Urban Glam Toronto Wedding at the Fermenting Cellar

February 12, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

After Igor proposed to his high school sweetheart Frances in the middle of Central Park, the couple knew they wanted to recreate the magic and romance of that special day with an industrial wedding at the Fermenting Cellar in Toronto. The couple’s main goal was to create an intimate and romantic vibe, which they accomplished by using a darker color palette of red, gold, and black and filling the space with greenery-forward floral arrangements by A Petal or Two. The rich colors were a glamorous complement to the floor-to-ceiling brick and exposed beams of the venue. The couple also had a seriously impressive dessert table organized by Nadia and Co. that featured a love naked cake from Cake Luxe. This chic couple put together the urban glam wedding of their dreams, the photographers at Mango Studios captured every detail beautifully!

The Couple:

Frances and Igor

The Wedding:

Fermenting Cellar, Toronto, Canada

Igor and I have always been city people. When Igor proposed in the middle of Central Park in NYC, I knew I wanted to recreate that magical urban ambience at my wedding.

Igor gave me a copy of the first movie we ever watched together, and I made a book with all the things I love about him. The book had little stick figures that looked like us!

I never wanted a wedding, but I always said if I did get married it was going to be at the Fermenting Cellar. It has the perfect mix of industrial and romance. When I looked at the venue, I just instantly fell in love with the exposed beams and walls. I also love that it used to be an old Whisky Brewery. We love whisky and it’s a really cool story to tell people.

I had over 300 gold animals scattered throughout the venue, which I spray painted myself on my small balcony. It took me a year but it was a beautiful addition to the decor.

Moody Fairy Tale Wedding in Southlake, Texas

Jenelle and Johnny’s backyard wedding in Southlake, Texas is truly a fairy tale come to life! The couple set up a lovely canopy by the lake to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends. For the reception, they rented an incredible clear tent, complete with crystal chandeliers, a variety of rustic and vintage seating options, and some seriously impressive cascading floral arrangements from Haute Floral. The bride’s Hayley Paige gown was fit for a princess, and her bold flower crown was a fun addition to her reception look. The talented photographers at a sea of love went above and beyond, capturing every exquisitely thoughtful detail as well as the moody romance of the entire day.

The Wedding:

Private residence, Southlake, Texas

The ceremony was the most memorable part of the entire day. Our officiant had us look at our friends and family and then at our bridesmaids and groomsmen and ask all of them if they would keep us accountable, help us, stick by us, and love us. To which they all responded, “We do.” Having that moment to look in all their eyes and hear that they’re all behind us and love us is something I’ll never forget.

We only had about 7 and a half months to plan the wedding. A lot of the venues we looked at were booked out for a year. So, I started looking at outdoor weddings that had clear tents and fell in love. My parents live on 7 acres in the middle of Southlake, Texas, and I convinced them that it was the perfect spot. It turned out to be a lot more than just throwing a tent up in the backyard. We had to bring everything to the house, from generators to fancy outdoor bathrooms. It was all worth it though because I got to get married at home, where I grew up. There was something special about getting ready in my family room and walking out the front door to marry my love. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Breathtaking Handmade Elopement at Glen Oaks Big Sur

Kelly and Brian wanted their wedding day to be just about them. So, on a beautiful day in September, they headed up the coast of California to say “I Do” at Glen Oaks Big Sur. After an intimate ceremony in the middle of the redwood forest, the couple made their way to the beach for some stunning sunset photos captured by photographer Jes Workman. The bride looked lovely in a lace BHLDN dress and even made her own gorgeous bouquet with blush and red blooms and lots of greenery. All of the details were simple, which made their couple portraits truly the highlight of the day. If these photos aren’t enough to make you fall in love with this couple, the video shot by Jen Workman’s talented team at Luna Bay Films will certainly hit you right in the feels.

I actually made my own bouquet and Brian‘s boutonniere. I watched numerous Youtube videos and practiced a couple of times prior to the wedding. I saved hundreds of dollars, and my bouquet was actually one of my favorite pieces of our wedding!

The most memorable part of our day was the actual ceremony and then goofing around on the beach afterwards for some awesome wedding shots!
