Sayma & Jeremy: June 23, 2012

Yesterday we had the pleasure of watching Sayma & Jeremy's dreams come true as they got married under a tree canopy at Todmorden Mills.

A true inspiration of how love conquers all differences and boudaries, their wedding merged two very distinct cultures.

Sayma wanted to honour her homeland (Bangladesh) traditions by wearing a gorgeous flowing turquoise gown.  Jeremy looked dapper in his black suit and matching turquoise tie. 

Here they are exchanging vows in their outdoor ceremony.  Sayma had a chandelier with turquoise candles hanging from a tree branch behind the officiant, with beautiful crystal ornaments hanging from the branches.  Sadly my poor photography skills with my amateur camera doesn't do it justice but hopefully you get the idea!


The reception was held inside the Todmorden Mills Art Gallery.  It's a very lovely space and not many people know about it!  A hidden gem in the city!

A wishing tree and signing table greeted guests as they arrived.  Although simple in concept, with that manzanita tree was full of well wishes by the end of the night and the table overflowing with brightly wrapped gifts.



Sayma is a professional cake decorator and actually teaches cake decorating in her spare time.  She made her own cake and what a masterpiece!  It tasted pretty fabulous too!  :)


Did I mention friend Samantha added to the late night sweet table a sundae bar?

Live music was provided to keep the guests in high spirits.  Sayma and Jeremy did their first dance to the Louis Armstrong classic "It's a Wonderful World".


By the end of the night, we were all pretty tired... but happy!  Congrats Sayma & Jeremy!

Leah & Mike's Wedding - June 9th, 2012

So this wedding season is off to a great start with Leah and Mike!  



This awesome, fun-loving and full of life couple exchanged vows at St. Mary's Church in Brampton.



Leah was gorgeous (but that's easy for her I would imagine!) in her fitted trumpet style lace gown.  Mike wore a black tux while his groomsmen opted for grey suits.  The ladies wore fuschia tea-length dresses with silver high heels.  They rocked!

The weatherman was calling for rain all day but Mother Nature cooperated and the happy couple enjoyed merely a few drops all day... for the most part it was no more than overcast but the sun did peek out here and there for photoshoot time! 


The reception was held at the Apollo Convention Centre in Brampton. 

The reception area was decorated with silver, with a birdcage cardbox.

The guestbook was Leah & Mike's engagement photo, framed with a mat upon which guests would write their well wishes, all framed and resting on an easel.




The hall was decorated with princess tableskirts, exquisite crystals and candelabras, alternating high and low centerpieces of pink roses and peonies and fuschia lighting to die for! 





The cake was a three tier white cake with pink and purple peonies cascading down.  It was YUMMY!

The centerpieces were WOW!



Thankfully, everything went great and we wore sensible shoes to keep up with the day's activities!  Thanks Leah & Mike for letting us be a part of your special day!   (Claudia was busy with the couple at the park when this photo was taken otherwise she would have been there with us!)
