The Ceremony | The St. James Parish Catholic Church in Tottenham, Ontario, was
where Monica and Ricardo hosted their traditional ceremony. Anchoring both sides of the
altar were two large white and blush floral arrangements perched atop white pedestals. Not
only did the priest have guests laughing and crying throughout, he made the mass as per-
sonal as possible.
The Reception | Since Monica and Ricardo decided to hold their reception under a tent
on private property, they were able to begin the setup months in advance by levelling off the
area with heavy equipment. While guests indulged in traditional Portuguese hors d’oeuvres
at cocktail hour, Digital Dream captured the entire bridal party (made up of 10 brides-
maids and 10 groomsmen) on a steam engine train at South Simcoe Railway that the bride
and groom rented for the occasion. At the reception, dinner began with a Portuguese kale
and potato soup, followed by a fresh garden salad, and choice of Portuguese cod or chicken
breast. All tables featured two bottles of red wine: Rosa Santa and a house wine that was
bottled and labelled by the couple.
The Decor | Fresh greenery and blush hues were the guiding factors of Monica and
Ricardo’s elegant and contemporary decor scheme. Long harvest tables where all the guests
were seated included tall centrepieces consisting of blush roses, white hydrangeas and green-
ery alongside low centerpieces made with the same floral. To elevate the poles holding up
the tent, each featured a gorgeous chandelier. Behind the head table where the bride, groom,
and bridal party sat, lighting provided by Digital Dream emphasized a beautiful backdrop
of blush draping.
