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 visit [...]

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 looking [...]

Food for thought…and decor.

leesa — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:13:53 +0000

When it comes to florals for weddings these days boundaries are being pushed. Gone are the days of formulaic and safe pastel arrangements; basically the rules are there are no rules. So why not do something really unexpected and add an non-floral accent to your wedding design? Feathers, branches, rhinestones, wire are a [...]

The Wedding Co. bridal show

leesa — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 04:28:35 +0000

This past weekend Events in Bloom participated in its first wedding show which took place at The Carlu. After previewing a handful of other bridal shows in the GTA I was feeling discouraged and that perhaps I would have to refocus my marketing elsewhere. Not long after this I came across The Wedding Co. web-site [...]

Wishing you a warm & wonderful Holiday Season!!!

So the cookies are baked, the gifts are wrapped and the tree is sparking bright…I’ll be honest I kind of wish we had some snow! I do love this time of year regardless of the stress and commercialism that abounds. When you strip it down its just a time to be with loved [...]

A modern twist at the Old Mill – Natacha & Dave

leesa — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:21:38 +0000

Natacha & Dave are such a young and vibrant couple with a lot of energy. They knew that honouring the traditional look both of their families wanted was very important but didn’t want things to appear stuffy. What they really needed? A modern twist.

Shades of neutrals were the jumping off point with the [...]

Ina & Alan…rich reds in the Distillery District.

leesa — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:30:01 +0000

There was nothing typical about this couple and that was definitely reflected in their wedding day. Set amongst the beautiful and historical backdrop of the Distillery District, Ina & Alan had a quiet and simple ceremony in a gallery full of vibrant artwork. The reception to follow took place in Archeo with stainless steel communal [...]

Events in Bloom is booking pre-orders for Holiday decor!

leesa — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:37:59 +0000

Yes it is that time again and although I almost forgot, I was reminded by the trickle of orders coming in for fresh and silk holiday decor already. Perhaps I should start my pre-ordering now so I can get everything made and delivered in time!

As usual we will be designing everything from simple Christmas dinner [...]

The effortless beauty that is autumn….

leesa — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:19:52 +0000

The bad news is it’s followed by winter, the good news?… it’s a beautiful time for flowers! Deep reds, vibrant yellows, warm oranges and bold burgundy, this is what I picture when I think of fall. Sweaters, leaves, warm apple cider and a pot of stew simmering on the stove bring to mind my favourite [...]
