GLASS CASTLE The ceremony was followed by a grand reception at casa loma (part of liberty entertainment group), a majestic castle in midtown Toronto. Tara and Matthew’s wedding reception was the first to be hosted in the new Glass Pavilion on the grounds of the castle. “The natural light and airy beauty of the space is what solidified our choice of Casa Loma as our reception venue,” says the couple. Malvina Chevolleau of fabulous occasions worked in conjunction with floral designer Daniela Miceli-Perri of d&d floral designs inc. and decor designer Raj Matharu of dream party decor inc. to create a space that enhanced the grand, ethereal feel of the venue. The entryway was draped in soft, white sheer fabric and accented with strands of jasmine flowers. “It not only looked sophisticated and elegant, but also smelled heavenly,” recalls Tara. The ceiling of the Glass Pavilion was decorated with intricate, white draping and a series of crystal chandeliers. Long dining tables featured a mix of metal and crystal candelabras placed alongside low and tall, white floral centrepieces. www.wedl u xe.com 225
