LETTER FROM THE
Editor
Brucki Studios
As we head into our tenth year of business, it gives me great pride to think of all the weddings we have planned, coordinated and had a hand in over the years. We really do love our clients here! Most of us can’t help but let the tears fall when our couples exchange vows, when the bride dances with her dad or when the big day is done. Some of our couples have become friends and I was blessed enough to find a forever friend in one of our brides. Years later I was blessed again when I hired one of our brides (after her wedding) to join our team. To say she is a perfect fit for us is an understatement. I would like to thank everyone in my life that has had a hand in helping us get to that 10 year mark. All of the couples that chose Madeline’s Weddings for their wedding day, the vendors that consistently refer us and our entire team that delivers week after week, year after year to make all of our weddings happen. I would also like to thank my husband and my family for their love and

support over the years.

Liana Richard and
We met Liana and Richard when they came to us looking for the perfect décor and Wedding Day Coordination for their special day. We worked closely with the bride to create a stunning ballroom that was every bit what this happy couple envisioned.
With a modern colour palette of black, fuchsia, plum and white, planning began with the look of the reception tables. Each table was dressed in a gorgeous black pintuck floor length linen. Colour was added with plum table runners and satin white chair covers. Satin plum napkins wrapped in rhinestone ring holders added an extra touch of sparkle to each place setting. Tall black centerpieces with floral arrangements were created by The Floral Fixx while our custom stationery design for both the table number and menu were added as part of wine bottle wraps. A wonderful DIY project idea of the bride. The end result not only looked amazing, but it added a personalized detail to each reception table – something we simply love!
RED PHOTO CO.
Liana and Richard’s head table was nothing short of spectacular. Here we used satin white linens with swooping plum pintuck draped over the front. The head table featured Madeline’s Premium Décor Design which included plenty of fresh white rose petals, votive candles and glassware. To finish, tall rhinestone wrapped vases with floating candles lined the front of the table – an elegant and romantic detail. Madeline's Crystal Backdrop framed the head table beautifully while coloured spotlighting lit up the table and surrounded the ballroom creating a warm and inviting reception. The guestbook table featured black pintuck linens with a plum table runner and matching plum chair covers. Our in-house designer worked closely with Liana on all of the couples stationery needs. Custom favor and guestbook signs were added to their guestbook table while Liana and Richard added their own special detail. Ceramic “R & L” letters surrounded by their adorable mini tree favors which were a huge hit with guests.

H E AT H E R C L A R K P H O T O G R A P H Y
A sleek gold and ivory colour palette, traditional elements and delicately fine details made this wedding a gorgeous affair. Simran and Colin had a vision in mind and Madeline's helped bring it all together. Simran and Colin chose Madeline's to help make their dream wedding a reality. Their stylish colour palette of gold and ivory was a perfect choice and suited the reception space beautifully. We worked closely with this couple to achieve the look they were going for on everything from the linens to the stationery. Their wedding reception was everything they had hoped it would be. Gorgeous flowers, satin linens and hints of gold. No detail was overlooked and we loved planning every minute of it with this amazing couple. For their reception, we dressed each guest table in gold satin floor length linens complimented by ivory satin table runners. Ivory satin chair covers and gold napkins tied in their colour palette at each place setting while
gorgeous flower arrangements created by The Floral Fixx were placed upon tall glass holders with gold detailing, finishing each table beautifully. For the head table, we paired gold satin linens with ivory swooping pintuck overlays and gold chair covers The cake table and guestbook table were dressed to match. The ivory chiffon backdrop with gold swag framed the head table. Madeline's Candy Buffet was an excellent choice for this couple and their guests. Featuring an ivory pintuck linen, custom stationery and tall glassware filled with delicious sweet treats, the end result was enjoyed by all. For their reception stationery, Simran was looking for a sophisticated design with just a hint of damask. Keeping the background ivory, we used a simple damask pattern and a lovely font to really highlight the design. It was exactly what she had in mind and it suited their look perfectly. Madeline's Signature Spotlighting was placed all around the ballroom which helped enhance a the romantic setting. With the candles lit and the lights shinning, Simran and Colin's reception was nothing short of amazing in every way.

