La Dolce Vita, Inspired by Dolce & Gabbana

Leading with La Chic Soiree's remarkable "La Dolce Vita" vision, we are immediately captivated by the regal tribute to Dolce & Gabbana's 2015 collection. Her use of dramatic reds, gold and black evoke a sense of luxury and romance that sweeps us away. The table scape mimics the designer's epic collection and adds a heightened opulent vibe for a fall or winter wedding. Paired with a Badgley Mischka ball gown is an Alan Anderson emerald green tiara and necklace that takes our breath away. The red rose floral arrangements and details mirror Dolce & Gabbana's ready-to-wear collection in true chic style. Adding to this shoot is an Elizabeth Fillmore sheath gown with lace detailing, a deep V-neck and keyhole back that gives a bride's admirers a 360-degree view of ravishing beauty.

Chic and Edgy with Ines Di Santo

A modern table scape fashioned to be chic and edgy, steers away from traditional décor. With added touches like handmade leather flowers, custom printed vases and chairs, La Chic Soiree uses black as a bold and untraditional touch that modern day brides are embracing. Being from Toronto, a metropolitan city, modern and clean lined weddings are sought after. Using a dark and timeless accent color, such as black, brings a classic sophistication for brides breaking the norm. Adding pops of color like purple and fuchsia with the metallic silver will create a vibrant statement that enhances the overall look. We adore how Cakealicious by Reem incorporated the silver metallic touches into the array of fine sweets on the dessert table.

Ines Di Santo, who launched her designs in Toronto in 1984, is known for giving each of her gowns a personal touch. The style here is a focal point with its ultra feminine feel that effortlessly fits the bride. Subtle embellishment detail at the skirt and bodice accentuate the modified mermaid silhouette and billowing train. You can see Ines Di Santo's entire collection in our LookBook.

Boho Chic in Blush Tone Refinement

Soft muted tones of cream, pale pinks and blush combined with hints of lavender and sprigs of greenery are still on trend for brides planning their wedding color scheme. These fresh highlights, paired with a different and equally stunning Ines Di Santo gown, fuses a boho chic vibe for the indoors during the cooler months. The bridal bouquet incorporates hydrangeas, lavender and peach stocks, O'Hara garden roses, Sahara pearl and pink roses, jasmine leaves and seeded eucalyptus for a textured variation by Royal Orchid Florist. To perfect the bohemian lux look, brides are adding elements like cascading floral chandeliers, floral walls and ceilings and personalized patterned dance floors. Keep in mind that floral is no longer limited to tables and bouquets, decorating various mediums are a look we adore!

The Sweetest Touch of Stripes & Sequins

The use of individual mini cakes adorned in black stripes and iced in pink sugary deliciousness makes this styled shoot one to gush over. Classy blush sequined linens dazzle under the gold-rimmed accents of charges and glassware for this elegant table scape. Stripes are very versatile and an on-trend look for the upcoming wedding season. Brides are not only using them in nautical themed weddings, but to create a high contrast and to take a formal wedding up a design notch. The lush and muted tone floral arrangements in solid black vases compliment the bold black and white accents without being too dominate, giving just the right touch of modern flare. The dessert table by The Cocoa Cakery is simply over the top with fabulous ideas and goodies for guests.
