Wedding season around the world has officially begun with a bang! What better wedding than the Royal Wedding to start things off! Did you watch? Did you see that dress, that kiss, oh how romantic!

Speaking of romance, Justin and Nancy (the first wedding of both A’s and I season) are still madly and love and the countdown has begun to their big day. We wanted to show you their adorable invite, that Justin (groom and talented graphic designer) did all by himself!

Using this shot from their engage shoot Justin took it to a whole new level of personalization!

Hi Hi,

I’m letting you in on some not so secret info. I have been IN LOVE with Toronto for a very long time! Soooo, when the opportunity came up to work on a creative shoot, I not only dropped everything, I dragged my bestie Monique with me!

I decided to do a Royal Wedding photoshoot with some of the vendors in T. that I really look up to. Working alongside THE CAKETRESS (so exciting), the amazing Deborah over at Palettera and photogs MIMMO & NAZ was a a lot of fun and a real learning experience! Some day I’ll tell you some stories from that weekend. (Some of which include Monique and I running through Eaton Center looking for the right lingerie and the repair man in our hotel room at 3:00 am the night before the shoot) Oh here’s another mini behind the scenes secret! Thanks to Carla and her amazing Team  (Faces by Carla) for pulling off the day’s biggest miracle! Our ‘Kate Middleton’ showed up to the shoot BLONDE! If you take a look at these pics, you’ll be amazed  at what can be done with some special hairspray. We suddenly had Miss Middleton appear right in front of our eyes! {a big thank you for this save!} Isn’t Ashley our beautiful model PERFECT?

Take a look at some of the shots. The shoot was featured on Style Me Pretty Today! A seriously big thank you goes out to everyone involved in making this shoot happen. So the countdown begins! Let’s see what those Royals come up with for the big day! Any Ideas? Based on this invitations they sent out, I’m thinking, they SHOULD have called Deborah. Oy.
