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!

When you think destination weddings, you might think Mexico, St. Lucia, and even Europe. But what most couples over look is the possibilities right next door. We've had several couples from Toronto who wanted a destination wedding that was within reach for their guest. With so many friends and family members having already said “i do” in the Caribbean, couples know that that they want to be a bit more original, yet stay within their budget. One of our couples was able to have everyone they had invited come to their reception because montreal was accessible and easy to get too. With so many options of things to do in Montreal, its no surprise when we are contacted by couples from out of town to have their wedding here. It's european feel makes for a beautiful backdrop to all of our weddings and we love helping couples get in touch with some great vendors to make their day that much better.  

Some of our favorite weddings venues include:

1. KOKO Resturant + Bar  
2. Suite 701 
3. La Toundra Hall (at Parc Jean-Drapeau  
   

If you live outside of Montreal and were thinking of having a destination wedding, contact us today and we'll help make your plans that much simpler. We can suggest the right venue, vendors, and help you stay within budget! -The Maddy K Team

A combination of Pink + Black

A classic combinations of colour we’ve seen this summer is Pink and Black (Or Fuchsia and Black).  It’s feminine yet elegant.  One of our brides was afraid that the combination would be too girly, but with the creative ideas of the Maddy K Team, the entire theme went off without a hitch and the night was absolutely stunning!

Another one of our brides incorporated fuchsia into the bridal party.  All the groomsmen had fuchsia ties and black suits, while the bridesmaids all had black dresses and fuchsia bouquets.

It’s little things like this that make the simple and classic combinations of pink and black POP!

We love cost-conscious options for couples getting married, we also love good causes and helping out foundations that donate money to specific causes.  Well, we’ve found both of these wonderful things all wrapped in a pretty package in Toronto.  It’s called “The Brides’ Project.” 

The Brides Project has two very important purposes: “to provide every bride with the things she needs for a beautiful wedding within her budget, and help children and adults with cancer.” 

Recently, a friend of ours went to the Brides’ Project while vacationing in Toronto.  She found her dream dress for a fraction of the price and the total amount of her dress was donated to cancer research.  She not only was excited about her purchase, but also felt so great about her contribution to something so important.

We love these kinds of places and are so happy some place like The Brides Project exists.  Many of our couples are from Toronto, so it’s definitely a lot of our brides can visit.

From Masquerade Balls to classic and chic, the Hotel Nelligan has been the backdrop to many of our fabulous wedding receptions. The Hotel Nelligan is located in the heart of Old Montreal making it a favorite among most of our couples. The building is over a hundred years old, with traditional brick walls and fabulous french cuisine it’s a little taste of Europe right here in Montreal.  

The Nelligan Hotel is a boutique hotel with luxurious suites and even a penthouse. So our couples don’t have to travel far to go from their wedding reception to their suite. It’s the total package that couples are looking for when it comes to location, options and romance, The Nelligan hotel is always on our list.
