Whether we're honoured as a maid or—gasp—the bride to be, over the next few months, we already know we’ll be saying (or watching others say) “I do” to love. So, from cake to cosmetics, here’s our local guide to making wedding season one to remember.

The Invites
When basic cream just won’t do. Invites from Printcess Designs will ensure guests expect the very best on the big day.

The Venue
Hotel Nelligan offers an intimate setting that can still accommodate an extensive guest list. We love the exposed brick walls and delectable food, plus it’s steps away from a perfect photo backdrop.

The Beauty (You)
We’re getting exactly what we want (flawless, timeless and beautiful) at Annie Young Cosmetics.

The Cake
We’re willing to take some frosting on our nose, as long as it’s customized in our wedding colours. Les Glaceurs mini cakes of red velvet can even be monogrammed for a delicious dose of personalization.

The Bridesmaids
They’ve been spared from powder blue and taffeta, now help them through the day with Survival kits from Head 2 Toe Accessories, filled with pearls, breathe mints, Hollywood fashion tape and a rescue sponge.

The Video
Capture the true essence of the day (plus a few bloopers and an unexpected bridesmaid/groomsmen pairing) with help from Marrone Video. www.marronevideo.com, 514-856-2362
