things to do in toronto this spring

Looking for something fun to do this spring in Toronto? 

I'm hosting a mothers day workshop in Roncesvalles, Toronto on Sunday April 19th, 2015 from 1-3pm.

Come hunt through the treasure chest of jewels for the perfect brooch to turn into a pendant, pick your own chain and ribbon, while sipping on bubbly and eating some sweets.

You design your own necklace and I'll build it as a gift for your mom or something fun for yourself. 

Space is limited so please email hattitudejewels {@ } gmail.com to reserve your spot. 

a day in the life of a flower workshop

On saturday I got to attend a floral workshop in west toronto at Becky, owner of Blush and Bloom studio. It was so much fun. Thanks for opening your space up to us Becky and for allowing my mom and I to have a fun creative outlet for the day! Becky taught us that it's all about that floral wave. I can't wait for the next one! 

Special thanks to Jenn Kavanaugh Photography for these beautiful photos and capturing the day! Click here to see more of Jenn's work. 

What does a halloween wedding shoot look like? a midsummer nightmare...

This was a spooky shoot a few wedding vendors from Toronto, ON put together. It's the perfect scary treat for this All Hallow Eve day. I hope you are eating candy, carving pumpkins, and watching Hocus Pocus. Happy Halloween!

Wandering Wednesday

This past summer has been such a growing experience for my company Hattitude jewellery. I'm honoured to have been apart of so many couples weddings in a small but glamourous way. From the bride's best friends wearing some jewels or the bride herself adorned in Hattitude, thank you to all my wonderful supporters. This summer has been really amazing. 

Since fall has hit I've pulled out my army green jacket and leopard print scarf and started a new blog series with a friend in the wedding industry. Meet Erika from Bueno Market. She is a sweet graphic and web designer and makes the most pretty and delicate stationary for special occasions! Check out her shop by clicking here. 

Our Wandering Wednesdays will happen twice a month as we explore the beautiful city we both moved to recently. It's also a great way for the blogosphere to get to know my business again and how myself and the biz has grown over the last 6 months since Tristan and I decided to move to Toronto, Ontario. 

This Wandering Wednesday we did some brainstorming at Capital Espresso in Parkdale, the west end of the city.

See you next week! 

What does a behind the scenes wedding photo shoot look like?

A farm, baby piglets, a pony and a baby lamb?! Who wouldn't want to participate in a creative wedding shoot involving those amazing animals and a beautiful apple blossoms orchard. I was asked to participate with an awesome group of vendors a few weeks ago on Steckle Heritage Farm for a stylized wedding shoot.

We had the whole nine yards, twin flower girls, a pregnant bridesmaids, a beautiful bride and groom and even a little ring bearer. The weather was suppose to rain, but we were so blessed and the weather held out for us as the bride stood in amongst the orchard blossoms and the horse cooperated (almost) with our bride, while the littlest black baby lamb cuddled his way into the arms of the bride.

I am so excited to see the final photos as they are sure to be stunning. You might be asking what does a behind the scenes wedding editorial shoot look like? Below are some sneak peeks from our adventures that day. Here's a list of the vendors involved and their sites.
