Chelsea Clinton's cake

Chelsea's cake was from La Tulipe Desserts. Her 9 tiered, 500 pound, 4 foot tall wedding cake was white with silver accents and 1,000 edible sugar flowers! The vanilla wedding cake featured a dark chocolate mousse filling made mostly from organic ingredients - YUM ! This cake cost around $10 - $12 thousand bucks!

Milton Photographer

Last weekend I had the pleasure of working with Aron Goss of Calculated Style. I was recommended to check out Aron when a couple decided to book my services with 7 weeks to go! The photographers I originally had in mind were of course all booked, and Aron's portfolio simply amazed me. Calculated Style was voted the 2009 platinum winner of best photography studio and the 2009 diamond winner of best photographer by the Milton Champion.
Aron was so down to earth, taking the time to get to know more about me and my business between our dinner courses.
If you are looking for an amazing photographer with a mix of traditional and unique ideas for your wedding, engagement, or family photography I would not hesitate to highly recommend Aron!

Special Event Boot Camp! 2010 Part 1

On Monday August 9th and Tuesday August 10th I had the pleasure of being a part of the Special Event Boot Camp blog squad. To sum it up, this is an intense 2 day workshop geared towards event coordinators providing knowledge and inspiration in all aspects of the field.

The wonderful seminars spread over the two days really inspired all who attended. We were welcomed by the wonderful Steam Whistle Brewery in Toronto first by the venue & retail store manager, Dana Kaluzny. I was fascinated by each and every aspect of the brewery, including on site brewing, the actual location is a historic landmark and of course the entire building is 'green'.

Day 1 began with some fabulous stretching provided by Elisa & Julie from A2D2 Inc.

Our first seminar was provided by Michael Coombs from http://www.blogger.com/www.prodigyentertainment.ca . Mike went through various aspects involved in a successful business and how is has somehow slipped into the world of technology. Face to face relationships are still key to any business success while facebook, twitter and other technological aspects seem to be slowly taking over in our web based world these days. Mike's session also included a very important chance to network with the others in attendance. He stressed the importance of having a prepared 30 second 'elevator speech' , which is key to creating relationships leading to long term success.

The next seminars included Vwodek Wojczynski speaking about the different between clients and customers, Martina Rubio engaging us in the world of branding and Richard Ross from the Ring Bearer.ca speaking about Social media. With over 73% of Canadians using the web, Richard brought reality to our 'webbing' world.

Stay tuned for part 2 ...

MISSION COUNTDOWN - 3 days!!!

Chelsea Clinton

Clinton's dress has definately created some talking! She sported a Vera Wang, beaded waistline & swirling chiffon detailed $25,000 dress over the weekend.

On Saturday July 31, 2010 - the Clinton / Mezvinsky wedding took place at the Astor Courts Estate - a 50 acre estate in Rhinebeck New York. The wedding has been estimated to cost between $2 million - $5 million.

The Bachelorette

Well, yet another season of my lame sappy show is over. The Bachelorette ended (finally) on Monday with Ali Fedotowsky having a huge rock on her finger.

This season, as promised, was filled with more drama then any of the last 12 seasons! After Justin Rego was outed about having a girlfriend, Frank leaving after claiming he's still in love with his ex AND Ali letting Chris go before the finale, she came out of the season with what she wanted from it. Although I am not 100% for the idea of this show, Ali kind of got to me halfway through the season coming off as arrogant and way too happy. I am excited about her wedding planning though. Roberto is amazing and I can't wait to see how their day pans out!

The RING!! Roberto picked out a 3.03 carat, asscher cut diamond surrounded by 184 round diamonds encrusted in the band (ya - and worth $50,000!). And ladies - no it isn't Tiffanys! Neil Lane must love his celebrity finger candy ladies such as Carrie Underwood, Megan Fox & Emily Blunt.

One word - Jealous!!! ->
