Real Wedding: Margaret and Yancy, III
Today’s first real wedding must have been kismet. In my sleep deprived state (thanks to a teething baby), I totally forgot that it was St. Patrick’s Day! And for an Irish girl to forget about St. Patty’s, she better have a good excuse. Well, the Irish gods are shining because today’s gorgeous wedding is all about the green. The FABULOUS, fabulous green.
I have to admit, it was the reception that really sold me on featuring this affair. It literally made me throw my hands up in the air with a resounding “YES” that made my daughter jump, then look at me like I was a little crazy. But honestly, it’s weddings like this one…details like these…that make my job so much fun.

From the lovely bride, Margaret…
The reception was held at The Rosewater Room. The space itself has a beautiful entrance, huge windows which let in so much natural light, and in the evening the glow of the city. It was elegant, yet modern, urban yet warm, just perfect. I cannot say enough about this venue, and would book it again in a heartbeat. It was a bit of a splurge for us, but completely worth it.
The cake was done by Dufflet and, well to be honest…after three tastings…[just to be sure wink wink] we were certain that Dufflet was delish!
Margarite from Nice Stems was our florist. All I can say is AMAZING! We had an idea of what we wanted as far as centerpieces, but were open to suggestions, and once I told her what our venue was she began sketching and had me sold. She designed for us exactly what we wanted but could not describe. The floral designs were gorgeous, and affordable, when we mentioned a budget she did not go over it, and did as much as she could with what we had to work with. All of our guests loved the centerpieces, and Yancy and I could not have been more happy with her service and design skills. She is fantastic!
More on the way!
Love the centerpieces. Love the invites/menu design. Awsome. Can't wait for more pics !
More and more gorgeousness... Thanks, Abby for posting this wedding. I'm from Toronto and I LOVE Dufflet cakes. This wedding cake must have tasted as good as it looks!
I am having my reception there this coming October. Are there any tips you can give me about the venue? Good apt choices, bad entrees etc....
Thanks
Jennifer
Can you tell me where you got the table number holders? This is a very beautiful wedding!
I Love love love the centerpieces. I may call my florist now and change mine to something similar.
Also - would love to know where you got the menu card holders - I am looking for exactly that to hold my escort cards.
Very excited to see a Toronto wedding and Toronto vendors showcased! The wedding looks gorgeous! I'm also using Margarite from Nice Stems and I am so happy to have her! She did a beautiful job! I love everything!
And Meghan I'm pretty sure those menu card holders came from Dollarama (a dollar store in Toronto).
actually, I just saw a better picture of those card holders, they definately came from Dollarama - I used the exact same ones for my bridal shower!

Julia,
You will not be disappointed with Margarite from Nice Stems, she is truly a talented floral designer.
Bonnie,
The cake tasted great - I love Dufflet as well!
Your centerpieces are truly stunning, and I hate to ask but, what was your flower budget?
Sera, thanks...the budget for flowers was under 2000$ CDN.
