2016 WedLuxe Experience

They say it is the most glamorous, most elegant and most over-the-top bridal show in Toronto... and they are right!  The second we stepped into the Carlu on February 9th for the WedLuxe media preview, we were welcomed with an enormous arch of lemon trees leading the way to the entrance of the show and to the start of the hunt to discover hundred of wedding vendors.

The theme of this year's show revolved around La Dolce Vita: Good food, romantic vibe, art pieces made out of sugar and delicate jewelry and dresses were present à la Italiana!

Fall Wedding Beauty trends

Hot summer months are quickly coming to an end, but wedding season continues strong, now welcoming warmer, rustic and romantic Autumn weddings. As a fall bride myself, I have an infinite love for this season and it's vibrant colours.

A few months ago, I was invited to an amazing fall beauty preview hosted by the talented Blush Pretty team, where they presented their Fall/Winter 2015 hair & makeup creations for brides.
Here are some of my favourite looks.

Ilsée + Jesse | Real Wedding

A rustic chic wedding in Sacacomie,Qc.

---

A year ago, my dear friends Ilsée and Jesse, from Montreal, were tying the knot in front of one of the most majestuous backdrops Quebec can offer: Sacacomie. It is on a rustic wooden terrace overlooking luscious mountains and the grandiose Sacacomie lakes that the couple said 'I do'. Maybe it's because they are high school sweethearts, or maybe it's the breathtaking views of Sacacomie, one thing is sure, we couldn't help but shed a tear at the sight of these two love birds exchanging their heartfelt wedding vows on this magnificent day!

Ilsee and Jesse's rustic chic wedding was as sweet as it gets. The couple chose a lovely palette of peach and grey as their wedding colors and integrated some personalized DIY projects into their day: Welcome table frames, Peach marmalade as wedding favors, custom bracelets for the bridesmaids and finally the names of each of their tables was the word 'LOVE' in all the languages spoken by their wedding guests, which they engraved into little cedar signs to go with their rustic theme. 

On their 1 year anniversary, I wish Ilsée and Jesse a life filled with peachy moments and lovely adventures. May you always look back at this day and say: 'I love you more today than yesterday'.
Happy Anniversary!
Love, Bella xox
