I only picked three places to get the quote for my flower arrangements.
1. Poppies
http://www.poppiesplantofjoy.com/
1094 Queen Street West
Toronto, ON M6J 1H9
(416) 538-2497
-I got the name from Ourfaves.com, and I went there, the lady is fairly nice and seems very easy to work with.
here’s the quote from Poppies
2. Wilbe Blooming
http://www.wilbebloomin.ca/
9-160 Baldwin Street, Unit #9, Toronto, ON, M5T3K7

-I found them while walking around Kengsington Market. They are quite nice.. but the price quote is not what I am looking for..
here’s the quote from Wilbe bloomin
3. Paris Florist
975 College Street, Toronto, ON, M6H1A6
416-531-2211
-I found her through my work. My boss’ florist that she used last year for her wedding. Very nice lady, and made the sample right on the spot. I got her quote, (around 1200). It’s pretty similar to Poppies. But she’s very sincere and definitely knows what I want. So I am going for her for sure.

Yeah, I know this might sound crazy, but I actually bought my wedding shoe on Ebay.
I guess I am either too cheap and too lazy to even go out to shop for a pair of shoe, so I took a risk and actually bought it online. lol
Surprisingly that the shoe fits perfectly and it very comfortable. I guess because it’s fairly low pump (2″), so I will be fine walking the whole day with this pair of shoe.
The brand of the shoe is NINA dyeable shoes. Apparently I can actually dye those shoes later if I want.
Here’s the pictures of my shoes!! I am soo excited! The shoes are brand new, and they even come with a cotton bag to store them 
And how much I spent on this pair of shoes? $43 bucks.

The Wedding Cake Shoppe!!!
The cake lady- Cindy bought us over with her cake samples. And two books full of her wedding cake portfolio.
So i guess I can finally rest my case on the wedding cake hunt. And now working on the detail for what I want in the cake and the look of it.

Alright, Other than the venue and the flower, what else I need?
Yes, A wedding cake.
I personally loves chocolate wedding cake, just the fact that I don’t like traditional white icing wedding cake. There’s few places I have looked up for wedding cake.
- Noisette Pastry
http://noisette.ca/
I heard their cake is very delicious, but its’ too bad when I called that they are already booked up on Aug 8th
- Marmalade Cake Company
http://www.marmaladecakecompany.com/
I heard some rave review from this place, and same thing, when I called, they are booked up too 
- Shirley’s Sweet Creation
http://www.shirleysweetcreations.com/
I heard this place is pretty good too, then again, it’s all booked
- The Wedding Cake Shoppe
http://www.theweddingcakeshoppe.com/
I actually found this place under toronto.com listing, and yes, she’s AVAILABLE, WOOT! Let’s just see if her cake taste good as the look.
- Dufflet Pastry
http://www.dufflet.com/
I am always a fan of Dufflet’s work, however, I am not a big fan of their wedding cake design. lol
I think if wedding cake shoppe doesn’t work out, then I guess I’ll call up dufflet to see if I can get a cake from there
BlogTO also put an article on the “Best Custom and Wedding Cakes in Toronto“. It’s a good start for you to search for your dream cake.
I also gathered a collection of the cake photos I found online, feel free to download them. However, I did not take those photos so please give a credit to those who actually took those pictures.

I guess the next thing after we have decided the reception, it’s flower and decorations.
The Balmoral room’s color is tend to be yellowish, and the door and the framing around the place is tend to be in dark brown. So I guess my best move with the color would be White as main color, and have orange, yellow and either light green or blue as an accent.
Right now my thing about flower is, I LOVE Orchids, Lilies and Calla Lilies. I think they are soo sophisticated and beautiful.
There’s couple things I have to get from a florist:
1. Centrepieces for my guest dinner table
2. Centrepiece for my head table
3. My bouquet
4. My bridesmaid’s bouquet
5. Flower pin for my parents and Alex’s parents
6. Flower pin for Alex’s best man
7. Wedding ceremony flower decoration
8. Flower decoration piece for the sweet table (probably reuse from the wedding ceremony
hmm., and what else? can’t think of anything right now. I will update later.
I actually put together an insipiration piece in terms of flowers that I found online. Feel free to download it and use it as your inspiration piece too.

After going through like 7 places and tons of phone call. We decided to have Old Mill Inn as our reception venue.
Old Mill Inn is situated near Humber River and it’s right next to Old Mill Subway station on Bloor-Danforth Line subway. The reason we choose this place is because..
- The price is reasonable and you get 5 hours of open bar!!
- The place is located right next to subway, easy access and plenty of space for those who wish to drive.
- Old Mill Inn’s style is very victorian-ish and yet very elegant and nice
- Awesome place to take pictures over summer because its garden and the fact that the whole place is landscapped!
Here’s a closer look of the room
The only thing about this room is .. there’s no window!! arghh!!
here’s also the spec of the Balmoral room if you are interested. The room fits up to 100 people I think, but I only have 60 people on my list, so I guess there will be plenty of room to walk around
