Teuscher Champagne Truffle - wedding favors

 This past weekend, at the Canadian Wedding Planners Conference held in Toronto, I had the pleasure of tasting these beautiful champagne truffles that Oprah loves so much!

 These handmade swiss truffles are available in the signature green and yellow packaging or special packaging such as pictured above. Choose from 2 or 4 truffles per box. Your guests will be delighted with these unique truffles, offered by only one Canadian supplier - William Ashley China in Toronto.

 And now, as a special gift…couples workingn with Jolyn will receive a special gift from William Ashley China when our services are booked for full wedding planning services (view here) - you won’t be disappointed!!

Yesterday was our first wedding of the year, and it was such a pleasure to work on - the couple was only expecting 25 guests, and they wanted their wedding to be warm and intimate.

We did their ceremony at the Citadel Theatre, where they often met for lunch when first dating, and then went over to the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald into the smaller Jasper Room for a truly intimate wedding reception…complete with mulled wine and apple cider (who would have thought it would have been 0 degrees in Edmonton in February LOL)

Ceremony: Citadel Theatre
Officiant - Bill Pisarchuk
Reception: Hotel MacDonald - Jasper Room
Photographer: Rachel J Photography
Flowers - Corals’ Designs
Linens - Elegant Touches
Truffle Topiary - Truffle Sensations

Invitations

Pillars with rose arrangments for ceremony

Family of the bride and groom playing

Reception room entrance there was a K and E on each door (their initials)

Bride and groom chairs

Reception room (boardroom style table arrangment)

Round menus on charger plates (cruise ship luggage tags doubled as placecards as their favour - their first trip together was a cruise, and they’ve done lots of travelling)

The amazing truffle topiary placed on the guestbook table (couple fed each other one as an alternative photo opportunity since they didn’t have a cake.

Embellished decks of playing cards - competitive card games broke out after dinner, as there was not an official dance, etc - I even learned to play ’speed’ LOL

 Thank you Kim and Eric for allowing us to help you in planning this truly intimate winter wedding!! Your love definately helped to warm the room!! Best wishes!
