Flower Lesson: Gloriosa Lily
I think we all need to know more about flowers, since they are so beautiful and used to celebrate so many eventful moments in our lives. I'm starting the post with one of my fav's...the Gloriosa Lily. Gloriosa is typically from Africa and India and climb or scramble over other plants with the aid of tendrils at the ends of their leaves. They can reach 3 meters in height. The Gloriosa is also the national flower of Zimbabwe.

Real Life Wedding - Natasha & Matt - Part 2
Natasha & Matt married December 20, 2008
It seems like so long ago, but I finally have a small clip of Natasha & Matt's wedding. This wedding was a year and a half in the making and was literally perfect. It's a winter wedding so don't get to cold watching it...just walk outside and feel the sun. Perhaps the clip will cool you down from the hot summer heat in Toronto!

Real Life Wedding ~ Emma & Pier
Emma & Pier married June 20, 2009
This super hot couple got married on a not so sunny day, but the spectacular flowers and decor made it hottt!!! Emma was really great to work with and always took my suggestions and unique ideas with excitement. Emma's mom called me yesterday afternoon to thank me and my team for all of our hard work and made it a point to let me know that we were amazing. It really is a group effort in making these weddings a success!
Thank you to the Fairytale Events team! : )

Real Life Wedding ~ Roseanne & Jonald
Roseanne and Jonald married June 6, 2009
Fairytale Events to the Rescue!!!
With their beautiful 'little bride' Paula (their daughter), Roseanne and Jonald shared a memorable day...not to mention experience. What I mean by this is, Roseanne and Jonald hired a florist that bailed on them 3 days before the wedding. How un-professional!!! Roseanne, who had hired me to organize the 'day-only' activites, called me almost in tears. I immediately took charge of the situation and assured her that it will be taken care of. I called Rainflower Company and we put together a plan to save the day. Considering we had literally 2 working days to put this together, we came up with a really great last minute ambience with the flowers that Mirella could find at the wholesaler...I made sure she used my favourite flower the 'gloriosa lily', which no one ever uses in wedding arrangements. I think they look amazing and add that spark of fuschia to the mix, which is exactly what the couple was looking for. Please read Roseanne's testimonial on the accolades section of www.fairytaleevents.ca.

Real Life Wedding ~ Gail & Shawn
Gail and Shawn married April 18, 2009
My Girl Gail!!!
I was so excited when my girlfriend from University, found out that I was a wedding planner and decided to hire me to finalize her wedding plans. Gail and Shawn are so cute together...as you can see in the slide show below! Gail being an event planner herself, like all great event planners, she is meticulous. Just like me...I'm a perfectionist! I sometimes think I'm crazy, I did her receiving table 3 times, just because I wanted it to look perfect. To finalize the look I created new arrangements for the receiving table from the pew flowers. Yes, that's right...I'm a wanna be florist! I know Gail and Shawn were extremely happy with the work that we put into their wedding, because now I am excited to be planning her little sister Patty and Lawrence's wedding next year. Something to look forward to... a secret theme!
Hope you enjoy the slide show provided by Kevin Lam Photography. He was a pleasure to work with, very accommodating, and even showed up at rehearsal to scope out the best spots in the church. Thanks Kevin for making this day beautiful for Gail and Shawn!
