Pink Wedding Inspiration by Cynthia Martyn Events
If you aren’t already sitting down, you’re gonna need to find a chair. This is possibly the most lovely inspiration I’ve ever seen. Seriously, I’m not even exaggerating this time. We’re talking champagne slushies (the coolest), a GORGEOUS Saja dress (who I am obsessed with) and flowers that are literally making me cry (literally). They’re just that perfect. A huge thank you to the fabulous designer behind the day, Cynthia Martyn for inspiring me more than I thought was humanly possible. You can click here to see even more swoon-worthy deets.

From Cynthia Martyn…I decided to put together a Spring photo shoot on a whim, since I had so much fun putting together an Inspiration to Reality shoot for you earlier this year. For this shoot, we assembled another great team of mostly Toronto-based wedding professionals, with Rebecca Wood Photography capturing all of our images with her amazing use of space and light. The team crafted a whimsical Spring wedding fete that was inspired by the vintage style which is so popular right now, but we wanted to pair that with more modern elements to give the look a bit of an edge. Rebecca Wood works out of a beautiful photography studio, and we were thrilled when she agreed to host our shoot in her lovely space!
One of the themes of the shoot was to bring a bit of the outside indoors, creating a garden-like atmosphere in a modern venue. Coral was our base colour, accented with lots of white and hits of darker pink and soft blush, with an eclectic mix of patterns seen in the stationery designed by Christine Flynn from Love The Design. We wanted to throw a little Viceroy Hotel into the mix, and Christine did a great job of translating the vision to the printed elements.
For florals, the lovely ladies at Stemz never cease to amaze me – they brought in Coral Peonies that were the size of dinner plates, and not only did they look luscious on the table, but Fiona Liston, the proprietress, made an amazing Peony chandelier treatment to hang over our table.
For the fashion styling, I pulled a dress from my bridal boutique (Sash & Bustle Boutique) by designer Saja Wedding (Style DU6556). I adore this collection, the soft, ethereal dresses are gorgeous, and Katie, our model / real bride getting married in less than a month, had a super fun time twirling around the studio in this pretty gown. We pinned some fluttery coral and pink hair flowers from Handle & Spout to tie in our overall colour scheme.

The cake was designed by Lori Hutchinson, also known as The Caketress. Lori is a rising star in the cake world, and her creations always leave me speechless. Lori spent hours crafting pom pom flowers and vintage gold keys all made out of sugar & icing. Amazing!
My favourite detail: we served “Champagne Slushies” in flutes with old school paper straws; a refreshing twist on your standard sparkling served at every wedding. By adding some pink lemonade to sparkling wine or champagne, a bit of crushed ice, and run through the blender for a few seconds, you create a champagne cocktail reminiscent of childhood, but can be served just as easily for a backyard bbq or a formal affair.

This is an explosion of beauty! Love the natural elements, the bountiful peaches and outstanding flower work. Color me inspired!
Oh yum! I adore all of these photos - everything from the colors to the flowers to the sweets. I could sink right into this photoshoot and relax the rest of the day.
I adore these peachy colors. They sure warm up a white room! This would make for the perfect southern bridal shower for a perfect southern peach. And the champagne slushies?!? It doesn't get any better than that!
I'm dying. This is The. Prettiest. Wedding. Ever. Thank you so much for sharing this, I am not dead set on a pink wedding!
I let out several gasps from these pictures. Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing, I now have many great ideas saved in my folder thanks to this post!
Gorgeous! Who doesn't love inspiration with big fluffy peonies!?!
Beautiful! I agree, the peonies make me swoon:)
I was having a bad Monday, and this just gave me a warm and happy glow inside. So incredibly beautiful! Thanks!
The coral peonies are gorgeous! Love the color palette!
Love it, love it! But how do guests remove the escort cards from the string?
I absolutely love this whole shoot. So colourful, dreamy and whimsical! Great job guys. I have to say that is one really GORGEOUS cake!!!
very, very, very, very well done. very.
These photos are stunning. I especially love the floral arrangements--the apricots in the wooden boxes alongside the beautiful pink florals are just beautiful. The flowers dangling from the ceiling and bursting from the trunks are gorgeous as well!
The simplicity of the decor and lushness of the peonies are AMAZING together. Definitely one of my favorites I've seen on here.
Love love love love love love it! Peonies are my ABSOLUTE favorite flowers in the world! This is sooo down my alley! Thank you so much for posting this!
Love this! Loaded with gorgeous details...so fresh and modern yet vintage all at the same time!!!

Champagne slushies. 'Nuff said. I love it.
That cake is TO DIE FOR! and I love the flowers hanging from above.
absolutely blown away by this.. STUNNING :)
Swoon!
As always, photos are great. I'm not into the floral and pink thing. A little too girly for my taste. I guess "swoon" is the word after all. Things I like though: the slushie champagne and the desserts!
GORGEOUS! I think I will have to duplicate this cake! Wow
This is amazing! I think I've died and gone to heaven and I don't want to leave!!
Cynthia Martyn is AMAZING. She is one of my most admired event designers of all time... seriously. And Sash & Bustle? Talk about cutest. boutique. ever.
Well done, Cynthia!
Anything including champagne slushies is a winner in my book. Beautiful!
I love the addition of the orange & peach tones---perfect together with the pinks! Love it!
gorgeous!
To die for!!! So exciting to see such an amazing collaboration.
This is the most gorgeous shoot ever! The peaches, pinks, and peonies are absolutely amazing!
