Making a pouty sad face just like this pup because my business page has been scammed/duplicated by someone else and 200 different accounts are already following them 😒 It seems someone is trying to scam/duplicate my business page 🥺
Please report if you can, their account name is "simplydarlingevent"😡

Loving the trend of incorporating Neon Signs into the wedding design.

O+J used their sign to create the perfect photo backdrop for them and their guests. Everyone absolutely loved this set up!

During cocktails when all the guests were outside in the courtyard, we moved the ceremony arbour from in front of the Neon Sign and transferred all the candle accessories over as well. It was the best way to repurpose their ceremony decor and florals💚

I love helping my couples repurpose and make the most out of all their decor and florals while budgeting for other parts that matter most to them like awesome bites and drinks🥂🌮

Lots of availability still for 2022 (except for September & October 😜)

I had the most wonderful and jammed packed weekend! I got to serve the loveliest couple this past weekend as they finally said "I Do" after having to postpone in 2020 and all the challenges and unknowns that the government/COVID threw our way in 2021!

It turned out to be the most magical day spent at , the weather was absolute perfection for these two and their closest friends and family! It truly felt like the most intimate family and friends reunion and celebration.

Cousins and guests got to play Can Jam and Bocci Ball, lounge in the grass, lay down a blanket and enjoy a delicious picnic meal with their loved ones, it was so special and unique.

I am so thankful for this guy right here, he has relentlessly supported me over the past 12 years we've been together! Especially since I decided to completely leave behind my primary career as a dental hygienist and follow my dreams by going back to college to become an Event Planner/Manager.

As soon as I wrote my final exams I began working at an amazing full service event and wedding design firm where I got to help so many couples walk into their dream wedding ceremonies/receptions through FLD's stunning decor and florals. I also got to manage and coordinate for the sweetest couples at the Slit Barn that I'll never forget🥰

In January 2019, I took that scary and overwhelming jump into entrepreneurship to start Simply Darling Events......Josh was there to give me hugs and words of encouragement when I wasn't so sure I had made the right choice to leave the security of my full time job. My first wedding season as Simply Darling Events was everything I could have hoped for💚 I'm so thankful Josh believed in me and my passion for the event industry💒

2020 was shaping up to be an unbelievably busy and jam packed season for Simply Darling then on March 13th my whole world shut down. COVID sure has thrown a wrench in my plans to grow as a business and meet my financial goals. Through the last 13+ months dealing with all the challenges, frustrations and heartbreaks from the government restrictions on the Event Industry Josh has stood by my side, listened to me rant and helped me work through my grief when my couples' hopes and dreams were being destroyed by COVID 😭👎
Happy 12 years to my sweetie!🎉🥂 This is our first anniversary in our first house together so this one feels extra special🏡

How to plan your Micro Wedding: Step 3✨
Discuss with your partner the possibility of having your wedding take place on a weekday or Sunday🙌
With Saturdays and Fridays being the first days that vendors get booked through wedding season, the florist or hair & makeup artist you have been eyeing since before you got engaged might not be available for your ideal weekend date and YOU KNOW WHAT? That is OKAY🤗

Often times, vendors are so over-joyed to be a part of weddings even if it's on a Tuesday 💓 With more availability during the weekdays or Sundays, you can have your dream team of vendors involved in your special day and you might even save some money in the process too as vendor and venue rates for Fridays and Saturdays are usually much higher💲💸

This Intimate Ceremony for 30 guests is one of my favourites that I have styled to date. I sourced all the decor, furniture and accessories from some of the best designers in Southwestern Ontario and I DIY'd all the florals myself! I love creating these stunning areas for my couples especially when I get to work directly with loose florals and greenery to produce simplistic displays.

When working with a floral designer, ask them about creating different floral arrangement pieces that can be repurposed from ceremony to reception.

For example, a Large Statement Floral Piece from your ceremony arch taken down and re-created in front of your sweetheart table or head table🌸🌿

As a planner, I am so happy to transition/changeover floral pieces for my couples as I have experience in creating and installing floral pieces to repurpose from ceremony to reception. 🤗

How to plan your Micro Wedding Step 2✨
Set your Top Priorities/Must Haves for your special day and then form your BUDGET around those 2-5 areas🙌

Sit down as a couple and have an honest and open discussion about your most important details are and how they will enhance your guest experience🌿🎉

After you have figured out your intial overall concept and an appropriate number for your overall budget, you can start reaching out to vendors equipped with the exact information you're looking for and you can begin to plug in those costs for the various services and details you would love to incorporate.

IF THE THOUGHT OF reaching out to vendors and collecting all this information and aligning your budget makes you feel overwhelmed, anxious and stressed then the BEST THING YOU CAN DO for your sanity will be to hire a Planner like myself and I will guide you through the sourcing process and make it an enjoyable experience for you and your partner💚🤗

Examples of past couples Must Haves:
1) Top Notch Canapes and Plated Dinner Experience for the Foodies out there
2) Statement Floral Pieces from your ceremony arch to aisle entrance pieces to sweetheart table arrangements and so much more
3) Favourite Wines, Craft Beers and Fun Cocktails with an impressive Bar Service Team which could definitely be a form of entertainment depending on your bartender 🔥
4) Unique Dinnerware Rentals from Chargers to Cutlery to Plates to Glassware....beefing up these details will do wonders for your tablescape design
5) Tasty Late Night Food Truck for you and your guests to enjoy as an end of the night event and send off treat🥨🍟

What is one of your wedding must-haves? 💒🌸🌿🌮🧁🍹

How to plan a Micro Wedding: Step 1✨

Put together an Initial Wedding Vision and Concept so you have a general idea of WHEN and WHERE your wedding could be. Whether your dream wedding is indoors in a super cool brewery or museum or butterfly conservatory 🍺🐞 OR outdoors under a clear tent or under a canopy of white draping Al fresco style 🌿🌸🌷

