Real Wedding | Melissa + Marc

Victoria Cameron - Thursday, December 22, 2011

Earlier this year one of the most lovable couples tied the knot. To date, it's still one of my personal favourites, not only because Melissa and Marc had a wedding filled with warmth and laughter (and let's not forget the gorgeous details) but because after months of planning I was able to see two of my friends bubbling over with love and happiness.

      

Melissa and Marc decided to give each other gifts on their wedding day which were exchanged by one of the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Melissa's beautiful bouquet was created by Roberta from Green and Bloom and consisted of large and small headed blooms such as roses, spray roses, sim carnations, double tulips and hyacinths in shades of whites, creams and pink resulting in all kinds of gorgeousness.

One of my favourite sequences of wedding photos...ever. It's perfect from start to finish with Melissa peeking around the corner and the relief that so clearly washes over Marc as he sees his bride for the first time.

      

      

      

Married riverside by candlelight at dusk, Melissa and Marc's guests were ushered to their black tiffany chairs adorned with clusters of fuschia carnations while a string quartet set the tone for the ceremony.

      

Following cocktails and canapes, the celebrations continued at Tempo Restaurant. Black and white striped table runners topped with full and soft florals in shades of pink and white dressed the tables with the abundance of candles and a pink colour wash further enhancing the atmosphere.

      

      

Seriously delicious bride and groom cookies provided the finishing touch at the individual settings...extra's tucked in the napkins for the newlyweds of course!

A white gloss dance floor had plenty of wear and tear as did the always popular photo booth while the decadent all-chocolate dessert bar was thoroughly enjoyed by all...we're talking chocolate mousse, chocolate pavlovas, chocolate tarts, chocolate fudge brownies just to name a few...YUM!

 Congratulations Melissa and Marc!

Marchesa Fall 2012

Victoria Cameron - Friday, December 16, 2011

Keeping with the latest bridal fashions, as promised here are our highlights of the Fall 2012 Marchesa collection...there were a few problems in regards to only picking a few so the towel was thrown in and a separate post created!

Let's be honest though, who doesn't love a Marchesa gown? They always compliment the female figure and the layers of tuelle, chiffon or feathers make them "other-wordly" creations.

     

     

     

     

     

Recently featured in Martha Stewart Weddings' "Icons of the Aisle" feature, designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig provide brides with the following advice: "When choosing a gown, go with something that highlights the features you like most. If you don't feel completely comfortable, you are simply not going to look your best".

Follow their advice and of course wear a Marchesa gown and you can't go wrong!
