Yesterday, Friday July 10, I had the honour of Coordinating the wedding of Liz & Derrick at Miller Lash House on the University of Toronto's Scarborough Campus. The bride had a vision of Miami Chic for her big day and decided to just go for it... my kinda girl!
The ceremony was a beauty with large vases on pillars filled with peony, spider mums and branches, orchids hanging from the arbour and rose petals all over the beautiful aisle. Guests were greeted with pink fans to match the bride's colours, bubbles and tissue for the emotional. The ceremony included both touching moments (sand ceremony for the couple and groom's son) and Jewish traditions for the Bride's family (breaking of the glass - Mazel Tov!).
Liz & Derrick beamed during the day with love and laughter. They were surrounded by those closest to them and couldn't have been happier. Together with the Groom's son they were the vision of a perfect family. It was a delight to see and be part of their joy!
The reception was stunning... marshmallow satin linen on square tables, Louis Ghost Chairs, triple centrepieces of white hydrangea, green spider mums, and pale pink peonies, Napkins in balmy turquoise, mokara orchids in fuschia to accent each placesetting, a custom lounge with pink and black pillows, uplighting in bright blues, a tent luxuriously draped in white with 6 chandaliers! Guests were wow'd by the setting and thrilled with the food... The couple are flavour fans and opted for having caterers, Daniel et Daniel, adding a little spice to everyone's life with spiced chicken or salmon for dinner and even small adobe spice rubs as favours for their guests!
Throughout the day the soundtrack was deejayed by the FAB-U-LOUS Michael Coombs from Prodigy Entertainment. His skills as MC warmed up the crowd and kept the party moving all night long. As always, he's a gift to clients and to Wedding Planners! Rock on Michael!
And of course, the day couldn't have been captured by anyone better than the lovely Linday Windebank from HRM Photography (photos coming soon).
A favourite piece of the couples day for me was the stunning 4-tiered wedding cake from cake diva Allyson Meredith from Allyson Meredith Cakes & the fabulous Bobbette & Belle! A masterpiece in white this cake sparkled and shone as a beautiful showpiece... and the best kind... edible and delicious showpiece!
A touching first dance, emotional parent dances and a rousing round of the Horrah capped off the evenings festivities.
In the end, the couple had the Miami Chic & Oh So Sweet wedding day of their dreams. Congratulations to the now-official family... may your love story only get better!
Mazel Tov! Cheers!
Love your Miami Chic Wedding, the arbor was beautiful.