ALLURE WEDDINGS
When we met Larissa and Matt, we knew planning with this couple was going to be such fun. They had a very distinct look in mind and Madeline's pulled out all the stops to ensure every detail was perfect. Planning began with a Charcoal, Merlot and Ivory colour
scheme, our happy couple knew exactly what they were
looking for from the head table to the linens to the décor.
Their soft, romantic colour palette and stylish selections made for an incredibly beautiful wedding. And our expert Wedding Coordinators were on hand every step of the way.
Taking care of all of their needs from the ceremony to the reception, nothing was overlooked. Our expert planners were an excellent choice as they took care of all the behind the scene details as well as looking after our couple, their families and bridal party.
We worked closely with Larissa to ensure every detail was as she hoped. For each reception table, Larissa and Matt chose merlot pintuck floor length linens with charcoal taffeta table runners. We used ivory satin chair covers and matching ivory napkins to accent the pop of colour from the exquisite table linens.
The head table featured charcoal pintuck linens with ivory satin chair covers, table runners and napkins. We lined the entire front of both the marble wall and head table with an abundance of fresh white rose petals and delicate glass votive candles. The resulting look was both sophisticated and romantic just as this couple had envisioned. Tall and short votive glassware were
placed along the head table while our ivory chiffon backdrop with merlot accents added the final finishing touch. This head table was simply stunning. Reception tables also featured amazing centerpieces created by The Floral Fixx. Tall cylinder vases were over flowing with baby's breath dangling with crystals. A gorgeous site to see as guests entered the reception.

Pam anďż˝ Reggie BEK STUDIOS
Pam and Reggie's wedding had it all. Exceptional florals, romantic highlights and a gorgeous damask pattern were just some of the special touches that made this wedding unforgettable.
Pam and Reggie's wedding in the ballroom of The Fairmont hotel was certainly a site to see. Madeline's created the atmosphere they had envisioned. With a bold palette of black, white and lime, their reception was simply amazing. Pam and Reggie chose Madeline's Full Service Wedding Planning and Coordination as well. Our expert planners took care of everything our couple needed and were on hand every step of the way helping plan and coordinate their big day. Each guest table featured white satin chair covers, floor length white satin linens and damask overlays. Lime satin napkins were added for a pop of colour at each place setting. The guestbook table was dressed in a lime pintuck linen with a white and damask table runner while the cake table featured a lime satin floor length linen with white and damask table runners.
Instead of a traditional head table, Pam and Reggie decided on a sweetheart table - a very romantic setting for two! Here we used our stylish lime satin linens, white and damask table runners and finished the table off with our sparkling crystal backdrop. Our in-house designer also worked with Pam on her personalized wedding invitations. Pam looked to include a fabulous shot of the happy couple from their engagement session with the talented BEK Studios. It was the perfect touch and made for such a great keepsake! The elegant design that was part of their invites was carried through to reception stationery that included menus, table numbers and a seating chart. The seating chart was placed upon a lime pintuck linen - a real pop of colour at the entrance of the ballroom. Favourite details from this wedding include the rhinestone bird cage, monogrammed cake topper, all the gorgeous flowers created by The Floral Fixx and their modern centerpieces featuring lime green apples!

A stylish and modern colour palette that is sure to stand out. Say hello to Black, Fuchsia and Lime.
We were so excited to put together this colour palette. With so many décor items and endless possibilities, we simply LOVE these colours together! Fuchsia satin linens with matching overlays paired with black ruched chair covers are the perfect linens to start with. These chair covers are a fantastic detail for couples looking for a textured linen. For a splash of colour, add lime napkins along with a black satin table runner. Equally stylish are our gorgeous black chargers. Placed under clear dinner plates, the colour of the napkin pops through the glass making for an exquisite detail for intimate weddings. Florals are an equally important part of any table setting. Adorable hydrangea centerpieces featuring lime and light pink shades complimented the table décor. Custom designed reception stationery beautifully showcases a lime and fuchsia design against a black background. The favours for this style of table can be another fun detail. Choose lime jelly beans tied with a large black bow. And to finish off this incredible palette design, Madeline’s new black and white circle backdrop is an excellent choice. A great feature for any head table or candy buffet!
