ELEGANT WEDDING MONTREAL 2016/17 AUGUST 2016 | Page 165

The Couple Says… “Be a guest at your own wedding. Be in the moment and enjoy being with each other and your family and friends.” The Decor | A lilac colour scheme with modern white decor—provided by Celebrations Party & Special Event Rentals—brought together the elegant theme desired by Louise and Nir. Large, fresh blooms made up the centrepieces, silver chargers were found at each place setting and soft lighting created a romantic ambience. Waxman House| Waxman.ca Celebrations|CelebrationsGroup.com venue: Plaza Centre Ville|PlazaCentreVille.com tuxedo: rentals: catering: Blossom by La Plaza|BlossomByLaPlaza.com The Ceremony | On the third night of Chanukah, Louise and Nir said, “I do” under a gorgeous chuppah covered with flowers at Plaza Centre-Ville. Live singing took place, blessings commemorating the festival of lights were read and the family’s rabbi lead the processional. To conclude, the groom—wearing a tux from Waxman House—performed the traditional breaking of the glass and “mazal tov” welcome to his new bride. The Reception | A renowned Grammy and Oscar DJ spun a selection of ‘80s favourites for Louise and Nir’s reception catered by Blossom by La Plaza. Midway through the evening, a darbuka drummer played alongside Israeli/Moroccan music for a wonderful live performance. And later, the bride and groom were lifted on a table and spun in the middle of the dance floor.
