How to shower your bride to be with love?
Here are the top non-negotiables from our expert wedding and event planner, Renee Foote

1. A cohesive theme to fuse the event style and decor together.
2. Designate a host for the event. As the bride, guests will want to interact with you throughout the event, appoint your maid of honor or other close bestie to run the event on your behalf.
3. A great backdrop for photo opportunities.
4. Amazing food! Even if the event is short and sweet, feed your guests remarkable treats that will make the memory of this day last that much longer.
5. Great signage - welcome sign, drink menu, and more add to the feeling of being in a “special” event.
6. Fun interactive games that showcase how much the gals love their bride
7. Don’t forget a favor - albeit a wonderful cookie, a bracelet or charm and much more, show your appreciation for the guests who took the time to attend.

Here's how it worked:

"The American restaurant TGIF holds a special place in our hearts, we met over Sangria" - said the Bride.

"So why not bring a taste of that magic to your bridal shower?" - we answered.

Inspired by their favorite spot and the flavors of Spain, we weaved Emma a celebration as unique and enchanting as our bride's love story.

The planning began with the jumping off point of the rich wine colors of Sangria, infused Spanish related tapas into the menu - and - we even requested custom crafted cookies to resemble Spanish tiles.

The result? Love & Laughter amongst all who attended!

Who's next to shower their bride with love? DM saying SHOWER for our quick response, we're ready to support you next!

Cheers to Love, Renee 💓

How to make your wedding unique?
Honestly, Lovebirds, it’s all about infusing your personality into every aspect, that creates an unforgettable experience for your guests.

Take our latest photo shoot. Our bride to be is a modern woman (aka a force to be reckoned with!) she is a daring, yet demure and classy.

Here’s how these messages were portrayed:
We dared to be different by embracing the unconventional with a white lace suit, symbolizing the empowerment of this modern bride. Our bride is courageous & bold, therefore her look and feel expresses who she is!

Our bouquet featured an avant garde departure from white on white with a pop of black from he anemone flower
AND
For entertainment, we had to include with the sounds from electric harp. It’s easy to swoon over the music that Rachel creates, but her electric harp is an “Edgy” look that is another unique element our modern bride would like to incorporate into her special day.

These are just a few examples of how we infused into the photo shoot to reflect the bride that values timeless elegance with unique modern twists. When it comes time to make your wedding the one to remember, we’ll create the styling that make your wedding UNIQUE along with the logistics and expertise that make your wedding EASY.

On your wedding da, should you arrive in grand style? Absolutely! What better day than this?

We loved how our couple Chole & Paul (along with fur baby Merlot) started their day with a splash!.
That being said Lovebirds, transportation is an important detail for your special day. During peak season vendor bookings go quickly. From your getting ready location to ceremony and then venue, you deserve a pampered ride. It’s not everyday you get married right?..
Let us know in the comments below what transportation are you taking on your wedding day? Rolls Royce, Limo, Uber?

Dropping a burst of fresh spring color into your wedding plans today!

Here are 3 ways to bring a colorful touch to your wedding vision:

1. Ask your maids to wear a range of colors from your wedding palette. Our bride Morgan - had spectacular results for her special day don’t you think?

2. We’ve seen many successful celebrations with soft muted colors as the focal point throughout the event. Embrace the subtlety!

3. When it comes to Table dressing - Be bold with mix patterns and colors for a uniquely cohesive look. We’ve found that focusing on one color as a foundation then using more color as an accent can be a sophisticated, upbeat way to create your personal event style.

Two lovebirds, one tent….

Congratulations Morgan & Graeme! Here’s to happiness, love, and many magical moments to come! ✨
We had the pleasure of catering this refined summer fete in cottage country in July 2023. It was a casually elegant affair with menu of summery favourites such as maple glazed salmon & AAA beef sliders hot off the grill.

As the sunset drew near, the glorious sailcloth became a magical setting for our lovebirds, along with their friends and family.

Eeks!!! Can’t wait to support more couples in beautiful outdoor weddings like this in 2024!

As well, who knew that blueberry lemonade could be so delicious? HIghly recommend it! Thank you Momma Bella for having us curate this event.
