I don't know about you, but I'm always on the hunt for appetizers that are not only easy to whip up, but look lovely to boot (I'm all about the pretty my dears!) I'm thinking that Wiley Valentine's guest and fellow foodie Reenie's farmers market inspired recipe for chilled fresh pea soup is just the ticket. It's bold, it's colourful, and I'm confident it would be a sure crowd pleaser. Photography: ...
As much as I LOVE it, I've never truly been able to pull off the whole boho look. There's something about me in tribal print or flowy skirt that just feels awkward. So instead, I like to live vicariously through weddings like this one from Joielala. It's boho done right, and set in one of the prettiest backyards you've probably ever seen. Oh, and in case you find yourself in the same boat as me, you can freely embrace your...
Chances are you've heard the term "Food Revolution" in the past. It's a wonderful endeavour geared towards improving North Americans' health and eating habits. I secretly love the entire notion, and am smitten with the fact that Nili Stevens & Wiley Valentine have taken the idea and transformed it into a pot luck dinner for all of their friends. Captured by...

I've professed my love for Chicago weddings a time or two on this blog, but I don't think I'll stop any time soon. Mostly when I come across a wedding like this one at The Drake. It's the definition of Chicago chic, and the exact reason why I will never tire of weddings in the windy city. It's filled to the brim with gorgeous florals from ...
When a crazy talented bride crafts a rustic meets romantic wedding set against a gorgeous Winnipeg backdrop, awesome things happen.

It makes for one seriously amazing gallery. ...

From the beautiful bride... We met at a bar in Chicago...
As someone who is completely obsessed with all things British (obsessed is an understatement), London weddings are pretty much my favorite thing ever. So when a sweet set of English nuptials comes my way, I consider it a reason for a serious celebration. Especially when that sweet set of nuptials includes a crazy cool vintage theme, an amazing Loft Studios backdrop and a stunning ...

Add gorgeous florals from ...
As I was flipping through every gorgeous image (is that light insane or what?) from Krista Lee Photography, I fell in love with the love. The love that brought about a wedding so spectacular from Cedarwood Weddings. When I read the couple's story, it only solidified what I already knew... these two are something special.
It's the time of the year when tomatoes are perfeclty sweet, juicy and fragant. In other words, the perfect time to fill up your home made ketchup and sauce stocks! If you feel like experimenting or just would like to impress your guests, then this fluffly and intense tomato mousse topped with the vibrant green basil crumble might be just the ticket!
No so long ago I studied abroad in little ol' Italy. AKA, the place where travel dreams come true. And while I was technically there to study art history, more often than not I found myself daydreaming over what a magical wedding locale this could be. But you know what? This wedding has blown even my wildest dream right out of the water. It's something straight from a fairytale made all the more magical through...
I'm a long time member of the Kay English fan club, and the picture perfect images below are a fabulous example of why. The light and the love of this session is captured so beautifully, I can't even imagine how excited this couple must have been when they first opened this collection of images, because if it was anything like my reaction to this...
The list of reasons I love bridal sessions is a long one, but one look at this sweet sesh captured by Jennifer Blair Photography and there's one simple reason standing tall and proud above the rest. They're gorgeous. The kind of gorgeous that makes you stop everything you're doing (and I mean everything) to soak it all in. And when it's a breathtaking day set against the stunning ...
Being an East Coaster has its perks. Things like the most perfect Fall weather, cobble stone streets at every turn and wicked good chowda. But one thing Boston isn't boasting is a pretty little desert getaway like Palm Springs and boy oh boy do I miss that gem. But even if you're thousands of miles away like I currently am, a grip of crazy talented vendors are bringing it all to your living room. With imagery by ...
SMPers, remember this little giveaway we announced back in June? Well hold onto your seats, my dears, because...
If your Facebook newsfeed is anything like mine, everyone and their mothers seems to either be getting married, or expecting a new little bundle of love. Not having kids of my own as of yet, I always find it difficult to come up with really wonderful gifts that I know my expecting friends will love and actually use. So, for all of you who happen to be in the same boat, I've taken the liberty to poll some of my favourite mama's and mama's-to-be to find out their must-haves when...
Mark my words, this wedding could slap a smile on anyone's face. It's just that pretty. Crafted in the hands of Bells and Whistles, every last detail sings a coastal chic song and Beach Productions captured it all in perfect fashion. Pay a little visit to ...
