Dulangi and Eric celebrated their love surrounded by family and friends in a wedding that truly reflected who they are as a couple. Their journey is rooted in shared laughter, deep connection, and the sense that their paths were always meant to cross. From the very first meeting, it was clear how genuine and thoughtful their bond is, making them a joy to work with.
The celebration at Deer Creek featured an elegant cocktail hour and a joyful reception filled with meaningful moments, heartfelt toasts, and an infectious sense of celebration.
Every detail, from intentional design choices to the seamless flow of the day, reflected the couple’s warmth and personality. The palette of soft blues, beiges, and warm white, along with draping, a hand-drawn dance floor, and large trees, created an inviting, intimate setting. Dulangi and Eric’s wedding was a true testament to partnership, family, and celebration.

It’s always hard to choose one favourite wedding, but for 2025 it was Samantha and Mario because of the connection we had. I had met Samantha a few times while planning one of her bridesmaids’ weddings, and we immediately clicked. Our conversations went beyond the wedding, which made planning her own day especially meaningful.
On the wedding day, Samantha and Mario were completely present, from photos to the dance floor, fully embracing the energy of a classic Italian celebration. I loved the design – classic yet modern, with black accents paired beautifully with blush and white.

Jane and Igor’s wedding at Willow Springs Winery was one of my favourites of 2025 because it felt effortlessly true to who they are. Jane came to me less than two months before the wedding, asking me to plan her dream intimate celebration from start to finish, and my team and I brought her beautiful vision to life in that short time.
From the romantic walk through the vineyard to the soft lavender and blush details in the florals, the tablescape by COCO by covers couture, and the cake by Dolce Vita Cakes, every element felt intentional without ever being overdone. The setting was warm and elegant, the design timeless, and the atmosphere deeply heartfelt – a perfect balance of refined aesthetics and soulful celebration.

This wedding was designed around a blue and yellow colour palette. Fresh shades of blue formed the base, accented with touches of bright yellow to add playfulness and joy – creating an atmosphere that feels light, cheerful, and full of life.
The backdrop featured a cascading, waterfall-like design. Layers of gradient blue draping flowed softly as the foundation, topped with sheer fabrics that seemed to dance gently in the air, like a summer breeze. The overall effect was ethereal, romantic, and wonderfully creative, setting the tone for a truly enchanting celebration.
Adding to the joy, the couple’s two beloved cats made a special appearance. Their presence was irresistibly adorable, bringing an extra layer of warmth, love, and sweetness to the day.

Romy and Dylan’s wedding was a standout celebration of 2025, with over 400 guests in attendance and a focus on impactful décor, exceptional ambiance, and unforgettable food experiences. We incorporated a tomahawk carving station during cocktail hour and an interactive s’mores station for dessert.
In collaboration with R5 Event Design, we created a moody, sleek décor palette of black and green. Large-scale trees anchored the centre of the tables, green velvet napkins added rich texture, and a statement light-up velvet bar paired with a 100+ foot watercolour dance floor brought the room to life. When Romy and Dylan first saw the space, their expressions said it all.

We had the pleasure of designing Idara and Noah’s October wedding as an ode to nature, Old World romance, and the music that binds them. Set at Catana Estate, the tented reception let guests enjoy the golden fall landscape.
In collaboration with Sheer Elegance Weddings, the design embraced emerald and burgundy jewel tones with vintage touches – green crystal goblets, wax-sealed menus, harvest tables, and eucalyptus garlands softened with roses. A standout moment was a five-foot vintage scroll with the couple’s favorite love quote, cascading down their sweetheart table like a heartfelt surprise.
Music threaded through the day, from a vinyl-record seating chart to genre-inspired table names and a live band during cocktail hour. Thoughtful, personal, and elegant, Idara and Noah’s wedding was a celebration of intimacy and artistry – and we were thrilled to bring it to life!

Victoria and Dorian’s wedding at Graydon Hall Manor was breathtaking in every possible way. From the elegant details to the vibrant energy that filled the room, every aspect of the wedding was luxurious and stunning, but what truly set it apart were the people. The couple, their families, and their guests were an absolute joy to work with: warm, spirited, and genuinely gracious. I pour my heart into every celebration I plan, but there’s something uniquely fulfilling about designing a momentous day for individuals who radiate such kindness and positivity. Their presence made the entire experience feel even more meaningful.

Set within the historic stone walls of Hart House this autumn wedding was deeply personal, chosen for the place where the couple’s story first began. Autumn florals layered with rich foliage and seasonal fruits like figs, grapes, and pomegranates created a moody, romantic palette that felt both timeless and dramatic.
I loved this wedding for the many personal touches woven throughout the celebration – details that made the day meaningful not only for the couple, but for every guest present.
From subtle moments honouring the bride’s father to the bride’s heartfelt speech to her parents-in-law delivered in Korean, and a porcelain doll cake topper drawn from her childhood, each element told a story rooted in memory, culture, and love.

