Trend Setting Chair Options...

We love the newest styles of chairs available to the trend setting bride and groom. No longer is a chair just a functional piece of furniture... It's now also a distinct voice in the overall look and feel of your reception space!

Our first love is the "Lucite Chivari Chair", in particular the "Blush Chivari Chair".... Its timeless style, paired with its modern iridescent look is tres chic!

Another way to vamp up the "Classic Chivari" Chair, is with the accompaniment of a "Chivari Sleeve"! These ultra decorative chair accessories add a "love at first sight" touch to your decor.

Lastly, if your taste is bit more modern, the endless colours of the "Lucite Ghost Chair" should satisfy your cravings.

And if a bold look is more your taste, the "Opaque Ghost Chair" collection can give you just that!

Swoon Worthy Wedding Shoes...

For many women, one of the best parts of the wedding day attire is picking out that perfect pair of shoes! Over the last decade, the fashion industry has embraced the demand for designer shoes that a bride can not only wear to her bachelorette party, but also down the aisle. Here is a tribute to some of our most favourite swoon-worthy shoes that are so worthy of being worn on your wedding day!

Christian Louboutin's "Eugenie" Satin White Pump

Jimmy Choo's "Sierra" Pump

Bella's "Swan" Wedding Shoe by Manolo Blahnik

Prada's Patent Leather Peep-Toe Pump

MIU MIU's Crystal-Heel Silk-Satin Sandals

Winter chic, non?!

Some shots from our last wedding of 2011. Stunning décor and floral from the uber talented Rachel A Clingen Wedding and Event Design, photography by Studio2000 and Cake by Susan Trianos. Custom Gown by Ines DiSanto. Le sigh!...

Happy Planning!

Same Day Edit

Same day edits are all the rage....they are both entertaining for guests, and satisfying for the Couple who get to see video footage of their wedding day before Dancing even gets underway. Everytime I watch the editors work their magic at the wedding, I am impressed...how quickly they can edit a video to perfection!

I recently had the distinct pleasure of working with Nadia and Anwar...HERE is their Same Day Edit...brought to you courtesy of Goody Cambay Wedding Films. Guests watched this video as dessert was set in front of them...it's almost as amazing as this couple was to work with.

Enjoy...

A few 2011 Highlights...

2011 was an incredible year for LKWD. We had the opportunity to work with so many amazing couples, each unique and eager to show their commitment to each other. We also had the pleasure of working on some Corporate Gala's that were too much fun! We want to Thank all of you for a wonderful 2011, and for letting us into your lives in such a special way. Our last event is next weekend, and that will be it for the 2011 Wedding Season :( .

Here are only a few of the 2011 highlights...

~The Wedding Dress Hanger ~

This is certainly a trend that we saw in 2011. And we love it.

So often, Brides want the classic photograph of their dress hanging from the window, or some variation of this shot. Only then do you realize that you have your dress hanging on the hanger it came with - usually wire...yuck! I have often gone into closets all over the Brides home looking for a decent hanger for this photo...and the best I've ever found was a wooden one...(because really, who has super fancy hangers for their everyday clothing items?) So this to me, is the perfect solution! I especially love the one's with the Bride's future last name....a.k.a. "Mrs. Smith".

So I've gone online, to one of my favourite sites in the universe....ETSY...and located a few stores who make these!

Wedding Hangers
Dawns Craft Store
Wisconmon
Brides First

And there are plenty of other sellers as well! Just go onto ETSY and see for yourself! Trust me, your photographer will thank you! And so will you when you see the shots ;)

Kelly's 2012 Wedding Gown picks!

I'm a wedding lover. Obvious statement. I'm also a fashion lover. So I figured that tonight, I would make a post about some of my favourite 2012 Collection Wedding Gowns from various designers! There is something very exciting to me about looking at wedding gowns. Even though I got married 6 years ago, I still look at Gowns, and secretly wish that I owned a Bridal Gown Salon if only so that I could try them on everyday! It ignites that fresh excitement that every girl gets when she is planning her wedding. A dress is under a lot of pressure to make the Bride feel like a Million dollars on her Wedding day! The cut, the colour and the price tag ( no, I'm not talking about diamonds now) say a lot about the wearer...So, lets just say I was getting married in 2012. Here are the Gowns I might try on...

In no particular order....


1. The Trumpet Gown - Ines Di Santo Spring 2012

2. The 4208 Gown - Paloma Blanca

Not usually a big fan of Black on a wedding dress...but this I like!

3. The Legend Gown - Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012

I just LOVE these ridiculously feathered bottoms!

4. The Zoe Dress - Michelle Roth 2012

The Tea Length dresses are so cute!

5. The Bliss Gown - Style BL1218 - also Lhuiller

Very Kate Middleton'esque...

6. This Lazaro Dress - actually a Fall 2011 Design

AND Finally.... came across this Gown...

If Lady Gaga, were getting married next year....I can see HER in it...not me...

7. Pronovia's EPOCA Gown - Manuel Mota 2012 Collection

Yours in Wedding Fashion,
