December Weddings

Around this time of year we often get asked if it is possible to have a December wedding, that is not Christmas-y. The answer is simple . . . yes! 

It is a beautiful time of year, where friends and family are near, there is snow on the ground, and there is something special in the air! Selecting the right decor for your December wedding is what will make your wedding your wedding and NOT a Christmas party.

Here is a December wedding from last year where the warmth of the season was incorporated,  through accent colours and touches.

Introducing Lynsey.... Lead Planner for The Creative Bride

-->

Lynsey has been involved with The Creative Bride since 2009 when she met Kim (owner and creative director), who was decorating a wedding at The Elora Mill, where Lynsey was working at the time. Lynsey was the Catering Manager, and the two immediately hit it off! Kim introduced Lynsey to the décor side of weddings, guiding and teaching her more and more every wedding they would meet at. Shortly after that, Lynsey began working for the Creative Bride assisting with décor prep and wedding set up. Over the next two years Lynsey completed her degree in Hotel and Food Administration at the University of Guelph and got her wedding planning certification through the Wedding Planning Institute of Canada. She knew that wedding planning was where she belonged! In order to be able to provide our Bride and Grooms with the best possible wedding day she decided it would be critical to gain experience working for actual wedding venues. She has been Catering and Wedding Manager at two of Ontario’s Finest Inns, and Food and Beverage Assistant Manager (in charge of all weddings) for a private golf club.

Lynsey’s extensive, and well-rounded experience with weddings makes her an excellent wedding planner and a perfect fit for our creative and 'Out of the Box' brides. Lynsey is now the Lead Planner and heads up the wedding planning division of The Creative Bride and she is having a blast looking after her couples!

Lynsey, and the rest of The Creative Bride team, are looking forward to meeting new Brides and Grooms at the upcoming wedding shows. We will be at The Wedding Ring's Fall Bridal Expo on Sunday September 22 at The Waterloo Inn and the Wedding Trends Bridal Show on Saturday and Sunday October 19 & 20 at Bingemans. 

Can't wait to see you there!

Just for Fun

Wedding shows can be fun!  Especially when you find a dress to try on to match your booth colours!

Snow White Theme

Be inspired by your favorite film or fairy tale.  Here we've channeled our inner Snow White and created this tabletop, inspired by the cottage of the dwarves complete with red apples.  Enjoy!
Special thanks to Black Forest Inn as we did this tabletop for their wedding show booth and also Adam from one2one photography for the images.  Stationary by Uptown Designs, Cake and candy apples by The Cupcake Co
