Let’s Get Creative with This One!

An Update on the Fundraiser

Ah....the Wedding for Wishes fundraiser (see previous post). Forgive me but I’m about to break a cardinal rule of proper writing and will rely on a bunch of clichés to explain the journey our little campaign team has recently been on. 

As is the case with anything worth waiting for, the last few months of work have seen many peaks and valleys, ups and downs, highs and lows. Many doors have opened only to be shut again. We got excited and disappointed time and time again. L But now we’re on the up and that’s the track we’re staying on! J

With approximately 6 weeks left until what is certain to be an amazing wedding event, I’m styling after all :p, the Wedding for Wishes campaign has just launched a phenomenal campaign video that we hope to have go viral and encourage many across the city, the country and potentially the globe, to get involved in something beautiful.Thanks to the support of the wonderful people at Make A Wish Canada, the big hearts of many random individuals who recently found themselves at Dundas Square, coaxed by us to participate J, and my amazing friends at PGP Studios, we now have a heartfelt and inspirational promo video that I can’t stop watching. The vision was brilliant when our team pulled it together. The final product is even better. 

OK think I’ve talked it up enough! J Please take 3 minutes out of your day to watch this clip and forward it to all your friends and family. Please help us make this go viral! And of course any contribution you can make is much appreciated.

Want to Help Raise $1.1m for a Kid's Charity?....UM OK!

So This Is What Philanthropy Feels Like! 

Was it a sheer coincidence that I met Nora and Val on my birthday? Or the universe saying, "here you go. have fun!". I put my money on the latter. Long story short....just two short months ago I met Nora and Val for the first time. Since that time we managed to go from three people chatting on a couch about the possibility of raising money for a charity, to a team partnered up with Make-A-Wish Canada, with a website, and a facebook page, and a just released media campaign. Not too bad!

We've of course had tremendous help from wonderful people like Val's brother Ravi and his lovely wife Shani. Let's not forget Dave and Adam of Defined Presence....thanks for the website boys! Among all the other things you do! And then there's Jeremy Bieber...thanks for just so  happening to be close friends with Val, and a great human being! (Jeremy is a pivotal part of our campaign team). 

Tremendous feat and just a taste of what's to come! We're not holding back!  We're currently deep in the midst of ironing out all the events and activities that will help to grow our following and donation pool. As an insider's tip...watch out for our YouTube reality series showcasing our event and campaign, as they unfold. 

So stay tuned for more amazing details and watch our story as it grows on www.weddingforwishes.com, facebook and Twitter. So excited to share the story! 

Nora and Val....you're beautiful! Inside and Out. XO

Thanks for another brilliant pic Alex!

The Cover of Covers

You're probably thinking..."another hiatus, right!" But it was, and for an amazing reason. Lots on the go recently, lots! Focusing on creative design and rightfully so. I recently had the pleasure of working with a group of amazing wedding pros and together we created an incredible photo spread. We were hoping to get into a great wed mag with just a few photos but instead we got.....THE COVER OF WEDLUXE MAGAZINE! 

Needless to say, this is just the beginning! Can't wait to share the full spread details with you all! 

Best!

Shamless Plug....But One Made up of Great Stuff!

OK, so I'm not a huge fan of shamelessly promoting one's services or products on one's blog but I can't resist! I'm really excited about the latest products added to my line of weddings gifts and accessories and have to share the news.

Here's a quick overview of a few of my top favs.

Mini Ghost Chairs - My absolute top pick for 2011 wedding accessory must haves! Whether used to hold a sweet treat for your guests or to act as a unique display option for your place cards, these little chairs add a touch of trendy to any affair. Personalize it with a monogram sticker in a colour that matches your wedding theme. ($2.99 each. sticker sold separately)

Birdcages, Birdcages, Everywhere - The perfect decorative touch to any outdoor wedding. Great as an alternative to the boring old "money box" or as a unique centerpiece option when filled up with oversized blooms. Also available in miniature version. Throw one onto every plate for a whimsical version of a place card holder. ($44.98 each for item shown, $5.98 each for miniature version)

Antique Style Bottle Opener - It's all about giving your guests something they'll use. There's nothing more pointless than spending your budget dollar on guest gifts that will go from wedding reception to bottom desk drawer. Give them something unique that they'll use time and again. ($2.98 each including packaging)



I'll stop there because I have to stop somewhere! Check out my planning site for more of my favourite picks. Or shop my online boutique to view all our great products.

Best!
