This Just In...

We just received this lovely thank you from one of our happy couples! :)

Madeline and team,

We were married July 18, 2009 at the Fort Gary Hotel. The venue we chose is spectacular in itself, and when you and your team came to decorate it it became unreal! Words literally cannot discribe how the room looked.

As a bride, I've always had a vision of what I'd like the reception to look like, and the reality became something much more than I could have ever imagined!! The colours were dead on, table settings were immaculate...every detail of every decoration was perfect, there is not one thing we could see out of place in a room set for over 200 people! The head table blew our minds! It was truley the focus of the room!

Another detail that we had, but didnt discuss with you, was a dedication table (for my Father and a family member). This table was decorated perfectly and really made it special for us. We did not ask for this, but that is the level of quality your company is capable of and we really appreciate it.

We sincerley applaud you and your team for a job very well done (to say the least),

Graziella and Shane Hicks

You are most welcome you two! Enjoy the bliss!

This Just In...

We just received a BEAUTIFUL thank you from our happy couple, Kendra & Mike.

Madeline,

Our wedding day could have not turned out more perfectly! Words simply cannot describe how wonderful you and your team were to work with. Right from the first consultation, the meetings leading up to the big day and to the reception, your team was so friendly, professional, and helpful! The details were absolutely stunning, and having you there to coordinate the wedding day allowed us to relax and enjoy every single minute of it. The ivory satin chair covers, chocolate brown overlays and table runners, along with the spectacular head table, the flowers, the lighting, the details, my special table and the window swag looked amazing! We have received so many compliments on how gorgeous the place looked! Thank you so much to the Madeline's Wedding team for everything you have done for us, it truly was our dream wedding!

Love, Kendra and Mike



Awwww! Thanks so much you two! We had a blast pulling this all together for you both. All the best!

This Just In...

We can NEVER hear thank you enough! We just received the most wonderful thank you from Shannon & Warren...

Hi Madeline,

I just wanted to say thank-you again for the wonderful job you and your team did helping Warren and I plan our wedding. From helping us choose our vendors, answering our every question (I know there were a ton of emails!) and decorating our ballroom you have been there every step of the way! On the night of the wedding our guests and of course Warren and I included were blown away by how gorgeous The Gates ballroom looked, I am still receiving compliments today (even Joel Ross was impressed)! The ivory satin chair covers, table cloths and napkins along with the champagne overlays really helped convey the simple and elegant look we were trying to achieve. Of course all the other details you included such as the draped fabric from the ceiling, the stationery designed to match our wedding colours and the gorgeous head table were incredible! Although I think the biggest hit was of course the candy buffet! Thank-you again for everything you and your team have done for us in making our wedding into such a memorable and beautiful event!

With Love,
Shannon & Warren


Oh Shannon! You are so welcome! We LOVED it all! Keep in touch!

Vanessa & James ~ July 25, 2009, Wedding Day Coordination ~ Bridges Golf Course

Congratulations to our very happy couple, Vanessa & James! We met Vanessa about a year and a half before their FANTASTIC wedding day. Since then, we met with Vanessa several times to get the colour combination just right and boy did we ever. Check out this GORGEOUS wedding shot by Ms. Rebecca Croft... Rebecca, YOU ROCK!







And here is the decor... We pulled out the stops for this couple. Yes, we are in the habit of spoiling our couples and we LOVE IT!

And here is what Vanessa & James had to say about the service they received from Madeline's Weddings...

Madeline's Weddings,

I wanted to let you know that the wedding was everything that I dreamed of and even more. From the ceremony at the church decorated with pew bows, to the amazing decor at Bridges, it was like a fairy tale. Your staff were absolutely amazing, especially Dale. He made sure that we were on time, that the music was cued at the right time to the right song for me to walk down the aisle. Even with a last minute change of the receiving line, he went to each individual table to let people know. It was fantastic. The head table was so beautiful with the candles and the roses and the whole room was all decked out in pretty pink and green.

Your services are amazing. I will make sure to tell everyone I know to book with Madeline’s Weddings when they get married. We felt so comfortable and relaxed, we didn’t need to worry about a thing all day - we actually had the time to really take it all in and enjoy our day.

Thank you again so much,
Vanessa and James

You are so welcome Vanessa & James! We LOVED every minute it! Wishing you all the best!

Kristy & Rob Wedding Day Coordination ~ June 20, 2009 ~ The Manitoba Club

Congratulations Kristy & Rob!

We first met Kristy last summer when she started planning their big day. We knew from the start that this wedding was going to be simply fantastic and it was. Kristy was great to work with throughout the planning. We were happy to refer only Winnipeg's best vendors.
Pulling this all together for these two was AWESOME!
Thank you Kristy for choosing us to be part of your very special day. :)

A great big thank you to all of the vendors that worked on their wedding with us. You all ROCK!

