Details can bring your personality into the wedding day to make it feel like * your * day.

A few of the personalized elements of my past weddings that I love include:
• this fun and playful WIFEY4LIFEY clutch!
• a vinyl record that featured the newlyweds first dance song as the guest book
• custom temporary tattoos for guests
• personalized mini jars of Nutella as place card favours
• a groom’s 4th generation pocket watch

What personal detail have you seen at a wedding that stood out to you? Comment below!

✨FIRST LOOK MAGIC✨

I ALWAYS recommend couples to have their “first look” and couple photos prior to the ceremony.

Why, you ask?
• Instead having this intimate moment in front of all of your guests, it’s between just you two (and your photographer). You get to feel all the emotions fully present together!
• You have time to enjoy and soak in this moment rather than going straight into the ceremony and moving on from it
• Couple photos take time. Doing them prior to the ceremony means more time to spend with your guests during cocktails instead of leaving them to go snap photos.

Who had or is planning to have a first look on their wedding day?

“This I vow, this I pledge, this I swear;
I am yours faithfully for all time and for whatever lies beyond.”

My husband and I wrote our wedding vows together and ended them with this. It still gives me butterflies to hear him say it. 🥰

“I hired Rebecca for my wedding in October, 2021.
She was there for me every step of the way while I was trying to plan a covid wedding over two years. In addition to her regular duties as a planner, she also shared insider tips with me to ensure I stayed on budget. She helped me sort out my floral dilemmas and also pointed me in the right direction whenever I needed help. On the day of my wedding, everything flowed seamlessly. There was an accident with one of my guests slipping and needing medical attention but I was clueless to the fact because Rebecca just TOOK CHARGE of the situation so that the bride and groom could have a PERFECT night. Thank you for blessing us with a flawless wedding!”

The best part about getting ready for your big day is spending time with your squad! 👯‍♀️💅🏻🥂

I always build in extra time for getting ready in the morning for my clients because I want you to be able to relax and enjoy yourselves. You can’t do that if you’re rushing around and stressed about the time! Have fun with your crew in the morning knowing that I’m onsite taking care of everything on your behalf. ✨👌🏻

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT 👀

I always thought the idea of this was silly and superficial. UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME!

Fifteen years ago a handsome young man walked up to me and my friends, shook my hand, and introduced himself.
"That is the man I am going to marry."
It was such a strange thought to have but I felt SO SURE about it. It wasn't a wish, it was a fact. It was like I already knew. I guess you could say I wasn't technically in love at that point, but when the two of us hung out shortly after it was an immediate connection, and as soon as I heard him sing, you better believe I was in love at THAT moment!

That man and I have been together for fifteen years now (our anniversary was yesterday), married for +4, and have a baby girl together. And he still sings to me. 🤍

Let me in the comments below: do you believe in love at first sight?

It’s officially Wedding Season babyyyy! 🍾

Did you know that the vast majority of weddings in Ontario take place between May and October? It’s due to better weather conditions, of course!

Like many people set to wed in 2020, bride Cindy had to postpone her date by more than a year. As you can see, she was EXTRA excited to finally tie the knot! 🥂

Some fun memories from Lavinia & Elkin's wedding to kick off the week!

I adored Lavinia's bridesmaid's corsages and their mix and match dresses! They added such a fun element to the bridal party, which Lavinia & Elkin are all about! 🍾

Do you love mix and match bridesmaid dresses? Or are you more of a classic bridesmaid dress kind of girl?

Hey future brides and grooms. Can I let you in on a little secret? 🤫

When it comes to your wedding day, one thing trumps everything else.

One thing that matters most when it comes to planning your wedding day and celebrating it.

No, it's not your venue, guest list, main meal, wedding dress, or your first dance.

It's YOU.

Your relationship. Your love story. Your marriage.

It can be so easy to get caught up in all the details, and yes, they are important, but what's more important is soaking up every moment with each other as you start the next chapter in your life together.

If you need help planning and executing your special day so you can focus on what really matters, please get in touch via the link in my bio.

At Champagne & Cedar, it is important to us that we work with clients that align with our core values. We believe that marriage is forever and a sacred act that shouldn’t be entered into lightly.

When you commit to spending your life with someone it is more than just words. As the saying goes, “actions speak louder than words,“ and it’s the acts you continue to make day after day that will help keep your marriage alive.

If marriage means the same to you, we would love to help you enter the next chapter of your forever journey together with support, love and happiness.
