Escape to an Oasis at this Toronto Rooftop Bridal Shower

On a gorgeous summer day, guests of Bianca Crignano’s Toronto Rooftop Bridal Shower escaped from the city heat to this airy oasis. From 40 floors up, this small group of Bianca’s dearest friends and family enjoyed the incredible views of the Toronto cityscape and glistening water of Lake Ontario. Away from it all, the women were able to catch up, relax, and celebrate as they watched their beloved Bianca as she basked in the beauty of the day.

This Arlington Estate Fall Wedding is as much a celebration of love as it is the season. 

Prior to Stephanie and Stephen’s Arlington Estate Fall Wedding the couple had gained a bit of a reputation for marking the seasons with romance. Take for instance one particularly memorable winter’s day. Whilst strolling through the busy crowd of Christmas market goers in Toronto’s Distillery District, Stephen stopped Stephanie (and surely some passersby) in her tracks, as he got down on one knee to propose. From that moment on their lives have been filled with a sense of occasion and ever-growing romance.

This intimate Auberge Du Pommier Wedding proves simple is beautiful 

Long before this couple’s gorgeous Auberge Du Pommier wedding, Danielle and Bill were big believers in the beauty of simplicity. More than that, they are living proof that the stars seem to better align when things are kept simple. Take the first time they met for example. That first encounter didn’t require any sort of algorithm or planning - they met by chance in a coffee shop while Bill was visiting friends in Toronto. See? Nice and simple.
