    Wow! Amazing photos! Everything looks so beautiful!

    I know i don't live in Canda but just curious what was this venue called.  I kind of want to see more photos of the venue. Hoping they have a website that I can stalk!  haha

    These are fabulous pictures!!!  You look amazing!!  And all the colors tied in so well together, absolutely stunning! 

    As a bride planning, you picture everything in your head - but wondering it will all come together the way you envisioned it.  I'm not sure if this was it, but I hope it was ... because then you've gotten everything you ever dreamed of.

    Congratulations again, and just breath-taking!

    Hey Ladies!

    Thank you so much!

    The venue is called the wedding pavillion. It is at wwww.weddingpavillion.com. What's neat is that all my bridesmaids also came down the grand staircase. Then the doors closed, my Canon in D song started, and I decended. Everyone looked amazing! (More pics attached )

    They totally help to make your dreams come true! Everything was great, the only crappy part is that it rained , but we did manage to go outside for some quick pictures!

    We saved quite a bit of money on decor by having it here, since many of the upgraded linen and napkin options are available at a cheaper cost. One of the best tips I had was from my decorator, who told me just to use an accent table cloth on the cake table instead of paying for costly cake designs! So true, you can have a simple cake that way :)

    I did black and white damask with gold accents. I went and saw that the venue was a gold colour so I decided to match it :)

    One of my favourite aspects of the day would have to be the kissing box. In the last photo I've attached you can see the little flower girls putting money into it. In lieu of "tapping the glass" for us to kiss, we had a kissing box which took donations for the Heart and Stroke foudation of Canada. We raised over $200 in memory of my uncle who recently passed of a heart condition.

    I went a little damask crazy, but it turned out well in the end. I especially loved our seating chart, and photobooth logo!

    Thanks again ladies - best wishes planning the BEST day of your life!!

    I added straps to mine and this isn't a professional picture. It was the first one that I found that shows the dress really well. And the shrug is because we stood at the door for about 4 minutes because the CD decided to stop working right before I was supposed to walk in :-) I shrugged it off and someone caught it on camera.

    You are a braver woman than I am.  I'm such a klutz; I would have been worried about falling down the stairs the entire time!
