Greetings!
It’s been awhile since I blogged about anything and I’ve been holding onto this one for awhile. I’m so excited to finally post this...
At the beginning of the year, I got together with a great team of Kitchener-Waterloo and area-base wedding professionals all women by the way, and we put together this amazing photo shoot. Our inspiration started with a little coffee brainstorming session, where we settled on our colour palette of hot pink and mint green. We also knew we wanted something eclectic, whimsical and full of fun. Our inspiration board for a “Fun and Flirty” wedding was created.
We were lucky enough to have permission to use the amazing venue, La Hacienda Siarria in Kitchener, Ontario. It’s this renovated factory in the heart of an industrial area of town and it’s absolutely amazing. The inner hall is like a spanish courtyard and the blank slate the stone walls, floors and rustic wood and steel finishes... gives you so much to work with. The main house is stunning too. We had so much fun using the entire place for our shoot. The end result was stunning.
Thanks to Anne Edgar of Anne Edgar Photography for all the wonderful photos! Anne was amazing to work with she made setting up the shoots go smoothly and that gave us so many photos to choose from that it was a difficult task to just pick just a few...
The styling for the shoot was done by Afzia Shareef, of Style and Elegance. The table decor was an eclectic mix of custom made overlays, napkins and many candles. Giving the table an amazing finishing touch, Afzia hung paper lanterns on fishing wire above the table, creating the illusion of floating bubbles into the air.
The stationery for the shoot was created by Tracey Kestle of Little Details (that’s me). I designed a pocket fold invitation with a flirty floral design, swarovski crystals and a cute belly band to tie in all of our colours. The patterns from the invitation were carried throughout the placecards, menus, favour boxes, table numbers, and programs. I even put touches of the design on the candy labels for our the cake and sweets table.
The cake was designed by Chrissie Boon also known as Too Nice To Slice. Chrissie created a floral element on the cake that mimicked the pattern from the invitations, on the three tier wedding cake, the adorable 2 tier mini cakes. Chrissie also create the wonderful candy bar with cupcakes in cute wrappers, cake lollipops and pretzels drizzled with chocolate, everything matched the colour palette. It was really difficult not to sneak a little tasty treat.
For the florals, Wendy Ryckman of WR Designs ~ Flower Co. created super tall centerpieces with glass cylinders that were filled with ornamental grass, orchids and topped with bunches of with peonies, mums, more orchids and crystals. They looked amazing on the tables. The bouquets for the bride and bridesmaid where beautiful and filled with the same florals.
The fashion styling was done my Aimee Deriu of Bridal Depot (soon to be Valentina Bridal & Couture). Aimee pulled the dresses from the wonderful collections at her uptown boutique. I love the pattern on the wedding dress. The bridesmaid dresses came from the Dessy spring collection and matched perfectly to our theme of the day. Our beautiful models Lisa and Mandy had a great time. Aimee added some feathery hair accessories to Lisa’s updo.
Hair and Makeup by Holly. Thanks Holly the girls look great.
Thanks Ron for supplying us with music for the day and allowing us to use the house and the courtyard as the backdrop to our shoot!
Until next time ladies... you all were awesome!

Looking for Photographs!
Hi Everyone!
I just realized how little in the way of photographs we have of actual weddings from our past clients. I would really appreciate it if any of our past clients would please forward me any photos of your wedding that friends or your photographer might have taken of your paper goods. Just email any information to littledetails@rogers.com. We will certainly credit you and your photographers every time we use the photos. Thank You!

Table Numbers
I thought I'd post a picture of these cute little table numbers I created for Trisha's wedding this weekend. I hope she likes them! As I think they'll go perfect with her colour scheme and decor.
