The Henley Room was the perfect venue for this relaxed celebration. Nestled on Toronto’s waterfront, it offered a light-filled space with expansive windows that brought in plenty of natural light and spectacular views. The venue’s minimalist style and easygoing atmosphere made it feel special without being overly fussy, giving the couple a backdrop where they could truly let their love take center stage.

Pinterest-perfect wedding décor can be overwhelming, especially when you’re looking for something that feels personal without the stress of DIY. Sylvia and Sergei took the guesswork out of it by choosing the Cherry Bomb design—a romantic, bold setup featuring oversized bows, lush florals, and warm natural wood accents. 

Alicia Thurston Photography captured every special moment—starting with intimate couples’ portraits along Toronto’s scenic Lakeshore Blvd West during golden hour. The pastel skies and soft sunset light made for dreamy, glowing photos that perfectly encapsulated the relaxed, yet stunning vibe of the day. Guests had fun too, snapping pics in the playful  photo booth, designed from upcycled materials by The Pop-Up Chapel Co. A Neon Kissing Booth sign invited guests to huddle up and grab a selfie, adding a kitschy, fun touch to the evening.

The guests also took advantage of the comfort-inspired lounges and white leather vignettes from Divine Furniture Rental, creating cozy spaces for guests to chat and relax.
