Congratulations to the winner of our Toronto Gay Wedding Show draw, who won a $150 credit towards their next purchase with CurlyGirl Flowers!

The Toronto Gay Wedding Show

This was my first time participating in a wedding show and I had such a great time. It was so cool to be amongst such a large group of colleagues and to have the opportunity to network with everyone who walked through the show. A big thank you to Ashley Watson of Ashley Waston Images who took the pictures you see below, and if you are looking for invitations, you must contact Sarah Spano of Hip Ink. She is funky and fabulous!  



Long Distance Planning...

This wedding I found quite unique...at least from a planning perspective...the bride was living in Thailand while corresponding with vendors in Toronto. It was a different experience not being able to meet with a client in person, but we had a great time working through the details over email. It's amazing how well you can get to know someone, one click at a time :o) The wedding and reception was held at The Blue Dot Gallery in the Distillery District. The venue was eclectic and quaint...a perfect match for this couple.

Camp Sylvester

We got something really cool in the mail today...a picture and letter from Mitchel (see below), an 11 year old boy who lives in St Lucia and was able to attend Camp Sylvester for the first time this summer, due to his sponsorship from CurlyGirl Flowers.

The camp is one of the many programs managed by the St Lucia Learning Project, which provides enriched learning opportunities and hope for the future for the underprivileged rural children on the island of St. Lucia.

As a sponsor, it is really nice to know that along with the more common activities of camp (eg. swimming, games etc.) the campers also go on educational field trips, learn life skills training and attend junior leadership programs.

We look forward to sponsoring a camper again next year :o)

Completed a little project over the weekend...
