When I first met Amanda and Matt I fell head over heels over them and their plan for a Berkeley Church Wedding. They were so passionate about planning a wedding that was not only beautiful but a fun, surprise-filled experience for their guests. A wedding that was timeless but modern, clean in design, and full of florals. They had settled on Toronto wedding venue, The Berkeley Church, a beautifully restored historic building with unique details. Visually, it's a dream event space for a wedding planner and designer.

THE DESIGN
We started with a light and airy palette that blended blue-greys, and blush-toned taupes. This ethereal colour palette was accented by muted metallics and clear glass to glimmer amidst the candlelight. We subtly mixed textures, patterns and materials to maintain a clean and interesting design. Paper and Poste designed an invitation suite that blended all of the details down to the grey-striped envelope liner and perfect taupe-blush letterpress ink. The ceremony took place in the mezzanine in front of the stained glass windows. Guests were greeted with mini bottles of bubbly and small test tubes of bubbles to celebrate the newly married couple. The guys donned blue suits and the girls wore perfectly mismatched dresses. A mixture of square and rectangular tables created an intimate setting while still designating the VIP guests. With a wedding party of 22, we had to be creative when arranging the head table, solved by breaking them up into smaller groups behind the bride and groom. Candles were nestled between Ashley Elaine Florals' beautiful floral arrangements. All placed atop silver leopard print table runners, handmade by Amanda's mother and grandmother. The tall ceremony altar arrangements were repurposed as centrepieces on the VIP tables. Mini envelopes containing lottery tickets for that night's jackpot were placed at each setting as favours.Cakelaine, my new favourite Toronto confectionery designer, handcrafted the cake. Photographers Joseph and Jamie Weddings captured the day to perfection. It's not often you meet wedding photographers who truly understand the need to equally capture the emotional moments of the day and the decorative elements the bride and groom have worked so hard to plan.If you're planning a Berkeley Church Wedding and would like assistance with your wedding planning and styling, please don't hesitate to reach out via the contact form!
