{ The Dish on the Newly Renovated Arcadian Court }

A while ago we went to an industry event at the newly renovated Arcadian Court, located on the eighth floor of the Simpson Tower on Bay and Queen Street. The new space, which was formerly a Victorian style, was converted into a modern, art deco space with each room beautifully decorated with flowers and lighting.

Catering was provided by Oliver and Bonacini.  Every room had different food stations, and the sushi station was my favourite station.  I must tell you their food is just divine.  If you haven't tried their food yet, they have lots of restaurants all over Toronto which you can try.  Just recently, they also opened up a cafe restaurant, Bannock, on the ground floor of The Bay, located at the corner of Bay and Queen.

Just upstairs of the main hall there was a sweet station, which was provided by Bobbette and Belle.  Each dessert was simply mouth-watering.

And did I mention they had a photo booth?  You bet we took pictures too.  This is a great favour or interactive addition to any wedding or event.  They are so much fun!

Overall, the new Arcadian Court is a great place for weddings and special events.  It puts chic, romance and elegance all under one roof.

{ A Milestone Birthday }

My mom celebrated her 70th birthday recently and being the planner that I am, I decided to throw her a big party.  It was held at Kally's Restaurant & Banquet Hall in Scarborough and the theme was "Dancing With the Stars" as my mom and her friends love the show as well as dancing ballroom.  I incorporated blue and white as the main colours throughout.

I created a seating chart and put it in a picture frame as well as create blue pompoms to decorate the table.  For favours, I bought individual chocolates and wrapped them in blue paper.

I made tri-fold menu and table cards and used a disco ball as the centrepiece for each table.

Here is a picture of my lovely mom.  She looks fabulous for 70 years old and I hope to look that youthful when I get to that age.

Happy Birthday Mom!!