Thank you so so much Manuel Sousa for these BEAUTIFUL images!





For the reception Kristy chose gold, ivory and accents of dark purple and blue. The result was phenomenal!
Cha-cha check it out!






Check out more gorgeous images from their wedding day in their gallery HERE!

A shout out to the gals over at Whyte Ridge Academy Florists for the amazing job on the bouquets, the centerpieces and the FABULOUS wish tree at the guest signing table.
It was all beautiful!


Read what Kristy & Rob had to say about us here at Madeline's Weddings...
Madeline,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your entire team (Dale and Aisha in particular) for all of your help throughout my wedding planning process and the big day on June 20th itself! Everyone was extremely professional, welcoming and willing to go the extra mile right from the start. It made the whole experience much more relaxing than I could have expected otherwise and definitely less stressful for all involved.

Once I passed everything off to you at the rehearsal dinner, I was able to relax and start enjoying the experience. On our wedding day, it was comforting to know that you were behind the scenes making things happen. The reception décor was absolutely stunning; the details were numerous and none were left unattended to or overlooked. Thank you to the entire team at Madeline's Weddings!

Sincerely,
Kristy & Rob


We're blushing over here! You are so welcome for everything Kristy!
Congratulations once again to you both!

Madeline's Eco-Friendly Favours

If you are concerned about the environment (and who isn't these days) Madeline's carries a line of eco-friendly favours sure to indicate to all your guests that you are socially responsible.

"Tranquility” Eco-Friendly Bamboo Place Card Holder with Matching Place Cards


A symbol of friendship and long life in many cultures, bamboo brings an exotic Asian touch to any occasion. You'll be amazed at how something so light and delicate can carry so much meaning to your guests.


"In Favor of a Cure" Pink Ribbon Plantable Wildflower Favors


How often does a fabulous favor come along that is environmentally friendly, delights guests and helps improve the lives of millions? Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? It is. The Pink Ribbon Plantable Wildflower Favor is one of three favors in Kate Aspen’s In Favor of a Cure™ Pink Ribbon Collection. The ivory-lined pink ribbon is embedded with wildflower seeds that, when planted, blossom into a glorious garden of brightly colored wildflowers your guests are sure to enjoy.

This symbolic plantable is a lovely start for a garden in honor of—or in memory of—a loved one touched by breast cancer. And 10% of the net proceeds from the sale of our Pink Ribbon favors benefit The Young Survival Coalition, an international charity dedicated to improving the lives of young women living with breast cancer. Not bad for one little favor! If you want to make lasting memories for your guest—whatever the occasion—the Pink Ribbon Plantable Favor is all you need.


“Have a Blast!” Biodegradable, Celebratory Wedding Poppers


Heard the headlines? “Rice Toss Replaced by “Have a Blast!” Wedding Poppers! Big, Biodegradable Fun!” When you’ve got something to celebrate, and we know you do, give your guests the perfect alternative to rice before you rush from the reception to your honeymoon—“Have a Blast!” Wedding Poppers.

Imagine the jubilation, not to mention the fabulous photos you’ll create when your guests launch biodegradable tissue-paper confetti into the air by a safe, spring-loaded device. The perky popper wrapper, which gives guests instructions for use, shows a cartoon bride and groom holding hands, surrounded by festive confetti, with the words “Wedding Poppers” overhead. Nothing spreads the joy like confetti!


"Love Rocks" Engraved and Polished Stone


A staff favorite! Decidedly clever, sleek and simple, this unique favor adds a natural touch of romance to any table. Each stone is polished to a gleaming finish and carved with "Love." Colors and sizes vary but most stones range from a darker slate color to a translucent gold and are approximately 1.5" wide. All stones arrive in a silky white organza bag, and a matching "Love Rocks" personalized tag is also available.


“Shells by the Sea” Authentic Shell Placecard Holders with Matching Placecards


Create the perfect seaside atmosphere by showing your guests to their seats with these beautiful authentic shell holders. Each dainty, shiny shell holds a placecard and guests can later use these keepsake shells to hold their own photos. A perfect memento for seaside events!

You Have Made Your Wedding a Madeline's Wedding!

Let's give a shout out to our FABULOUS couples that have recently booked with us. We are all just thrilled to be working with you on your upcoming weddings! We have so many FANTASTIC weddings ahead of us... we can hardly wait!
We look forward to working with each and every one of you.

*** If you are interested in our services, DO NOT wait to book! We have many weekends for 2010 & 2011 that are fully booked.
