My Fair Lady {Bridal Style Inspiration}
Yes, Henry Higgins, the male half of the romance in My Fair Lady, is somewhat of a curmudgeon and rather clueless. And, yes, Eliza Doolittle (played by Audrey Hepburn) is charming both with her Cockney accent and without. And so we do wonder what makes her fall for Henry.
But, that’s the unexpected, magical, and nonsensical thing about love that makes it so…indescribable!

Spring Rose {Bridal Style Inspiration}
“Love planted a rose, and the world turned sweet.”
Katharine Lee Bates
An ancient symbol of love and beauty, no matter the season, roses are lovely wedding inspiration!
However, when those first buds begin to unfurl their velvety petals every Spring, we’re enchanted. Blooms of pale pink, peach and ivory seem to be in every garden, and you can’t help but smile and inhale.
So, in honor of those springtime blooms, we’re envisioning a romantic, subtly rose-inspired wedding day. One with hues of cream, blush and honeysuckle and breezy bridesmaid dresses. For the bride, a wedding gown kissed by rose-motif French Alencon lace, a mother-of-pearl hair comb, and classic, chic shoes with which to dance the night away.

Pale Pink + Black + White {Bridal Style Inspiration}
J’adore, pale pink, white and black!
Timeless, chic, and just ballerina-feeling enough to inspire a twirl, they’re a gorgeous choice of colors for a spring or summer wedding.
One with utterly feminine, fashion forward style! A lovely, fluid wedding gown with a keyhole back, a macaron tower in place of a wedding cake, bouquets tied with black lace, a striking ebony Swiss dot cage veil, and pale pink bridal booties edged in lace….C’est Magnifique!

Classic, Romantic Spring Bridal Style
Imagining a springtime wedding with notes of crocus purple and peony pink? One which gracefully captures the freshness of the season? What a coincidence – so are we!
The bride would wear that most classic bridal fabric, French Alencon lace, paired with elegant bow-bedecked heels, pearl drop earrings and a whimsical French net headpiece. During the reception, while sitting family style, laughter and the ring of wine glasses would fill the air. And, of course, there’d be dancing in a room awash in candlelight.

April Showers bring…Wedding Umbrellas!
Whoever says a rainy wedding day isn’t just as wonderful as a sunny one has got it all wrong!
Why?
Well, there’s the old adage that “a wet knot ties tighter,” more than one photographer has sworn they love the lighting, rain is romantic, potential rainbows, and….umbrellas!
Don’t believe us? See these brides and grooms singin’ in the rain below:

Red Toile Spring {Inspiration}
Spring is almost here! We can feel it!
Of course, it may be a few months before we’re throwing open our windows for good here in Toronto, but that won’t stop us from dreaming.
And, today, our dreams are of crisp, tulip-fresh red toile. Gorgeous for a marriage celebrated when daffodils, hyacinths and forsythia are just beginning to show their faces!
Imagine a gracious bride aglow in soft Chantilly lace, with a lush crimson bouquet, and lots of delicate, elegant details, like a hand-painted cake.
Mix in a bit of vivacious aqua blue, and you’ve got a palate as fabulous as that sun-scented first day of Spring!
