Hello everyone! The weather is gorgeous outside (we'll just ignore the promise of rain to come!), Montreal is full of life and the celebration of love by its inhabitants is (as always) in full swing. Congratulations from the bottom of our hearts go to
our dear friend Zinea and her sweet husband Masoom, as well as to charming
Johanne and Robert, who promised to love and honor each other to the end of time. And we KNOW that both of these couples will cherish and treasure each other for as long as they breathe, we saw it in their eyes :) But most of you reading are probably curious as to the way these lovebirds chose to express their love via the wedding decor, right? Well, without further ado, we'll start with Johanne and Robert, whose shared passion for refined elegance and wine dictated the setting for their wedding style and colors, calling for luxurious burgundy satin as the main decor element, with lush peonies and plenty of candles to soften its regal presence and passion and create a more subtle and romantic look.
The reception took place at a hall on Marie-Victorin in St Catherine called
Des Ecluses, and we must give them an
A+ for the condition of their rooms (4 in total, all clean and modern looking with decor elements paying tribute to each of the 4 seasons the rooms are named after), the courtesy of their staff, original menu and great customer service. If you didn't pick your reception venue yet and your guest list won't go over 200, consider this wonderful and charming place, you may fall in love! And
Eric, one of the owners of Des Ecluses, is simply
too delicious of an eye candy a very nice and generous guy :P
If you plan on inviting a bit more people, say around 500 in total, we have a few nice words to say about another hall called the
Palace in Laval. The staff are very attentive and helpful, the food is delicious and in very generous portions, the linen is clean and the managers are genuinely interested in you having the time of your life. Apparently there is also no time limit to the partying so you can literally dance the night away :)
Here's a few teaser pics of their Santorini hall decorated by us for free as a wedding gift for Zinea & Masoom:
The only suggestion we can think of for the Palace admins is to
revamp their website, because
their halls look a lot nicer in reality then they do on the pictures from their website.
And here a few brief notes on our chosen decor for Zineea (she implicitly trusted us from the go to come up with a suitable theme for her wedding, since (obviously) she had a million other things to do).We tried to show the crowd of 500 what Zineea herself is all about - a very cute and pretty girl that is full of life, wonder and compassion, with an incredibly contagious smile and energy of an Energizer bunny :)
Zineea, don't ever change we are sooooo in love with you!!! So we chose a
daring and happy mix of
pink and orange organza as the main color theme and added tropical flowers (mostly orchids) in a merry mix of pink, yellow, orange and white to transform the hall into a pretty sorbet of a summer paradise. Some of her early-bird guests were actually taking pictures of the set-up even before the hall filled up to use as references for their own future weddings..Actually, we would like to thank all of Zineea's friends who helped us tie the chair sashes, you guys are awesome and we couldn't have done it without you!
Thank you again, you all rock :) And here's a little glimpse of that unforgettable summer night filled with dancing, laughter, fireworks and of course romance.
And as much as we'd love to talk about our new accessory projects, it will have to wait until the next update - we are due in St Lazare soon to set-up for another wonderful fairytale
ending beginning :P