This is an all-important first step in the wedding planning process and good news is with a more intimate guest count of 50 or less, there are EVEN MORE spaces and venues you could have access to that you wouldn't normally with a wedding of 75/100/150 guests 🔥🙌

Hi my darlings! It sure has been a while since I've shown up on my own feed 😌 I have had my head down working on multiple new projects with some amazing Ottawa based vendors✨🖊️🗒️📊

From creating a fun, fresh concept for an upcoming styled shoot in April to planning a baby shower in May 👣👶 to collaborating and discussing packages that are INCLUSIVE, INTIMATE AND ACCESSIBLE to all couples wishing to commit to each other in 2021 💞

Plus I'm spending some much needed quality time with my immediate family in Niagara so I apologize if it takes me a few days to get back to emails, DMs and other messages🤗

Our LANGUAGE matters! Inclusion and ALL couples feeling represented and WELCOMED matters.

Everytime I see the word "Bridal" in magazines, online blogs, advertising for Expos....my blood pressure rises🧑‍⚕️

It is such a privilege to be in this beautiful industry of weddings but we all need to do our part and lead by example. Inclusivity is everything and language is ever so powerful! The more we lead, the more we change.

I always get so excited to meet my couples, hear their stories, how their love began and what they dream of for their day.

When we know better, we do BETTER! xo 💚🔥

Wedding friendors, inclusivity is SO SO important! We need to stay informed and educated on so much in our industry so today I'm giving you some things to think about in the off-season when you working behind the scenes in your business✍️💻👩‍🏫

1) Take a look at your canned email responses, social media platform profiles, website copy, pricing guide and other marketing materials/documents and remove all gender-specific wording from these places

Replace "bride" and "groom" with Fiance and/or Partner

Using the term Couple or Partners is crucial too, there's never just ONE person getting married, a marriage involves TWO people

Replace "bridal party" with Wedding Party

2) On your social media profiles, edit them to make it abundantly clear to couples looking at your work that you are accepting of ALL love. Our LGBTQ* couples need a safe and secure assurance that vendors are inclusive and supporting marriages of all orientations and genders. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍 I would also include your pronouns in your profile so they know how to address you in their inquiry.

3) Website Inquiry Forms: revise them to include areas for couples to input the following fields:
Names of Partner 1 & Partner 2
Pronouns

I think those three tips will keep you busy 🤗 I have more coming soon!✨

✨Micro Wedding Magic right here 🎃🤘

On my stories, I'm talking all about how Micro Weddings are a perfect compromise that can be tailored to suit the unique style of a couple and a celebration that is a true reflection of you as a couple.

Sabrina and Glen had the best Hallo-wedding👻 where they got to showcase their love for spooky and moody things, their passion for heavy metal rock and quality time with their 48 guests.

I especially loved that they made sure their guests all got a professional photo done with their spouse/partner/plus one to include in their wedding guest book so they would lots of photo memories of all their nearest and dearest to look back on. 💚

Happy 7th Dating Anniversary to Olivia & Andrew! I'm so excited for your wedding this November at 🥰

These two reconnected in the summer of 2012 through mutual high school friends at one of their favourite bars in Burlington. The timing wasn't quite right for these two to be more than friends that summer but when they were both un-attached in October 2012, they started to get to know each other as more than friends. 💚

I just love hearing relationship stories like these where two people found their way back to one another years and years after knowing each other in high school. It warms my heart to hear their friendship blossomed into the most beautiful union and their adorable son, Nathan is so lucky to have parents who make each other laugh and smile as much these two do!

I hope you both take a break from the home renos today 😉

Happy Galentines Day to all the special ladies in my life as well as our past & future brides! 💃

I am so lucky to have gals that have stuck with me over the past 13 years, not to mention all over the province from living in three different cities! Girl friends make you SHINE on your wedding day & every other day! ☀️

As the wise Leslie Knope once said “Every February 13, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style... Ladies celebrating ladies!"

Hopefully we will be able to kick it together some day soon! 💚

Happy Galentine's day lady friends!

I'm so happy that I have photos like these to look back on, especially when it's been 4 months since I've been able to see my family (really sick of COVID isolating us all). 😢

These family portraits we did in September, with the amazing Kelsey of in front of the Seagram Lofts in Waterloo, were so fun!

As you can tell, my poor Mom and Dad raised three girls, I'm the oldest 😁 Larissa is two years younger than me and Serena is five years younger than me.

I've asked my Mom whether it was a nightmare raising three teenage girls at the same time and I don't know if she was just being modest as she said it wasn't that bad. 😝 Guess she got lucky there haha!

I'm hopeful I'll be able to see them real soon! Hang in there my darlings, you're not alone. Reach out if you need someone to talk to, chances are that person is also feeling lonely and would appreciate talking about how they're feeling too. 💚

Do you want lots of intimate moments like these on your wedding day? 🔥

A First Look is one of the ways you can carve out time that is intentionally focused on just the two of you. I would highly recommend doing this with your photographer if you do not like being the center of attention (which I'm totally in the same boat there 😛)

If your newlywed portraits are really important to you and you want the majority of your photos to reflect that then a first look gives you and your photographer that extra breathing room in the day of timeline. So you can take in all the special moments when you first see each other in your wedding attire, you can cry those happy tears without worrying who is watching.

Often times, in the hours leading up to the ceremony... jitters and emotions are running high in anticipation of walking down the aisle. Doing a first look can take that pressure of you both while allowing you to have quality time together before your guests arrive.

Not sure if a first look is right for you? Send me a DM and I would love to help you work through what is right for you. ☺️
