Mint to be – Intimate Farm Wedding

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

This week’s wedding inspiration comes to you from Fusion Events Certified Wedding Planner, Jessie Huang, WPICC.

If you are a shopaholic like me, you have probably noticed, MINT, is one of the most popular colors for this year. I love mint because this color has such a fresh and vibrant hue. For couples who are not afraid to step out of their color safety zones, why not consider hosting a fashion forward minty wedding!

The ambiance of this wedding is casual, intimate and nature inspired. I chose the ceremony and reception venue at a beautiful farm where the couple and their guests can get away from the busy city life.

The bride is dressed in an elegant ivory lace gown complemented by an off white rose bouquet with mint accents. She will arrive at the ceremony in a vintage wedding car painted in bright mint. The groom and groomsmen are dressed in light earth tone linen suits. The groom stands out with a white tie and a mint rose boutonniere among groomsmen in mint ties and white rose boutonnieres.

During the cocktail hour, guests will mingle at the backyard of the farm, provided with freshly squeezed mint lemonade and Stacked Tomatoes & Buffalo Mozzarella and Artichoke & Spinach Dip. The catering would be all organic from local farmers. To be more creative with the resources, freshly picked green apples are used as seating cards for the reception! If you can’t resist the freshness of the apple, feel free to have a bite.

The wedding reception is held outdoor and begins just when the sun is about to set. Tables are decorated with flowers and tea lights, and plates are arranged neatly with bags of favours placed on top. Each favour consists of a personalized mint tin with “Mint to Be” printed on the package! The dinner is plated with the choice of local organic Filet Mignon or free range Cornish Game Hen paired with local vintages. To sweeten up the night, a dessert table filled with chocolate truffles, brownie bites, and mini macaroons in mason jars of various colors will impress your guests and add a whimsical touch to the decor.

This color theme will definitely show off your fun and creative side and make a statement on your wedding day! In love with this wedding idea? Feel free to contact one of our Toronto wedding planners and we will make your big day flawless and unforgettable!

Middle Eastern Wedding Toronto – Golden Petals Decor Theme

Monday, March 12th, 2012

This weeks wedding inspiration comes to you from Fusion Events very own Certified Wedding Consultant, Dana Mattar, WPICC.

My inspiration for the “Golden Petals” theme was “East meets West”. As a wedding planner I enjoy fusing cultural themes together, and in this case I added some Middle Eastern flavor with some of the Western culture. I incorporated the Middle East through the colors and the grandness of the venue and the decor, yet kept it very Western and modern by using contemporary furniture. I used two bold colors, orange and purple, to create a grand and rich feel.

The Ceremony would be held outdoors under a tent with orange flowers hanging from the ceiling, and purple petals along the aisle. After the ceremony, guests will then go to the terrace right outside the reception space for cocktails and Middle Eastern finger foods, where they will listen to the sounds of the Middle Eastern Sitar and Tabla. The cocktail space is adorned with lots of purple and gold candles.

The guests make their way into the reception space, as they wait for the Bride and Groom to make their grand entrance. The reception space is bold and filled with bright colours such as purple, orange, and gold. For dinner, there are different food stations such as the salad station, Middle Eastern station, the fish and sea food bar, children’s station, the carving station, the dessert station, and the espresso bar.

This theme is definitely for the couple who is willing to be bold and take a risk with this dramatic color combination and setting, yet still likes to keep it classy and sophisticated.

Toronto Wedding Venue – Casa Loma – Black Lace Inspiration Board

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

This weeks wedding inspiration comes to you from Fusion Events very own Certified Wedding Consultant, Dana Mattar, WPICC.

My inspiration for this board was, as you can tell, lace! I love lace, I think it is so classy and elegant. It gives a vintage feel, which I also love.

I chose to use black lace to add a bit of an edge and make the setting a little less traditional.

From the aisle runner, to the flowers, to the bride’s dress, everything is traditional with a major twist.
I chose to have the ceremony and the reception at Toronto Wedding Venue, Casa Loma Castle because it exudes a sort of mysteriousness and darkness, especially at night. The ceremony will be held in the beautiful Conservatory of the Casa Loma Castle as the sun is setting. After the ceremony, the guests will then proceed to the Garden Terrace, where they will be served cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. As for the reception, it will take place in the Library. This room is the focal point of the castle.

This theme is for the couple with an edge and is not afraid to experiment with the colour black for their wedding day!

Toronto Wedding Planners – Rustic Elegance Inspiration Board

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

This weeks wedding inspiration comes to you from Fusion Events very own Certified Wedding Consultant, Dana Mattar, WPICC.

My inspiration for this board was a Rustic Vintage kind of elegance. There is something about a rustic vibe that I personally find very romantic (if it is pulled off well, of course).

The ceremony would be held outdoors at dusk under the open sky. Guests would be greeted upon arrival by gloved servers with signature cocktails for a short pre-ceremony cocktail reception. The ceremony itself would be held under a tree with gorgeous off-white kissing balls, and lanterns hanging form the tree. The aisle would be heavily adorned with candles and branches to give it that rustic feel.

The reception is held indoors in a barn. An antique window is used as seating plan. To add the to the vintage element a special table would be set up and decorated for the guestbook. An antique desk with pictures of the bride and groom in vintage frames will be set up at the entrance to the barn. On the desk a vintage typewriter where guests can type their messages to the newly married couple. A projection on the side of the barn of the couples favourite black and white movie would be playing throughout the evening.

The decor is very simple, yet says a lot by using its simplicity to portray a romantic feel. Custom draping would accent the vaulted ceilings of the barn which would be further accented by using soft up lighting. There would be accents of green and pastels to add dimension against the champagnes and off whites of the Brides dress and general decor.

This theme is for the couple who likes simplicity to speak for itself, and who wants everybody in the room to feel the romance and the love in a truly unique and classical setting.

Toronto Wedding Planner – Winter Wedding Inspiration Board

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

This weeks wedding inspiration comes to you from Fusion Events very own Certified Wedding Consultant, Dana Mattar, WPICC.

My inspiration for this was definitely ice and bling. There is something about those two elements together that make a room look so regal. To enhance the ice and the crystals, I added blue lighting to the room to give it that cool icy feel. The ceremony site is very “fairy tale” like with the blue lighting, the white furniture, the white branches creating a cave like feel, and the long aisle. The reception site has a very similar feel, with the long dinner tables and the “kissing ball” flowers hanging from the ceiling. It is a formal sit down dinner with one butler assigned to every 3-5 guests. Almost everything is encrusted with crystals from the cake, to the bridal bouquet, to the flower girl and bridesmaids dresses. I added a full Ice Bar for that extra “wow” factor which will be sure to impress all of the guests. It is something different and unique and everyone will enjoy it. This is definitely a formal wedding and is for the couple who is willing to pull out all the stops to impress a crowd.
