Delicious Details and Floral Magic

Guests enjoyed a beautiful display of miniature cakes by Two Bears Cakery. Each one was perfectly piped and styled to match the pastel tones of the day. These bite-sized desserts were as pretty as they were delicious—a true treat for the eyes and the palate.

The floral arrangements by Breige were a standout feature. Cascading roses, soft garden blooms, and meadow-style florals brought the tablescapes and ceremony space to life. From towering urns to low centrepieces overflowing with roses and sweet peas, each arrangement told its own story.
