Wedding Invitations

If you are looking for original, beautiful and creative wedding invitations, there is one vendor you MUST look into.  Julie Hawkins of Julie Hawkins Original Art, is the best in the area.  She is an accomplished painter and designer.  I have used Julie for many designs, including my own business cards, pamphlets, event tickets and will very eagerly recommend her to all of my clients for their wedding invites. 

Visit Julie's website below to see some examples of her paintings:

Going WAYYYYY Back!

ok so now we are going wayyy back to 2010!  Wow!  Seems like so long ago. 

The wedding I assisted with was brought to the table for me via a new friend I had recently made.  Kim Rasokas, owner and operator of The Creative Bride (www.thecreativebride.ca), approached me about assisting her with a Halloween Wedding.  And even though I would have said of course, I totally jumped at the chance to work at a Halloween/Fall themed wedding.  It was so great!  Kim did such a fantastic job of decorating for the ceremony and reception.  She really is amazing at her job.  She is now the FIRST decorator I suggest to my clients.  She does such wonderful work, and her flower arrangements and bouquets can be seen on 4 Weddings Canada! 

If you visit the below link, you can see the pictures of the wedding I assisted Kim with in October 2010.  The photographer also has nothing but wonderful things to say about Kim :).

Sarah & Derek - August 11, 2012

Sarah & Derek BENDER (YES! Another BENDER!!) - August 11, 2012

Sarah and Derek, now this was a wedding to remember.  Ceremony was held in Stratford at Victoria Park.  The rain threatened but we really thought it would hold off.  Ceremony started great...half way through there was a HUGE boom of thunder....luckily the rain did hold off until the I Do's!!  Then it was EVERY MAN FOR HIM/HERSELF!  Luckily the Bride escaped unscathed by the rain and it was definitely some great memories created.  The ceremony was held at the Shakespeare Hall and looked absolutely lovely decorated by the Bride, Groom, their families and wedding party!

The party that followed the ceremony made everyone forget about the rainfilled ceremony and the skies cleared perfectly for Sarah and Derek to get some great photos!

You both are so wonderful!  Thank you for everything and for letting me help you plan and coordinate your day.  Love you both.

 
 


 


Kim & Jordan - June 18, 2011





AHHHH!!! Kim BENDER (ya, my sista!) and Jordan Destun TIE THE KNOT!!

What a beautiful June day for my sister to get married :)  It was a great day and a super fun party (but what BENDER event isn't??)

Kim and Jordan got married on June 18, 2011.  Ceremony and Reception were held at the Highland Golf & Country Club in London.  The day was rather warm, but luckily we did not melt (too badly).  The grounds were great to take pictures on and the Club even let us drive around in golf carts!!! It was pretty cool. 

Congratulations Kim and Jordan.  Thanks for letting Beau and I be part of your special day as well.

Kate & Jay - May 19, 2012

Kate & Jay - May 19, 2012

Kate and Jay's wedding was a blast to help plan and coordinate!  Not to mention I had the honour of standing up with them in their wedding party.

The big day was held in London at the Bellamere Winery!  Great location for an outdoor ceremony and beautiful pictures.  The venue for reception hall was also fantastic!  Wonderfully crafted beamed ceiling and stone fire place added to the beautiful decorations and flowers done by Kim Rasokas of The Creative Bride. 

From start to finish the day was a fairy tale for Kate and Jay!  Could not be happier for you both.

Love you!
