A little wedding update for you. What's been happening? Well, I picked a venue & paid the deposit - so that is booked! Exciting! Right now, I'm trying to find the perfect photographer - I think I have one really strong lead - but waiting to hear back on pricing. One thing I have noticed with wedding planning is that things can get really out of hand really quick with regards to costs, expectations, and wants vs. needs. I think I've been doing a great job keeping things in check and in perspective. Two really important things to focus on when planning.
We have an engagement party coming up - YEAH! That should be fun with our friends & family. My mom seems to be all over that & have it under control. She's been so great!
In other news, this past weekend I invited all my bridesmaids - except those far away to join me for my first ever wedding dress shopping experience. Honestly, the first experience was not at all what I thought it was going to be - but I am still hopeful. I will dedicate a whole post on picking a venue, photographer, and dress shopping separately - as I have a lot of advice to share when it comes to these wedding planning tasks.
Back to the bridesmaids - I am lucky to have some amazing ladies in my life and wanted to ask them to be part of my special day (year!) in a fun and unique way. I worked with an amazing jewellry shop in Toronto called Anice Jewellry where we designed custom vintage bracelets for my ladies. Each bracelet was different, but all included a pearl, swarovski crystal, silver chain, and a unique purple or white stone. On top of the bracelet I also gave them custom notebooks designed by We Create Hoopla. In each notebook I wrote a special note to all my bridesmaids & asked them to be my bridesmaids. It was such an exciting day & probably have one of the best line-up of ladies!
Thanks Delainie, Sarah, Kristen, Cass, Celeste, Allison & Christine for being the best friends a girl could ask for and giving up a year to deal with your new friend ZILLA!

Today I wanted to share the pinterest board I created for the wedding I am planning for a wonderful couple - Melissa & Kevin. They are getting married in May next year - and we had an update meeting yesterday to discuss vision, style, and next steps.
Melissa is probably one of the best brides I have ever worked with. Calm, organized, and has an amazing vision for her big day.
I'm excited to be taking part in it and can't wait to dive into all the decor and planning with them.
About the wedding:
The wedding theme is romance, urban, and soft.
The colours are whites, nudes, and a hint of grey.
The wedding will include many cultural elements from Filipino Traditions.