Becca and Benji’s wedding was a stunning countryside affair at Innisfil’s Three Feathers Terrace, which provided a picturesque backdrop for their outdoor ceremony and indoor seated reception. The late September weather was perfect for incorporating outdoor elements, and the venue’s floor-to-ceiling windows allowed guests to enjoy both the couple’s obvious love for one another and the beautiful golden sunlight.
The celebration included meaningful Jewish traditions, such as the Tisch, Bedeken, the groom’s march to the bride, and the Chuppah outside. The floral design on the Chuppah matched the reception tablescapes, creating a cohesive and stylish look throughout the event.
More than anything, what made this wedding special was how in love Becca and Benji were, and the bride’s deeply genuine and emotional speech to their loved ones. She spoke to each member of their immediate families with personalized, touching words, giving everyone – including the planner – a glimpse into their lives. It was a wedding for the books, and we were honoured to help celebrate such a momentous occasion.

Rachel and Albert’s wedding at the Art Gallery of Ontario was a standout celebration of the 2025 season. Guests travelled from out of town to witness the union at this incredible modern museum venue in the heart of Toronto.
The day’s design was anchored by an intentional use of yellow, chosen not just for its aesthetic, but for its profound spiritual meaning. Grounded in the Taoist beliefs of the groom’s father, the palette represents “earth energy,” a stabilizing force meant to balance each other’s metal and fire energies.
Memorable moments included the bride’s mother, a professional violinist, performing a heartwarming medley during the ceremony, a surprise choreographed flash mob to kick off the dance floor, and the night ending with passed espresso martinis. It was a joy to help bring Rachel and Albert’s wedding weekend to life!

Charlotte and Vincent’s wedding at Three Feathers Terrace was one of our standout celebrations of 2025 – a perfect blend of refined minimalism, innovation, and serene romance.
The ceremony and reception featured a clean, elevated aesthetic with an all-white and soft blush palette, allowing the architecture and natural surroundings to shine while creating an effortlessly luxurious atmosphere. One of our favourite elements was the dramatic drapery tunnel installation – an unexpected, immersive design moment that greeted guests and set the tone instantly with soft movement, layered textures, and quiet sophistication.
Throughout the day, every detail felt intentional yet understated, from sculptural florals to delicate tablescape touches that enhanced the space without overwhelming it. The result was a wedding that felt clean, modern, and high-end, while still warm and deeply personal – a perfect example of how minimalism, executed thoughtfully, can feel both innovative and emotionally rich.

Bethany and Ben’s wedding unfolded as a quietly powerful expression of intentional design. Both creatives by trade, they approached their day with a shared philosophy: thoughtful choices, meaningful pacing, and an emphasis on presence over spectacle. The morning began at the Kimpton Saint George, where they prepared alongside their closest friends, allowing space for reflection before an intimate first look that set the emotional rhythm for the day.
Hosted at the Gardiner Museum, the celebration felt deeply aligned with who they are – modern, artistic, and thoughtful. Sculptural floral installations complemented the venue’s architecture, while soft lighting and restrained details created a warm, immersive atmosphere.
The evening culminated in a joyful shift of energy as Bethany and Ben opened the dance floor to a K-pop Demon Hunters track, a playful and personal moment that brought the room to life. Every element felt purposeful, resulting in a wedding that focused on timeless self-expression rather than fleeting trends.

Seany and Mike’s wedding at Harding Waterfront Estate was a thoughtful, beautifully layered celebration of love, culture, and intentional design. From the earliest storyboarding to final styling, our team curated every detail alongside trusted vendor partners, with stationery by June & Opal and lush florals by Astilbe Floral Boutique bringing the vision to life.
Touches of Seany’s Trinidadian heritage and Mike’s Chinese heritage were woven seamlessly throughout the day, creating moments that felt personal and deeply meaningful without ever feeling overstated. A soft palette of blue, ivory, cream, and the faintest blush set the tone, complemented by abundant florals and refined textures that conveyed quiet luxury.
Every choice was made with purpose. The result was a calm, elevated, and timeless celebration, where intention guided the design and elegance lived in the details. We thoroughly enjoyed designing and dreaming every step of the way with Seany and Mike.

