Funeral Receptions 🕊️ with just a few short days to arrange, we were grateful to serve this lovely family at a The Savoy event banquet hall in Scarborough, near to the cemetery.

Over 200 guests enjoyed the family’s choice caterer with beautiful centrepieces and entry arrangements by their favoured florist 🤍🌿

… Back in September at York University - the brief was “simple and natural” - celebrating a great and accomplished person who was grounded and down to earth. 🍂 🍃

A beautiful service in the Scott Religious Centre led to an intimate reception where decor was foraged Crab Apple branches and Sumac with blueberries and raspberries for accents
🍎 🫐

Contrasting the Brutalist architecture of the library a rather lovely memory table emerged.

Great catering and staffing by .catering 🧀 🍉 ☕️

A intimate memorial from August 🧡🤍💛 a live cellist who showed compassion and skill and probably my favourite element.

Subtle decor, candles, and foliage around the mantle was the light touch needed. 🕊️

Held in the charming “Mill Room” at

The warmest words shared by family, friends, and colleagues showed how special this gentleman was and what beautiful memories he has left.

Finally! A follow up post on Florals 💛 and Candles 🕯️ from a beautiful Remembrance that took place in June.

A passion for cooking 🪴 in June we honoured the life of someone who had so many creative passions - an inspiring life - and we had so much to share in memory tables and visual displays. 🥘 🎸 📚

A reflective venue
Fresh herbs, concept and styling

Sometimes all the quotes, sayings, and platitudes about grief can feel trite to me.

I realize however that there are so many because we are all so unique and nothing is trite if it strikes a chord for even just one person in loss.

This quote speaks to me.

To continue living without someone can feel unbearable. To continue living for both us feels a little more possible ❤️‍🩹

The Ceremony room begins to take shape. 🤍

Carefully curated elements relating to Regency Moderne 🕋- with a Scottish twist.

🪞 black & white chairs, gold-coloured side tables and mirrored table for the Urn

💚 Beautiful Florals make their way to the Urn table, podium and atop a geometric black plinth.

Thoughtful details from the family 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 - tartan bags tied to the chairs (with ‘wee sixpence’ inside!) personalized tissue packs, and tartan runner, begin to add depth.

When I began Celebrations of Life Toronto, I wanted to elevate the traditional "memory table". Recently, we had an opportunity, to not only elevate but allow the idea to expand into a "memory vignette". With draping, furniture rentals, and all the important memorabilia from the family, this one blew everyone away. A sneak peak here and more to come.

I think putting a real, beautiful tree inside one’s house and decorating it is such a charming tradition. 🎄
