Classic Vintage Decor

The classic vintage bride will be looking for natural light, detailed windows, and Windsor valences with gold accents to compliment her look.

Hotel Macdonald is the quintessential venue for this vintage bride. With deep rooted history and original Waterford china pattered ceilings. However, if you are looking for local charm than Fort Edmonton Park is a place where time has stopped and you can experience your wedding day as if it was 1885. If you are looking for southern charm than MaGrath Mansion is the perfect ceremony site or convocation hall for its exposed brick detail.

Details such as old jars, lace, pearls, and stationary complete this look.

The rustic vintage bride will be looking for country charm and wood details in her venue to compliment her decor.

Old timers cabin is perfect, with their large brick fireplace and light fixtures while venues like Country Lodge and Blue Meadows Halls offer gorgeous outdoor space complete with wheat fields and horses.

Decor items such as mason jars and wood chiavaris tied with burlap will complete this wedding style.

What’s Your Wedding Style? Eclectic Attire

Vibrant Eclectic Attire
The vibrant personality of this eclectic bride shows in her style for her big day. Proof of this is in her old fashioned hair and her modern coloured dress. Letting each bridesmaid personality show with different style of dresses and shoes, even mixing prints and solids. Hand stitched hankies make a great gift that will wipe away the tears of joy.

This is where the earthy eclectic bride’s feminine side comes out, choosing a simple flowing dress with feathers or fresh water pearl accessories. She keeps it natural with hair and makeup and won’t forget her signature floral perfume. The groom is a masculine balance paring traditional trousers with a printed bow tie and suspenders.

What’s Your Wedding Style? Glamorous Attire

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Crystal Glam Glam Wedding Attire 

Whether she dawns a dramatic mermaid style gown or a full skirted princess ball gown, the Crystal Glam Bride is sure to turn heads on her wedding day.  Her favorite dresses are from designer Pnina Tornai whose signature pieces combine luxurious fabrics with Swarovski crystals for a truly couture look.  Pairing a simple polished updo and Kardashian inspired make up will give her that classic glam feeling.  She will complete her ensemble with a statement necklace and pair of fabulous shoes.  The Groom and his men are likely to be in traditional tuxedos in keeping with the formality of occasion.  Floor length dresses are a must for the bridesmaids, and why not full sequins?

Vintage Wedding AttireYou won’t find the Vintage Glam Bride in a big poufy frock on her wedding day.  This bride gravitates more to the feminine, flowing, curve skimming pieces of designer Jenny Packham.  To give her look the authenticity of the 1920s she will pay close attention to the details.  Dresses with ornate beading, a fur or feathered shawl, and a cap veil paired with deep red lips will put her perfectly back in time.  Historically her groom would be in a top hat and tails but in a more modern era a tuxedo and bow tie certainly fit the bill.  Bridesmaids will show some leg in knee length dresses.  They’ll pair deep jewel tones like ruby and emerald with metallic accents and a signature string of pearls.

The men will flaunt casual footwear, cardigans and messenger hats with boutonnieres of wheat, and bridesmaid’s bouquets are tied with burlap for country flair.

Fall Showroom – Victorian Blush

Posted on September 13, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Taking inspiration from the beloved vintage theme Jenelle Jamani from Event Planning Headquarters created this tranquil Victorian fall tablescape.

Set in front of a full voile backdrop with beaded curtains this table would be the perfect choice for the bride who wants a Victorian atmosphere with a splash of colour at their reception.

To keep the banquet table open an ornate centrepiece was placed together in the middle of the table. This romantic centrepiece was created using an assortment of vases, urns and flowers with princess cut votives scattered across the middle of the entire table.

Wedding Veils

Posted on August 14, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Veils are the perfect wedding hair accessories for the traditional bride. Incorporate your favourite style of veil into your hair for a timeless and classic bridal hairdo.

A bridal veil with lace details will allow you to achieve a traditional and elegant impression as Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton did on their wedding days. If you are more inclined towards achieving a modern yet traditional appearance you might lean more towards choosing a veil with satin trimming or a birdcage veil that will add a vintage flare to your bridal attire. Love the idea of a traditional veil but love glitz and glam? Choose a glamorous veil with fine jeweled detailing that will be sure catch the light and mesmerize your guest as you walk down the aisle.

Love to be daring and want to make a statement at your upcoming wedding? Our team at Event Planning Headquarters took one of our most desired linens, the rosette tablecloth in black, and created a bold setting fit for any statement bride.

The black rosette tablecloth is full of texture and emanates a Victorian elegance. A mixture of mirrors, vases, candleholders and wired display items create this dramatic centrepiece. Cream Hydrangea frames adorn this aubergine satin backdrop to create a subtle contrast against the rich dark tones of the tablescape.
