Last November, we were thrilled to see lovely Robyn and Dean tie the knot in the Vanity Ballroom at Le Meridien King Edward Hotel in Toronto. This beautiful day was postively Royal in ambiance - with the regal decor of the hotel, paired with dramatic purple, black and crystal accents for the florals and decor. Congrats to a stunning couple, happy 6 months anniversary you two!

Sara & Nima | A Persian Liberty Grand Wedding by Cynthia Martyn Events | lifeimages photography

11.07.23.sara.nima.0086bmshoessara-nima2bouquetssara-nimasofreh1sofreh2sofreh4sofreh3stationery-1ht1ht2room-shotcenterpiece1cakesara-nima3 This wedding from 2011 was one of my favourites from last year - such a gorgeous and gracious couple, Sara & Nima's wedding was a truly beautiful day.

The couple's wedding ceremony & reception was hosted at the Liberty Grand venue in Toronto. One of my favourite aspects of any Persian wedding is the stunning spread or "Sofreh" that is set up for the wedding ceremony. This Sofreh was spectacular! Following the ceremony, guests were invited into a beautiful champagne mocha and blush ballroom. Soft, romantic flowers and warm candlelight enhanced the room, as did blush pink uplighting all around the perimeter.

Thank you to a stellar team of professionals who contributed to such a lavish and lovely day. Congrats Sara & Nima!

Swooning for Kate Spade Style | Creative Shoot as Seen in WedLuxe Magazine

123456789

Thank you so much to WedLuxe magazine for publishing a wedding inspiration shoot I produced with an amazing team of creatives last Fall. The design was based around iconic designer Kate Spade, sophisticated and bold, but with a whimsical twist. So many fun details for this shoot - the innovative invitation design in a lucite cube by Palettera Custom Correspondences, the fun floral purse by Fuscia Designs, the bubblegum martinis, the floral frame (using one of our fave inexpensive decor items - black baroque frames from Ikea!), champagne shooters and so many more. Thanks to an amazing team for making one of my favourite designers come to life for this inspired wedding setting!
