A Great Gatsby Inspired Affair; Hart House, University of Toronto

This past May, I had the honour of planning & designing Vivian & Eugene's Great Gatsby inspired wedding at historic Hart House, University of Toronto. Hart House is a majestic space steeped in history, with a gorgeous courtyard and a grand wood-paneled Great Hall.

From the very beginning, we wanted the wedding to have the atmosphere of a fabulous party - fun for friends and family, with a nod to days long past with the grand garden parties of the Gatsby era. I don't have any professional images yet, but here are a few sneak peaks with some images I was able to snap on the big day. Congrats Vivian & Eugene!


Lovely lace wraps on the floral vases. Florals by Fuscia Designs for Cynthia Martyn Events.
Our idea for a unique table number - copies of the Great Gatsby novel, inserted with an over-sized bookmark with the table number at the top. Christine from Love The Design created all the stationery for this wedding.

Runner of hydrangea for the gallery-style head table.

That "Chapeau du Gateau" deserves a close-up!
