Hello! I am dying from exhaustion. Literally, wedding season hasn’t even officially kicked off yet, and I am already dreaming of my vacation in the fall… If I make til then. But then I get a phone call from someone like this bride, and my day instantly brightens up… Let’s call her B. B is Indian. So is her fiance. She is also young, vibrant, full of energy, and totally adorable. She is also the same sign as I am, so this might be playing a bit into why we get along so well. But most importantly, B and her man are planning a wild, over-the-top, totally cool big fat Indian wedding. I am holding myself back from inserting tons of {!!!!!!!!!!!!} after each sentence. ...

Hello, hello! I have a confession to make: I really hate this season! It’s April, and no one is getting married. I mean, no one’s getting married yet. This is pure torture.

So, I’ve decided I’ll scratch the itch by sharing with you a couple of ...

I spent a good portion of today in a rental showroom, and my mind is a-buzz with the endless possibilities of color combination and fabric overlays. Which reminded me: I am designing a wedding for a bride whose colors are peach and chocolate. Now, I’m usually not a brown kinda gal, but this combo is just delicious! What do you think? xoxo

white out

Good afternoon! The skies are white today in Montreal. It’s a very specific thing, you see. I’ve traveled quite a lot, and I’ve never seen white skies like we get them in Canada. They’re almost transparent, milky-white, full of light, and quite cold and gloomy. And so, as I was sitting at my desk and working the day away, this white sky got me thinking about white weddings. Weddings used to be all about white. The bride was “pure”, the dress was virginal, the tables and flowers were white as well. Then someone came along, and said “hey, what’s wrong with color?” Now, I spend long hours debating with brides over colors, over the perfect shade of pink or blue, over just the right way ...
