Part 6 of my blog series on The WedLuxe Wedding Show focuses on our "Speakeasy Groom's Lounge."
This "Men Only" area of the show was 1920s prohibition-inspired, complete with vintage posters and our very own Jazz bar!
Guys enjoyed an assortment of manly treats catered by our host venue, The Fairmont Royal York, such as: Caplansky’s smoked brisket sliders, pickled tiger shrimp, white truffle butter popcorn, and cinnamon churros with whipped cream, mini-marshmallows and chocolate shavings. Yum!
The guys were entertained with Sunday sports that played on flat-screen TVs in the room. All of the furniture in the lounge, from the leather couches to the mercury glass centerpiece jugs, was supplied by Contemporary Furniture Rentals Inc. Draping from Micki’s (part of The Event Rental Group) and lighting design by 5th Element Events perfected our man cave look!
The custom bar front decal for "The Jazz Bar" was designed by WedLuxe designer Rebekah Cuff and provided by Dance Floor Decor. The menu hang-tags and signage were created in-house here at WedLuxe. Enjoy!

Part 4 of my blog series on The WedLuxe Wedding Show focuses on our "Gatsby's Garden Tea Room."
In this beautiful and elegant area of the show, our guests could relax and unwind with complimentary tea, beverages and treats in an environment that was designed to conjure up the grandeur and glamour of a Gatsby-style soirée.
The room was sponsored and catered by our host venue, The Fairmont Royal York, and admission was included for all of our guests. (BTW - show tickets sold for $35 in advance, $45 at the door).
The design of the room was put together by WedLuxe staff (Rebekah, Jenn and I) using furniture and accessories ---including the topiaries---sourced from Contemporary Furniture Rentals, draping from Micki’s (part of The Event Rental Group) with lighting design by 5th Element Events. All of the floral (and palm fronds) were provided by Sterling-Kjargaard.
The beautiful sparkly linen seen on the tables was provided by The Linen Closet.
The oversized posters dotting the walls were actually scanned from a vintage record collection that had once belonged to a grandparent of one of our staff members. We scanned them and then colorized them with shades of green/gold/black to match the room decor.
The table menus, signage, napkins, etc were all created in-house here at WedLuxe and were accented with oh, a few hundred sheets of gold glitter paper that we sourced from our friends at The Paper Place.
