Hello Sunday!

This is Valerie, Maddy K’s public relations and publicity specialist, and I’m really excited to announce that we will be blogging LIVE from the Bridal Boudoir on Sunday December 6th @ The Opus Hotel!

This is me - enjoying the month of December. I'm a social media nerd and have been embracing all I kind find about "what's new" for a while! My passion for weddings and beauty is what makes working with Maddy K so much fun - i'll be blogging live from the Boudoir along with Jackie and Kelly!

And i’d like to introduce them to you:

Jackie is a journalism & PR student at both Concordia & McGill universities, respectively. Her weaknesses include feathered accessories, baking cupcakes and cookies (and eating them, too!), beating her boyfriend at Monopoly and over-priced designer shoes. While Jackie is not yet a bride, she can easily tell you what her dream wedding would be - this week. Jackie has two blogs that she casually maintains in between juggling school and life.

Her blogs are:

The Anecditz [ http://theanecditz.blogspot.com ]: An anecdotal blog chronicling the misadventures of Jackie - the AnecDitz - through shopping, sample sales and the like.

Craft with Jackie [ http://www.craftwithjackie.com ]: Where Fashionista meets DIY - Craft with Jackie shows how to make trendy accessories by recycling household items, all without breaking the bank.

Kelly is a born and raised Montrealer whose varying interests range from fashion to professional sports to food and wine. She studied Journalism at Concordia and Public Relations Management at McGill, and once worked for the Montreal Alouettes as Game Day Reporter for the official team website.

She is currently developping a Montreal fashion/culture/dining blogzine.

Both of our bloggers are really excited to indulge in all things weddings!

You'll be able to go to http://bridalboudoiraffair.blogspot.com/ on the day of the Affair & afterwards.

So put the link in your favourites and we'll see you then!

We've worked with Bravo for quite some time, their service and their helpful staff have always made our experience with them absolutely amazing.

Weddings can be overwhelming ...so many details, so many options...they try to make the brides feel comfortable & relaxed as they listen & try to understand the bride's vision of this very special day.

And what's more, they are the only party rental company open on the weekends which has helped the Maddy K Team once or twice!

We have had the opportunity to work closely with Bravo in many instances.

Louise Apa, of Bravo tells us about a story she remembers from last summer:

"I remember an event in June where Maddy K came in on the Saturday of the

wedding to select some linens, because the "Eco - CHIC look she wanted to achieve was not working out with the lienens supplied by the venue. Cool as a cucumber, very professional & calm, she made this last minute selection on some cotton /linette toppers that really cinched the look. It was the perfect accent and we came through for her & her client with hours to spare."

That wedding was for Rachel & Ryan and those lines really helped finish the look!

We wouldn't have our Bridal Boudoir Affair with Bravo! We can't wait for you to speak with them at the event!

Michelle Wall doesn't just make cupcakes, she creates little pieces of heaven that can be considered as wonderful pieces of art.

Clever Cupcakes is for brides who opt for the cupcakes instead of the traditional wedding cake. Clever Cupcakes specializes in creating wedding cupcake towers that are both breathtaking and unique. Michelle prides herself on working closely with both brides and grooms to ensure each cupcake tower is perfectly tailored to the couples' tastes both in appearance and flavour. Using only the finest ingredients and allowing for the highest degree of customization her goal is to not only meet but exceed all expectations.

What trend is Michelle seeing when couples are looking for cupcakes.....

"Brides have really gotten into creating custom cupcake flavours just for their weddings. We have taken this trend one step further and we will soon be offering wedding cupcakes made with the bride and groom's favourite wine!" Says Michelle.

So why choose a cupcakes over cake?

"There are many reasons to choose cupcakes over a cake. One is that wedding cakes have to be baked days before the event while our cupcakes are always baked the morning of so they are a lot fresher than cakes. With cupcakes you don't have to worry about cutting a cake or figuring out portion sizes. They are also often a more economical option. Best of all you can have your cake and cupcakes too! We offer 5" cutting cakes to top our cupcake towers!"We love Clever Cupcakes and we know all our brides will too!

ESKA Natural Spring water is one of the purest waters on earth, located in a pristine, natural setting near Saint-Mathieu d’Harricana. We are extremely thrilled that ESKA will be refreshing our brides at the Bridal Boudoir on December 6th, 2009.
Eska Water originates from an esker - a unique geological formation created nearly 8000 years ago. Snow and rain naturally filter through the esker for 15 years and then is bottled directly from the source - untouched by human hands. Refreshingly crisp and exceptionally pure ESKA Natural Spring Water sets new standards of purity and taste. Every bride attending the show will get to experience the crisp and pure taste of ESKA Natural Spring Water!

Thank you ESKA, Natural Spring Water! (brides, you'll love ESKA!!)

All brides need that extra special piece to make their extra special statement when saying "I do!" We are proud to present Montreal's Jennifer Laoun-Rubenstein Jewelry at the Bridal Boudoir and she's just as excited as us!

"I am so excited to feel the energy of being in a room full of brides who are discovering something new: Montreal’s bridal-sphere is brimming with such unbelievable talent and innovation, the full extent of which will be represented at the Bridal Boudoir." Said Jennifer when we sat down with her.

