Happy Hoilidays!
During this holiday week The Wedding Co. will be featuring some of our favourite wedding from 2011.
Next week we will have new features and more information about The Wedding Co. Show January 13-15 so stay tuned.
Juli Daoust and John Baker are the co-owners of Mjök — a lifestyle store located in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood that carries designs mostly from young Scandinavian artists. On January 23, their love for Scandinavia (and the store itself) became the inspiration and backdrop for their wedding and reception.
Juli and John began their day in the Canadiana Room at the Gladstone Hotel, an ideal location for their northern-inspired wedding with its birch bark wallpaper and antler chandelier. Phogorapher Danijela Pruginic took a few shots of the couple before heading to the store where 22 of their closest family and friends waited for the celebration to begin.
The décor was simple yet stunning, from the gorgeous flowers placed in mason jars to the name cards, which where made from wooden blocks used daily in their store. And, in keeping with the Scandinavian theme, each guest received a white Dala horse — a symbol of the Dalecarlia province in central Sweden.
I asked Juli and John to share their favourite aspect of the wedding and here is what they had to say: “The whole evening was intimate, so it’s hard to pick just one thing. The ceremony was quite beautiful, and the food by Ezra Title was easily a hit with everyone. The band also contributed to the overall mood. We think the best thing, though, was having such a select group of people, which made it really easy for us to enjoy the whole night.”
