Nicole & Michael

Simplicity, elegance, and glamour are only a few of the words used to describe Nicole and Michael’s wedding on September 26, 2009 . By having both the ceremony and the reception at the Millenium Centre, an intimate scene was set. Rows of floating candles lined the head table and the marble bar that surrouned the dancefloor. The reception began with Nicole and Michael’s first dance, and continued with savory food, great conversation and a lot of dancing. Nicole through her bouquet from the second floor window, and who was lucky enough to catch it? One of her flower girls!

Spring Inspirations

Spring is in the air and the count down to green grass and sunny skies has begun!

Yellows, creams, corals and greens are huge this spring and are being showcased in weddings everywhere. Whether it be the decor, the flowers, the dresses or the cake, these colors have become a staple for Spring 2010 weddings.

Take a look at the photos below and allow yourself to be inspired!

The Wonderful Wedding Show

This weekend we were exhibitors at The Wonderful Wedding Show and it was a blast.  It was so great to see our current brides, meet some new brides and even catch up with some of our past brides.  We met some awesome brides for 2010, 2011 and 2012 and can’t wait to get started working with them.  Thank you to everyone that came out to the show it was a great success!

As we all know it takes a team of great people to pull this show together and our booth would not have been the same without Little Flower Shop, Planned Perfectly and Platinum Promotions, so thank you to all of you.  Also, a big thank you to all the photographers who stopped by to take photos of our display for us.  This year our booth was located next to Rebecca Croft Photography and here are some of the images she captured for us.

Marina & Wade

On December 18th Soirée had the pleasure of providing full service planning for Marina and Wade’s wedding. They were a wonderful couple to work with and we pulled out all the stops for them. Marina is originally from Russia and we worked very hard to ensure that her heritage was seemlessly blended into Wade’s Canadian heritage. Marina had dreamed of a fairytale wedding and that’s exactly what she got. She left the details to us and on the day of her wedding she was thrilled with the outcome.

The wedding had a theme made up of branches and crystals which originally came from the invite design.  McDiarmid Flowers did a beautiful job of continuing the theme!