So what can you expect from the world of Jewelry?
Necklines are definitely setting the stage for some dazzling theatrics in the world of accessories.
Look-at-me neck pieces are leading into 2010 are, bold, confident and just slightly offbeat.
I’m seeing all kinds of unlikely combination: throwing raw metal against the smoothness of strung pearls and shaking up delicate layers of chain with charms on steroids. I’m also seeing cultural influences form around the globe adding serious flavor to these eccentric creations.

And when we asked her what our brides are looking for?
Something that SPARKLES! :)

Jennifer Laoun-Rubenstein Jewelry will be at the Bridal Boudoir Affair on Sunday December 6th, 2009 answering your questions and maybe even giving you some jewelry advice! We can't wait!

Keeping busy...

So finally our season has come to an end... we've been fully booked all summer and things have been really crazy for us, which is why our blog has been suffering :( We do apologize for not updating you more regularly... however we do our best on uploading our wedding albums as well as keeping everyone informed on our FB Fanpage... so if you are not a fan, make sure to join!

A quick recap of what we've been up to:

1.) We were in Vegas last week for the Engage!09 Event ... it was sooo great! Not only did we meet with so many inspiring and talented individuals from the wedding industry, but we also got to enjoy the beautiful Wynn Encore Resort which is the latest addition to the Wynn Properties!!! We've got tons of photos and will be recap-ing our experience in entries to come... so stay tuned :)

2.) We are getting ready to move into our new Loft!!! YAAAAY - we are very excited about it. Our new home will be at the Chateau St. Ambroise!!! In addition to loving the space, we will be neighbors with the very talented guys from Dom Rebel ... and since Don is getting married next year, he is very excited to be a step away from his wedding planner :)

3.) We are also very excited to be getting our loft to be decorated by the one and only Audrey from Sofa-to-go... the Maddy K Lounge will be sooo inviting once Audrey is done with it :)
Doors will be opening on November 1st... and will be having an open house once things settle down! :)

4.) Last but not least... we are so excited to be putting together the first ever Bridal Boudoir at the fabulous Koko Restaurant + Bar!!! The afternoon affair will take place on December 6, 2009 and will be the perfect venue for brides and their favorite ladies to get together, have some fun, enjoy a awe-inspiring fashion show and take home great goodies and memories!!! This affair is dedicated to Montreal brides with style, class and a lot of attitude :) I think it's time Montreal brides get a fashion show and affair that is a true reflection of who they are... as well as what Montreal women stand for!!! - We are working on the site as we speak - we will go live very shortly!

For now here are some shots of our loft! We love it... and it will look much nicer once we're done with it :)

The Montreal Bridal Boudoir Affair will be taking place on Sunday December 6th at KOKO Restaurant + Bar, 8 Sherbrooke Street West, in Montreal. The Boudoir Affair will be an entertaining afternoon event filled with Bridal Couture, gourmet food, and all things weddings. Brides-to-be will surely not want to miss this amazing event!

Maddy K and KOKO Restaurant + Bar are both excited about the Bridal Boudoir Affair. Katherine S. Evans, Vice Presedente of KOKO said that she is “thrilled to be hosting the first Bridal Boudoir Affair with Maddy K. KOKO is a natural and glamourous wedding venue, and has been host to many magical weddings already! We look forward to seeing everyone on the 6th of December, in wedding bliss! " said Evans.

But don’t expect a bridal show. The Bridal Boudoir Affair will be an afternoon event filled with entertainment, fashions, guest speakers, and a one-on-one opportunity to speak with the best wedding vendors in Montreal.

Having been to many weddings shows, founder of Maddy K Events + Weddings Atelier, Madeleine Kojakian knew brides in Montreal deserved better. “I was extremely disappointed with the quality of fashion shows at the last Montreal wedding show that I attended,” says Kojakian, “brides deserve better. It was then that I decided to host my own wedding event with a twist.” Brides attending The Bridal Boudoir Affair gain access to all of Montreal’s most sought after wedding vendors and are able to try their various services before they sign a contract. Further more, there will be couture fashion shows, entertainment, food and lots of goodies to take home.

So lately we can't get enough of Etsy. (The place to buy and sell all things handmade). And recently we've fallen head over heals for IMH Designs. They make these beautiful Clutch purses with a variety of designs, mostly florals, that are just simply amazing! As soon as I saw them, I just knew they are the perfect accessory for any bride who loves her clutch. Prices are all around $70USD which is very reasonable for hand made Purses.  

But please don't just take my word for it.... see for yourself IMH Designs on Etsy

I can't believe there is only 1 week left in August. The summer has gone by so fast and we've had a full summer filled with beautiful weddings all over the city! This year we saw a lot of weddings at the Nelligan (one of our most favorite spots). We also had weddings at other amazing locations this summer including The Windsor, KOKO Restaurant + Bar, Version, Suite 701, The Hyatt Regency, and this past weekend we were up at Mt. Tremblant at the Whydam Cap Tremblant. All beautiful and amazing!!!!

I've put together a little inspiration board of some highlights of this summers weddings! Surely, we aren't slowing down as we approach our fall wedding season! I just love our fall weddings, but will definitely will miss our summer sunshine as it drifts away.

Until next time!
