The Wedluxe Wedding Show Part 1

Hi everyone!

We’re here live at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Toronto ready for the 1st annual Wedluxe Wedding Show!

We arrived at 9:00 am and even before going in you can already feel the excitement buzzing from inside the hotel.

For its inaugural year, the Wedluxe Show is held on the 2nd and 4th floors of the hotel. Registration is on the 2nd floor. Right outside the elevators, attendants are diligently awaiting to assist attendees with their registration, gift bags, map, and ballots for prizes, to be held every half hour. Sorry for the bad photo, it was pretty dark.

You will find the grand entrance very intricately made like a white draped artificial tunnel with rose petals hanging down. The entire feel is to make you think you’ve walked into another world, and you have. It’s the world of luxury weddings!

Once you walk into the 2nd floor there are booths on the hallway outside, with the bulk of the exhibitors inside the hall.

I caught a glimpse of a model walking around in a wedding dress and was able to capture a quick shot of her before she was whisked away.

Good news for attendees who haven’t had a bite before coming, the Ritz-Carlton has free hors d’ouerves, even mini-burgers!

And don’t forget the drinks!

And for those who want to a relaxer, sit down for complementary tea at a Kate Spade inspired tea-room. A caution though, there may be a huge line-up!

On the 4th floor there are men and women’s lounges for some downtime. The photo below is the men’s lounge.

The women’s lounge is a little more hectic…there’s tons to do in here including trial makeup and more snacks.

There’s also some bridal gown displays alongside the outer 4th floor for some gown ideas.

Finally, I took this quick snap of the Wedluxe booth. Naturally, it was the most extravagant booth at the Show. Kudos to the team and their efforts.

Winning WPIC Destination Wedding Planner of the Year feels especially meaningful this year. This journey started with my own wedding in Italy 16 years ago. With such a distinguished panel of judges, this recognition carries a quiet weight — one that I hold with deep gratitude.

Behind every destination wedding week abroad is not just design and logistics, but a family making it possible.

To my husband — who holds everything together at home while I travel — and to the grandmas who step in with endless love… this honour belongs to you too.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your most intimate celebrations, far from home. To be welcomed into your wedding world abroad is the greatest privilege of my work.

And to my fellow planners and creative partners around the world — your generosity, collaboration, and kindness are what elevate this industry we love.

This award is shared. 🤍

Trruly honoured to be nominated for the WEMA Circle Awards 🤍
This one feels different.

After years of building celebrations across cultures, borders, and generations, being recognised on a global stage that values integrity, craftsmanship, and intention means more than I can say. No politics. No pay-to-play. Just real work, seen and acknowledged by peers who understand what goes into every detail behind the scenes.

WEMA represents the kind of industry I believe in — inclusive, global, and rooted in respect for both the craft and the people who pour their hearts into it.

Grateful to stand alongside wedding professionals around the world who continue to raise the bar with purpose, care, and authenticity.

Closing out 2025 with a full heart ❤️

A year of adventures ✈️, travel 🌍, timelines 📋, and weddings 💍 across cities and borders.

Grateful beyond words 🙏 for the trust of our clients, the support of incredible vendors 🤝, and the friendships 💫 that carried me through every challenge.

Being entrusted with my couples’ most meaningful life moments is something I never take it for granted 🤍

This year stretched my creativity, tested my logistics skills, and pushed me past what I thought was possible — and somehow, I always made it to the other side 💪✨

None of this would be possible without the unwavering love and support of my family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season 🎄✨ and a beautiful start to 2026 🥂
