Spring is in the air…beautiful wedding ideas.

leesa — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 14:23:22 +0000

Who doesn’t love Spring? After a long cold winter there is nothing better than that first day of sunshine and warmth. Buds on the trees and the first bursts of colour from crocuses and forsythia. Everything smells fresh and new, people seem to be in a better mood all around. I love when I start [...]

Keeping up with traditions.

Roses mean love, lilies mean virtue. Centuries ago brides carried pungent herbs and spices down the aisle meant to ward off evil spirits but today brides carry beautiful bouquets of flowers that coordinate with her wedding decor and season.

Thought it might be fun to research some floral wedding traditions from around the world. Did you [...]

Food for thought…and decor.

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 [...]

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 [...]

The effortless beauty that is autumn….

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 [...]

Amidst the fall splendour – Sandra & John

leesa — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:49:05 +0000

October is a beautiful month to get married…that is if you are lucky enough to get one of those perfect fall days. Sandra & John had luck on their side as they tied the knot on a sunny and warm Saturday in early October at the Hunt Club nestled in the Scarborough Bluffs. The bride [...]

Shaliza & Chad…classic white by candlelight..

leesa — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:06:08 +0000

Chic and unique were adjectives thrown around at our initial consultation. Chad and Shaliza are a young, professional and vibrant couple so of course their wedding day should reflect this. Held at Andrew Richard designs downtown, the ceremony encompassed the entire second floor with a sea of white. Draping, white chairs, aisle runner and a [...]

Everyone was a buzz with the stars and parties and of course the movies! I am fortunate to work with Scott Koch of Spin Radius Events who was at the forefront of the Diesel [...]
