Whats for dinner tonight?? Ever just open your fridge and be unmotivated by the same boring stuff 🧆 I’m missing catered weddings; the fancy food, appetizers, the delicious desserts.... the late night SNACKS 😭 What I would give for some warm creme brûlée

"Please wear a poppy," the lady said,
And held one forth, but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old and lined with care;

But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.
A boy came whistling down the street,
Bouncing along on care-free feet.

His smile was full of joy and fun,
"Lady," said he, "may I have one?"
When she'd pinned it on, he turned to say;
"Why do we wear a poppy today?"

The lady smiled in her wistful way
And answered; "This is Remembrance Day.
And the poppy there is a symbol for
The gallant men who died in war.

And because they did, you and I are free -
That's why we wear a poppy, you see.
I had a boy about your size,
With golden hair and big blue eyes.

He loved to play and jump and shout,
Free as a bird, he would race about.
As the years went by, he learned and grew,
And became a man - as you will, too.

He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile,
But he'd seemed with us such a little while
When war broke out and he went away.
I still remember his face that day.

When he smiled at me and said, 'Goodbye,
I'll be back soon, Mum, please don't cry.'
But the war went on and he had to stay,
And all I could do was wait and pray.

His letters told of the awful fight
(I can see it still in my dreams at night),
With the tanks and guns and cruel barbed wire,
And the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.

Till at last, at last, the war was won -
And that's why we wear a poppy, son."
The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said, "Thanks, lady, I'm glad to know.
That sure did sound like an awful fight
But your son - did he come back all right?"
A tear rolled down each faded cheek;
She shook her head, but didn't speak
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
And if you were me, you'd have done the same:

For our thanks, in giving, if oft delayed,
Though our freedom was bought - and thousands paid!
And so, when we see a poppy worn,
Let us reflect on the burden borne
By those who gave their very all
When asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy! Remember - and Give!

It’s all In the details. Still obsessing over my past clients who chose a camping theme - paying tribute to one of their favourite things to do together.

When I think of Saturday’s in the off season I like to think of myself sipping coffee, under a fuzzy blanket watching romantic comedies on Netflix. Lately however this is not the case... Saturday’s are filled with errands; changing tires, changing brake pads, cleaning, grocery shopping... the list goes on.

Here’s to those lazy Saturdays!!

Throwback to this tent wedding from 2018..... What a creative way to display table numbers!! I wouldn’t in my wildest thoughts pair hula hoops and leaves to display seating charts.. but how incredibly unique and beautiful!

Bubbles + Wine = the original love story ❤
With the cold weather rolling in, so does bath season in which I spend long amounts of time in the tub, refusing to get out and back into the cold. The best part... with smart phones I can do my prep-work for meetings, and answer emails all from in the comfortable confines of my tub 🛁

Anyone else do there best thinking in the tub?

Anyone else going stir crazy? With all this time at home I’ve been able to spend some quality time with the pets (and notice their bad habits). anyone else have any funny pet videos to share?

Yesterday, I was at the Purple Hill Country Hall coordinating for a beautiful couple: Kim & Ian. Happy to be a part of their day! This venue is so unique, complete with a walk around balcony inside that Kim threw her bouquet from ❤

Spent my morning here at the Dundee Golf and Country Club 🌼🌼 this beautiful weather makes it a perfect day for a wedding!

As quickly as the day goes by, don't forget to connect with your partner and have a few moments to take it all in 💕 Remember that the day is a celebration of your love

It all started with a small idea...

Who doesn't love weddings? I know I do. As soon as I became engaged I threw myself into planning, buying decor and setting up styled items in my house to test out my ideas for my big day. That’s when it hit me.... I want to do this for a living. I am a Certified Wedding Planner through the Wedding Planning Institute of Canada, decorator and decor rental one stop shop. I specialize in rustic and vintage themes however am open to anything you might have in mind.
