peaches and {chocolate} cream

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

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 ...

spring is in the air!

We already knew that this winter was particularly gentle in Montreal, but these past few days… Oh, the sun is out, temperatures are definitely above the freezing mark, the birds are chirping… It’s got me all giddy about spring, and mostly about the things that spring brings with it. My favorite flowers bloom in the spring, particularly magnolia trees and cherry blossoms. Being a city girl, I am stuck in an apartment with none of these anywhere in sight, but who can stop me from dreaming? And so I am closing off my work day tonight with an inspiration board that will, hopefully, get you thinking of spring as well. xoxo

The wedding season is around the corner, and this means that for most of my brides and grooms the where and the who are booked, and we are now getting to the fun part of actually designing the decor. For me, of course, this means countless sleepless nights pouring over millions of images, trying to translate “extraordinarily theatrical” and “intimate shabby chic” into actual concepts. And so I have a confession to make: the hardest part is actually not letting my personal taste get into the way of my clients’ visions. I’ve therefore decided to be a little bit selfish with this post, and share with you bits and pieces of what actually inspires me. I try as much as possible to think “outside the ...

oh, in the name of sweetness…

Although most of you probably don’t associate weddings with winter, I am planning a very cool affair over Valentine’s Day weekend. Jennifer and Mathieu decided to throw a very cool wedding reception with a “date night” theme, and I feel very privileged to be tagging along. The reception will be held at the Entrepots Dominion, and our color scheme is, you guessed it, red and white. The venue has a very lofty feel to it, with its high ceilings, brick walls, and big open space. We will be furnishing it with contrasting modern red and white lounge furniture, and lighting it up in shades of red and pink. For a little sneak preview, here is our inspiration board: One of the focal points of the ...
