Wedding Academy at Shangri-La Hotel Toronto

On February 18, 2018, we held the first of three Wedding Academy events at Shangri-La Hotel Toronto. We hosted this fun and interactive event to share wedding planning tips from top industry professionals in a private setting. It was so much fun and so so beautiful! See some of the highlights of the event below. Big thanks to Janice from our team for coordinating this one! Details at www.wedacademy.ca. Photos by L’Atelier Lumiere.
