Comprehensive
approach at Brookside allows London brides all the options in one intimate
location |
|
 When you
choose Brookside Banquet Centre for your reception hall, you are
choosing a fully decorated, beautiful hall and the confidence of offering your guests some of the best
catering available in London today. At Brookside, it isn't just about
providing you with beautiful space, it's about helping you with your
food, your flowers, your music, and your wedding... "We cater to space
and all of the elements of a dream wedding that go inside it."
Having
personally attended several functions at this local wedding reception
option, The Ring jumped at the chance to interview and
 review the Brookside Banquet Hall.
Personally
speaking...
Since Brookside
Banquet Centre opened their doors they have worked closely with Culinary
Catering to offer everything a London bride could want in a wedding day
location. They host, plan and style local
weddings each year.
The staff
and management of Brookside use their years of experience to make it
their personal mission to provide 'unfailing quality and undeniable
style'. They work together to not only present high-quality, delicious
food, but also an attractive, intimate atmosphere. In order to achieve
this, they focus on attention to all the little and big details, and
creative presentation of food, table...

Online
store with personality offers favours, gifts and décor in a local,
service-driven package
|
 Wedding favours
come in all shapes and sizes but when you're the bride, you want to say thank
you to your guests with items that will be appreciated, remembered, and
that ring true to the style of your day. From tiny little triple-pillow
sachets wrapped in ribbon to fabulous gigantic diamond engagement ring napkin
holders, London's WeddingFavours.ca has some of the cutest ideas for wedding
favours, accessories, décor, and gifts that staff at The Ring have found to date. WeddingFavours.ca is more than just an online store. It is one company
that seems destined to be a favourite internet (and local) shopping locale for
brides.
The Ring sat down
with Christine Rozon, owner and operator of WeddingFavours.ca, to get the
inside scoop on what's in store for
 brides...
It was when
Christine Rozon was making plans to walk down the aisle herself that she first
had the chance to really experience what life is like for a bride who is
shopping for favours, invitations, must-have accessories, and décor.
Even though there are millions of options out there for brides with a credit
card, Christine found it more difficult than she expected to find wedding
items that were unique, stylish, and at times, even easy to purchase. Local
stores had options but many of the options were minimal, and most items were...

Wall-to-wall
renovations and on-site wedding décor puts Maltese Club in
the spotlight for upcoming London weddings
|
|
 When a bride
searches for a reception location, she has a mental wish list of criteria she
wants to fill, from budget and menus to capacity and appearance. The staff and
management at Maltese Canadian Club got our attention when they decided to
completely renovate and upgrade their event centre, professionally decorate
each space with ready-to-use wedding décor and essentially, rolled out the red
carpet to London brides.
With a capacity
of up to 250 guests and prices that are easy to love, Maltese Canadian Club has
earned it's place in the spotlight and on your wedding invitation. Let us
explain...
 Personally speaking...
Maltese Canadian
Club first
opened its doors in 1987. Shortly thereafter they became a popular location
for their members to hold weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate
parties.
In 2004, the club
decided to take their service up to the next level by hiring a professional
interior designer and undertaking wall-to-wall renovations. From a new ceiling
and chandelier to freshly...

Wedding Transportation For The Bridal Party
"How are
you planning on handling the wedding transportation on the day of
your wedding? Are you having your bridesmaids ride with the bride to
the church in the limo (assuming you are getting a limo) and then
having the groomsmen drive on their own? Any ideas, suggestions,
plans already made or being made on the transportation of the
wedding party?"

Advice Chat :
Showers!
"My mom
really wants to plan my shower because she has such great ideas for
themes and stuff, but she says having the Mother plan it is tackie
and people will think she is only doing it so her daughter gets
gifts. Is this out of the Norm for the mother to plan one? My
Bride's Maids will have one yes but two of the three girls are on
the other side of my family (divorce) and the third is a friend so
If they have one my Mom is worried about the other side of..."

We're Engaged!:
Magda and James
"Ok,
so I've been on this site for a while and I think it's time that I
post a bit about myself. James and I got engaged on August 14 2005,
two weeks after I came back from a 6-week vacation in Poland (I
guess he really missed me...lol). We've been together for almost 7
years. We're getting married on September 29, 2007 and I can't wait.
We're using fall themed colours (shades of red and orange) if anyone
has any ideas for decorations. I have planned quite a lot already. I
have my dress picked out and almost all of the important things are
booked (at least this way I get what I want)... Anyways,
congratulations to all London brides and I look forward to chatting
with you as we all plan our weddings..."
