Yorkshire Pudding Weddings
October 25, 2011

It was another successful wedding season here at Yorkshire Pudding, and what a privilege it was to work with so many wonderful families this past summer.

In mid-September we catered the Houghton & Jervis wedding, which took place in picturesque Niagara-on-the-Lake.  We had a lot of fun working so closely with the couple and the groom’s mother, and as you can see from the photos below the wedding was a stunning affair.

In addition to the rented items, we used some of the hostess’ beautiful antiques in our set-up, including crystal compotes (used in the lovely table arrangements), an antique French champagne bowl and a silver cake server, which is a family heirloom.  It was nice to incorporate a few personal elements into the table decor.

Thank you to Katie and Christopher for including us in their special day.

Approximately 500 people were in attendance, and a cheque for $15,000 was handed over to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Style Me Pretty
August 5, 2011

Style Me Pretty is the online destination for wedding inspiration and DIY ideas.  Happily, our good friends over at Verve Photo Co. invited us to participate in a photo shoot back in May, with hopes of being published on this popular website. 

We’re excited to announce that the styled tea party was chosen for publication, and the photos are now available for viewing.

Photographed at Lakewinds Country Manor, in beautiful Niagara- on-the-Lake, this citrus-hued gathering is whimsical, charming, fresh, and oh so pretty.  Not to mention, it’s also the perfect backdrop for an afternoon engagement party, bridal shower or ladies cocktail party.

TBG’s Woman to Woman Luncheon
July 7, 2011

Our recent event at the Toronto Botanical Gardens was a complete success, and we are so pleased with the feedback we’ve received regarding our elegant dessert station.

Individual lemon-hued sweets, including our precious lollicakes and popular mini cupcakes, lined a long table set against a backdrop of the luscious gardens. The weather co-operated perfectly, and it was a wonderful afternoon for all involved. Thank you to the Gardens for including us in their Woman to Woman luncheon!
