Photographer: DONE!

Ah, exciting news -- we've found a photographer and we are very happy! We found him via Flickr, where there is a seemingly endless supply of talented photographers to be found, if anyone reading this is looking for a photographer.

By entering the search words "toronto wedding photographer," we stumbled upon a group called "Canadian Wedding Photographers." Wow. Lots of good stuff to see there.

The photographer we decided on is Kevin Lam Photography. Takes great photos, seems like a stand-up guy, came with lots of great references. Win-win-win. You can click on that link to see his blog/portfolio. Just think... in just a little over 7 months, we'll be the couple on the front page. Wow!

And a lucky sixpence for your shoe

We all know the following part of the rhyme:

Something old,
Something new,
Something borrowed,
Something blue

There is apparently a final verse to this little poem: "and a lucky sixpence for your shoe." Leave it to my cute little mother to have a sixpence for my shoe that she's been saving for my wedding day:


Not sure how long I'll be able to comfortably wear that -- for the ceremony, at least. After that, I may have to remove the sixpence for comfort's sake.

There are more details on the back of the card:


She also lent me a diamond stud earring to wear in one of my upper earring holes, so I've got "Something borrowed" covered. That just leaves something blue -- I'm thinking blue toenail polish. ;)

Wedding crafts: Bouquet

As I mentioned in this post, I am planning to make my own bouquet. One thing that I stumbled upon that was especially intriguing were the twisty bits featured in this bouquet, posted by Flickr user Little Chrince.

I contacted her to ask what the twisty bits were. She didn't know, but she had bought them locally. So she went and got some and send them to me. Yay! In exchange, I made her a bunch of polka dot buttons. Win-win. I love the internet!

So here is the lovely base for my bouquet:


Stay tuned as flowers develop...
