I had the most amazing time working with Sue and Andrea on their outdoor summer wedding! The tented reception was held at a Golf Club just North of the City and during the daytime the natural sunlight made every photo that much prettier. In the evening we got a bit of rain but the sheer gorgeousness of this pastel pink fresh fete was enough to make everyone forget about the gloomy weather. Susan was glowing and looked absolutely stunning which made my job a breeze when it came to doing her hair and makeup that day. These gorgeous photos were taken by Kevin Lam http://www.kevinlamphoto.com/ and the video was all done by the absolutely fabulous Still Motion Photo + Cinema. http://www.stillmotion.ca/ When I first asked for Susan’s wedding wish list she told me that she wanted a same day edit that would make her guests cry. Still Motion, as always, made the most gorgeous video a bride (and her wedding planner) could ever hope for! (I will post the video in the next post) A deliciously sweet thank-you to Sugar Baking http://www.sugar-baking.com/ for the adorable sweets!
These 2 were one of the sweetest couples I have ever had the pleasure of working with! They sent our contact to their friends Cecille + Ryan whose wedding we planned only a few weeks later. (photos of that to come) I LOVED bumping into them and catching up at another wedding! I could literally spend hours chatting with Sue + Andrea. Imagine my excitement when they told me they added another to their happy family – Nutella!
I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do!

When I first met Farah & Phillip I KNEW their wedding would be a FUN one! They met while working on a cruise ship and one might even say– It was Love at First Sight! Farah is an outstanding singer and dancer. It is no wonder she was practically irresistible to him. Phillip is a phenomenal cook and an absolute charmer. They are literally made for one another. They bonded over their love of wine, travel, food, and music and celebrated their wedding on May 30th 2010 at the always beautiful Graydon Hall Manor in Toronto.
Right at the start of our most busy wedding planning season to date – these two brought a constant wave of energy that was refreshing and so memorable….. and that doesn’t include their beautiful BRIDAL PARTY! Their crew of professional singers, dancers, poets, and actresses were the absolute life of the party. I don’t think I saw them sit down for even one song. Melissa Andre – Celebrate.Beauty. also brought our hair and makeup team along for the energetic ride and I think they all look stunning!
The gorgeous florals were done by the talented Mirella at Rainflower (Mirella actually took some of these photos as well so I have to credit her as an amateur photographed for this post!)
The wine and “cheese” cake was by Cakeatiers – it was so delicious. ( http://www.cakeatiers.com/) Professional photos by Charles Wong at Fotodio http://www.fotodio.ca/
Again a big thank-you to Bryn at Graydon Hall and Couture Cuisine http://www.couture-cuisine.com/ for all their hard work and beautiful results!
Enjoy!

I could honestly gush FOREVER about this bride and her family. Katarina and her 2 GORGEOUS sisters and mom were an absolute dream come true to work with. From her Oscar De La Renta wedding gown to her bouquet of Orchids, roses, and Peonies there was nothing at this wedding that was less than perfect. Below are some beautiful photos thanks to Shutterbrugs, Bliss, Designing Trendz, and everyone else for making this blog-worthy wedding happen! P.s. Katarina is also a super talented cake maker so i’m sure i’ll be blogging about that part of this beautiful bride’s life soon enough! Katarina was absolutely one of my all time favourite brides to work with ever so I’m so glad to be sharing photos from her wedding with you!
Working with Leanne on her wedding day was an absolute dream. Our first meeting at her apartment in the beaches went on for hours as we bonded over Disney princess hair, our favourite shampoo, allergic reactions, the colour blue, and naturally, her wedding! Every single detail of this wedding was handled to perfection, including the wedding day hair and makeup!
Here are just a few of the gorgeous images from her wedding! (Photos by Little White Dress)

MANY of my brides have met her in person because she is one of our lead hair stylists!! We spend many early mornings and late nights together making brides absolutely stunning on the most important day of their lives. So, when Melanie got engaged, we spent years (2 to be exact) thinking about her look and creating something as stunning as she is!
These are her engagement and wedding photos shot by Gene Medeiros! I think they are absolutely beautiful! It was my absolute pleasure doing Melanie’s hair and makeup for her wedding! Enjoy – Melissa
