• Each hour participants will be led through a choreographed routine by a certified fitness instructor – Each hour will feature a different fitness discipline including aerobics; Yoga; Zumba; Kickboxing.

When is Bust a Move you ask??

•     Saturday, April 21, 2012 at the Ottawa Athletic Club

What is it for?

• 100% of funds raised remain in our community to improve breast health;
• Funds will go towards the following projects:

o  Expansion of cancer services at the Ottawa Hospital; Queensway Carleton Hospital and Irving     Greenberg Family Cancer Centre.

o  Clinical Trials and research.

• Our goal:  500 participants – who have committed to each raise a minimum of $1,000 (note: this can be averaged over a team as long as the team meets their total goal).
• We have some amazing sponsors who are helping to cover the costs for the event – working to ensure that 100% of the participants funds go directly to cancer care in our community.

A Whimsical Vineyard Wedding: Janelle & Nick

Janelle and Nick are the stuff fairy tales are made of. They are one of those couples that have known each other since they were young and although geography and circumstances carried them away from each other for a long while, fate eventually brought them back together again and they never looked back.

The fairy tale continued with the engagement when Nick proposed on bended knee at sunset and flew in all of Janelle's family (they were hiding at an apartment) so they could celebrate the engagement with them. This is a thoughtful couple, so you can imagine the details that were found in their wedding. From the food; representing both French and Italian cultures, to the venue; a Niagara vineyard echoing their love of wine, to the midnight snack; a decadent Dairy Queen bar- a common & favourite treat for the couple. But despite all that, Janelle & Nick will tell you that their favourite part was simply having all their loved ones there, basking in their love, and basking in the warm afternoon sun that filled their tent overlooking the vineyard. A breathtaking day for everyone involved.

The always luxurious Wedluxe Magazine featured Janelle and Nick's entire Niagara nuptials in their 'Editor's Blog', take a peek here

Much love to Janelle & Nick- thanks for letting us share in your 'fairy tale' xo

Read all about it! - Corissa and Sean

Ottawa Wedding Magazine hit the stands today and we couldn't be happier about seeing one of our gorgeous weddings among its pages!  

We were lucky enough to travel to the brides home town of Sudbury, Ontario for this wedding and with their playful palette of fushias and lime green, it does not disappoint!  

Corissa's donned an amazing Vera Wang gown from the White Dress and paired it with a cascading phalaenopsis bouquet that accented the dress perfectly.

If you haven't picked up the magazine yet, here is a sneak peak:

Intimate Summer Love- Allison and Dave

I figured this stunning post would be perfect for today with the dark, wet day we've had.....
We had the pleasure of working with Allison and Dave in planning their wedding. They are a beautiful couple together- inside and out. Unlike most brides, Allison actually didn't want all the attention on her that warm September day. To her, it was more about the marriage than the wedding day itself. As a result, her decor was influenced by her attitude- understated, elegant and timelessly beautiful; up lighting, candles, white florals and grey linens.

The ceremony and reception was held in the same place- the outdoor tent at the Brookstreet Hotel. The same spider chairs from the ceremony were used for the reception- tables and more flowers were brought in. The room was 'flipped' during the cocktail hour- quite the team effort for myself and the Brookstreet team but the guests enjoyed seeing the same tent transformed not once but twice in one evening.

The most unique thing about their wedding was their guest book. Allison and Dave purchased various bottles of their favourite red wines. Each had a tag on the neck saying various years such as "First Year", "Fifth Year" "Seventh Year" "Tenth Year" etc.. Guests used metallic pens to write their well wishes to the couple directly on the bottles. That way, every wedding anniversary that Allison and Dave celebrate in the future, they will open the appropriate bottle of wine and share their guests' wedding day memories and words of wisdom all over again.

Thanks to our friend Derrick Rice from Union Eleven Inc. for capturing the simplistic beauty of the entire day.

Much love to Allison and Dave xo
