How to Plan a Cocktail Style Wedding Reception
I thought I’d do something a bit differently on the blog today — at the same time as showcasing one of our recent weddings, I’ve also included some wisdom from the planner, Andrea at Soiree Event Planning! Scroll down a bit to see her Top 3 Tips for Planning a Cocktail Style Wedding Reception.
Kendall and Dylan’s wedding was my first time working at The Leaf, and I was so excited to see the room completely transformed from its corporate feeling natural state. It was a long day of setup, with a lot of logistics, but it looked so good!
Warm Fall Wedding at Hawthorn Estates
I love a good fall wedding. I’m more of a summer girl myself, but there’s something about those warm, rich fall tones and the coziness than feels just right (even if it’s still 30 celcius out!).
So, Kelsie and Nick’s wedding was actually right at the very end of August, but nevertheless we dug right into the warm autumnal tones and added in some rich pink hues that played so nicely off the orange bridesmaid dresses.
Luxurious Fall Wedding at Canadian Museum for Human Rights
Modern, luxurious, and sleek were the words Soiree Event Planning used to describe what they envisioned for Michelle and Adam’s late October wedding. With it taking place at The Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the setting created the perfect moody ambiance to carry it all off.
Cozy Cottage Core Vibes for Nicole and Justin
Nicole and Justin’s wedding was one of the first of my wedding season and it was such a joyful day (also frickin hot). They hosted a small group of loved ones at her family cottage, just over the Manitoba/Ontario border.
With Emily from Feast & Festivities at the helm, the cozy cottage vibes were personal, cheerful, and relaxed.
And, of course, Nicole was immaculate ✨ From her custom gown to her henna, everything about her style was perfection.
Natasha’s style is obviously impeccable, and she came into the planning with a Spanish-inspired vision. The colour palette? Perfect. Her dresses? Breathtaking. The ceremony arch? One of my absolute faves.
Dreamy Pastel Wedding Editorial
I was so happy to be part of this dreamy pastel wedding editorial this past January, with Kayla Lagos Events. Kayla presented a gorgeous vision for a soft, delicate palette, featuring fluttery and whimsical flowers.
It’s always fun to get creative during the off season. I don’t usually have many winter weddings, so it’s a different set of flowers, palettes, and inspiration to work through and I really enjoyed this!