Tian and Austin’s wedding was one of those celebrations that felt effortlessly heartfelt from start to finish. Having met at university back in 2016, their eight-year journey together was evident in every quiet glance and the genuine ease they share as a couple. Their biggest priority was simple: they wanted everyone to have a great time, enjoy incredible food and drinks, and truly feel welcomed. Their vision leaned into a romantic, blue-and-white palette with lush florals, soft candlelight, and layered textures that felt both elevated and inviting. Austin’s proposal along the beach at the Scarborough Bluffs set the tone for their wedding day, where nothing felt forced, only intentional.
Tian and Austin were an absolute dream to work with. Kind, gracious, and genuinely appreciative, they made the entire planning process collaborative and meaningful. Their wedding was emotionally rich, filled with warmth, laughter, and love that radiated throughout the celebration. This perfectly captures what we love most about planning: creating a space where timeless design meets authentic connection.

This wedding will forever live rent-free in my heart. It was a Full-Planning journey, which meant I worked side-by-side with Paulina and Adrian from day one. They came bursting with ideas, big energy and big visions, and together we shaped those sparks into thoughtful, intentional moments that felt so them. The day itself was pure magic, overflowing with love, emotion, and style, set against one of my all-time favourite venues, One King West. A dream team, a dream space, a dream day.

I loved this wedding for so many reasons, especially because it was the gallery’s first full-scale wedding, which let us showcase the beautiful art already part of the space. The colour palette was inspired by red and green grapes and the colours in the grape vines, creating rich contrasts throughout. We used both floors of the gallery: the ground floor for the ceremony and cocktails, upstairs for dinner, and back downstairs for dancing. The hanging florals felt like their own art installations, perfectly fitting the venue, and a live artist captured guests as they arrived. Personal touches included a cake made by the couple’s cousin and custom napkins featuring their dog, Lucy.
The overall aesthetic was warm and tactile, with twinkling candles, wood textures, velvet napkins, brown-toned glassware, fruit accents, lush florals, and cane-back chairs. Since food was a priority, the menu featured elevated dishes to match the couple’s refined palate.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Alex and Michelle; they were detailed and communicative while still giving me creative freedom. Truly the ideal clients!

From the very first meeting, planning Michelle and Jason’s wedding was an absolute joy. One of their biggest priorities was flowers, and it showed. Lush, romantic blooms were woven throughout the day, adding softness, colour, and an unmistakable sense of celebration that perfectly reflected their personalities. Jason also surprised everyone by performing a song he wrote just for Michelle – a tender, emotional moment that was completely authentic to who they are as a couple.
Hosting the celebration at Graydon Hall Manor brought everything together seamlessly. With its stunning setting, exceptional food, and attentive staff, it was the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, beauty, and meaningful moments. Michelle and Jason’s wedding was not just lovely – it was truly memorable and an honour to bring to life.

As a couple who work in creative production, Nikki and Scott have an uncompromising eye, and a clear understanding of what it takes to tell a story and realize a vision. Nikki and Scott were dream clients who let our creativity run wild, and blessed us with trust in our expertise. Wanting their wedding to feel art-inspired, on-trend and effortlessly chic, we designed their wedding to include many of our favourite design moments – like dramatic draping, opulent chandeliers, and unconventional table arrangements. Working with an incredible team including Beaux Florals, photographer Koko King, Toronto venue The Symes, and Eventure Designs, and of course the couple themselves, Nikki and Scott’s wedding was a standout moment in our 2025 diary!

Grace and Bayowa’s wedding was an elegant love letter to Italian romance, reimagined in the heart of Toronto and executed with quiet confidence and restraint. Designed to feel timeless rather than trendy, the celebration embraced a refined less-is-more philosophy that allowed beauty, emotion, and setting to take centre stage. Rather than overdesigning the space, every element was intentionally curated to enhance the natural surroundings and allow guests to feel fully immersed in the moment. The outdoor ceremony, framed by fresh florals and open air, offered a serene, romantic atmosphere that felt both intimate and cinematic.
As a planner, this wedding represents the pinnacle of intentional design and thoughtful execution. It proved that luxury does not need to be loud when vision, trust, and precision align; simplicity becomes the ultimate sophistication. Grace and Bayowa’s wedding remains one of my proudest projects and a benchmark for the kind of refined, experience-driven celebrations I love to create.

Alyssa and Quincy’s wedding was a beautiful reflection of intention and effortless style. Set at The Hare Wine Co., the design focused on simplicity – soft ivory draping, sculptural white florals, and a timeless palette of ivory, white, and black, layered with the venue’s historic red brick and warm wood elements to elevate the space without overpowering it.
What truly made the day unforgettable was the energy. From an emotional first look at the bride’s family cottage on Lake Erie to a ceremony and reception that flowed with ease, everything felt natural, joyful, and undeniably cool. The vendor team was a dream to work with, and Alyssa and Quincy brought personality and fun to every moment. Thoughtful design, beautiful weather, and incredible people made this a wedding that clicked from start to finish.
