Louisa & Ellie's Wedding Brunch Celebration at The Fifth :)

In case you missed it, Louisa & Ellie had a spectacular wedding last month in a 14th century Priory in England (click here to see those photos). Now that we're all back in Toronto, it was time for their celebration on this side of the pond - at The Fifth Grill and Terrace in downtown Toronto. Not only a great venue, but - as we knew it would be - a great group of guests to help the ladies finish off their wedding celebrations :) Awesome wedding and event planner Kris Chau from Not Your Average Party organized a fun and casual brunch, made all the more fun with a fantastic live celtic fiddle/guitar duo! Here are some of my favourite images capturing the atmosphere of the day..

 I love this: Louisa & Ellie's wedding bands (made by Andrea Apa) feature each others finger prints from their ring fingers!

These tiny knit dolls of Louisa, Ellie, and their little puppy Dewi were made for them by a friend :)

Guests were greeted with champagne to sip while they waited for Louisa & Ellie to
make their entrance..

If this freight elevator isn't one of the coolest ways to arrive at your wedding, I don't know what is!

 Ellie's wee niece got to be a señorita for the day, with a great Spanish party dress and castanetas!

Answering the quiz questions about the brides proved a great challenge - hearing the correct answers was highly entertaining for everyone :)

 I love this "sit proper" series ;)

Louisa & Ellie: it's been such an adventure over the past few months! Thank you so much for having us with you in England, and again back home in Toronto - we've enjoyed every minute of it!! While your lives might calm down a bit now, I feel certain things will never be dull :) Wishing you many years of love, kisses, and inappropriate jokes!

Leslie & Rommel's Too Cool For School Wedding Reception at Daniels Spectrum :)

{In case you missed Leslie & Rommel's intimate ceremony at City Hall, click here to view those images}
Once they tied the knot, this fantastically fun couple threw a party to remember at Daniels Spectrum - an amazing new venue in downtown Toronto. The decor vision was pulled off by Kristina Chau of Not Your Average Party, who planned an event that suited Leslie & Rommel perfectly. These two wanted to have a super relaxed, really fun night with great food, and that's exactly what happened :) Here are some of my favourite images from the night, starting with some shots of the gorgeous floating lanterns and parasols that hovered above the guests..

First dance - full of laughter and a couple of tears :)

 Both Leslie & Rommel's mothers made lovely speeches during dinner..

some fun candids of the evening as it progressed..

Leslie's dad sang a lovely rendition of "What a Wonderful World" :)

And then we hit the dance floor!

 don't forget the photo booth!

Leslie & Rommel:  I can't imagine the two of you having a more perfect night! Everyone had so much fun (including us!) and I'm sure you'll be hearing stories for years :) Thank you so much for having us there with you to capture it all, and for being so flippin cool!
