MY WEDDING DAY

It’s hard to describe your own wedding day in words, but if I had to try, I would say: love, happiness & magic!  Being surrounded by so much love from family & friends under the same roof, my husband and I felt like the luckiest people alive! I am beyond ecstatic to be sharing all these pictures with you, as it was truly the happiest day of my life! From the bottom of my heart I dedicate this post to my family & friends as well as all my vendors that made this day an unforgettable one! Enjoy this gallery along…

BRIDAL SHOWER

Bridal shower – a stress free event. Instead of telling you how my stomach is in knots right now, I rather tell you about my bridal shower :) b/c it’s an event a bride enjoys as she has no part in organizing it. Ahhh, THE BEST feeling! A month ago, my mom & my sister threw me and amazing Bridal Shower! It was an intimate gathering of family & friends at my mom’s place with tons of food, a crazy sweet table and lots of fun & games! The decor matched my wedding theme & the desserts were simply adorable:…

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT

L.O.V.E. is what makes a perfect engagement photoshoot (and of course a good photographer & good planning – wink wink). We had so much fun during this shoot, words cannot describe the feeling to be honest. Looking into each other’s eyes, holding hands & laughing brought us even closer together & it gave us a glimpse of what our wedding day shoot will look like – can’t wait!!! I’m honestly head over heels with how this turned out; even better than I had imagined! Here are some tips on how to create the engagement shoot of your dreams – Pinterest…

WEDDING PLANNING IN FULL SWING

The countdown is ON: < 2 months before the wedding! Am I still stressed? You better believe it; but the stress level has definitely been lowered given that almost everything is ready to go & I have some great vendors I fully trust will make my day a memorable one. There are still some details that need to be taken care of and since the devil is in the details, I’m not taking it easy yet (although knowing myself, I won’t take it easy until the big day, lol)! For all future brides (& those last minute ones), here is…

5@7 SPOTS IN OLD PORT

Long work days call for unforgettable 5@7s! Located at the edge of Old Port, Marche des Éclusiers is a haven from the city noise – right on the water. The serene atmosphere really surprised me, even though the media event was swarming with people, I truly felt like I was outside of the city. Two floors of local small business owners offering a “genuine farm-to-table experience” of well sourced foods from organic drinks to fair-trade coffee! My personal favorites were:  pulled pork burgers from Diablos BBQ Smokehouse and coffee with homemade cookies from Volcanic Organic! We’ve all heard of the…

SALT ROOMS

Dry salt works! I was born in Poland, more specifically in Cracow (Krakow in Polish) & so I am familiar with the benefits of dry salt, however I never actually tried it for myself and truth be told I was skeptical. How can breathing salt actually help with stress relief, asthma, etc? It’s all about holistic therapy – something we are not very familiar with in North America, but which is widely accepted as a medical treatment in Europe. So, when I was invited to try you the salt rooms at Elite Laser located in Westmount Square, I was really…
