Allie and Anthony were married this past June at the Four Seasons Toronto in an intimate, romantic celebration with tons of greenery and candlelight. It’s rare that a couple opts for no floral at all but this greenery wedding takes the cake for sweet and thoughtful touches and tonnes of personal charm.

Probably my favourite part of this wedding, apart from our stunning couple and their family and friends, were the hilarious and touching speeches. Allie & Anthony met at a bar in Waterloo (one that I frequented myself back in my younger and more charming days) that isn’t exactly known as a popular meeting spot for true love. The bar – none other than the infamous Phil’s! Phil’s is known for cheap drinks and sketchy ceilings and floors, but for our vertically-gifted couple, they met across the dance floor and realized that they were well suited in height and in life! Cheers to Phil’s – long may you live and long may you bring people together for drinks under $2.50! Allie and Anthony – thank you for sharing your amazing first meeting story with us – I don’t think I’ve been so delighted in a while!

It’s so challenging to plan a wedding while living abroad, but Allie and Anthony were faced with this very challenge when they reached out to our team. They were both staying in London and were hoping for our help in recommending vendors to help bring their vision to life. Fortunately our friends at Cool Green and Shady were ready and willing to bring their hopes of a romantic greenery wedding to life, and the details are stunning!
