazing evening for an important cause. Thanks to everyone who was a part of [...]

This past weekend I had the pleasure of making the florals for a special Barbie event. 200 lucky little girls won the chance to spend the morning with Barbie at her “Princess Charm School” held at the beautiful Casa Loma (a castle of course!).

I was given only 2 instructions…fun [...]

Leesa’s Ride to Conquer Cancer 2011

Sometimes you take the road less travelled….last year when I experienced my husband and his friend crossing the finish line for their ride it sparked something in me. The energy was contagious, all of these people who didn’t know each other getting together for one important cause and challenging themselves for a 2 [...]

After weeks of prep Events in Bloom participated in the 2011 Wedding Co show at the Carlu this past weekend for our second consecutive year.

Here at the Events in Bloom studio things are really getting busy! We are working away on some amazing upcoming events. Our last few months have been great and after compiling some pictures of the latest work an obvious theme jumped out at me…purple! Whether its a deep amethyst snapdragon, a [...]

Beyond the cube vase…

leesa — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 14:22:32 +0000

When planning your wedding centerpieces why not try and shy away from the everyday? While still beautiful the cube vase is seen a lot and there is so much more out there. Start by asking your florist if its an option to provide your own containers and then let the fun begin! Why not [...]

A bounty of bling…the 2010 CGTA gift show.

leesa — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:38:48 +0000

Twice a year I put on my runners and spend about 6-7 hours wandering the International and Congress centres in search of new event decor. Usually I have a list of specialty items I need for upcoming weddings or corporate parties and I have been lucky to find most of what I have been [...]

New digs – finally some progress.

leesa — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 20:29:48 +0000

So I started this venture in the basement of my home and even though I loved the commute pretty much everything else about this sucked. But late last year I moved into a studio space in a creative based arts building. The space was pretty raw and a ton of work had to be [...]

Lost track of time…

2009 is here folks. The above expressions are just a glimpse into what has happened to me over the last year or so. For those of you who don’t know I struggled with figuring out what to [...]
