Fall in love with this candle-lit wedding in Toronto

Fall in love with this candle-lit dark & moody wedding in Toronto

Rachelle and Jon had a “let’s make it happen” wedding that we LOVE. Post first look meal break? Let’s make it happen. Moody portraits in the chapel? Let’s make it happen. We are extra glad for that last one. The Addams Family original score played during the processional and it was all about a dark and moody lovefest.

Don’t miss Rachelle’s glam headpiece over her short pixie cut and Jon’s amazing tartan suit. This moody wedding in Toronto is making our lives…

We got super lucky and stumbled upon Glass Cannons via this wedding we featured. I basically went googly-eyed when I spied the etched glasses paying homage to their favorite fandoms (read: Magic the Gathering!).

They’ve got toasting flutes, shot glasses, and quirky drinkware galore. And if you have an idea in mind for glasses that mach your wedding theme, they’ll absolutely do a custom set for you…

DIY floral hoop backdrop

Lush florals go ring-shaped with this DIY floral hoop backdrop

I love a good hoop bouquet, but those handy floral hoops can be used for more than just a great alternative bouquet. I’ve created a series of hoops flowing with greenery and flora that can be used a wedding ceremony backdrop, reception decor, or even a place card holder.

With this DIY floral hoop backdrop, you can add as many floral picks as you like to make it as lush as you can imagine. Artificial flowers let you create a backdrop that can go from wedding to living room permanently. It’s the beauty of realistic artificial flowers!

Two stunning grooms at this Cowley Manor wedding

We aren’t often privy to the speeches and vows at weddings (mostly photos around here!), but when we are, we have to be prepared to be blown away. And in the case of these two gorgeous grooms and their Cowley Manor wedding in the UK, it was just masses of tears.

Both of them slayed their vows and speeches (both funny and sweet as hell!), and YOU get to see it, too!
