I’ll hand over to the very lovely Sylvia from **[Paul Nelson Images](http://paulnelsonimages.com/)** (who shot these beautiful pictures) to tell you all about this gorgeous shoot! “Both Paul and I are huge fans of the time period between 1940-1960, so we were really excited about creating a theme that would suit that time period. We got a really rare opportunity to use a white, convertible, vintage Riley. Our plan originally involved a different set and location, but on the way there we found a private driveway situated in a magical looking forest. The setting was just too perfect for the vintage feel and the vintage car to pass up.” “The bride wore a stunning ”Gwen” wedding dress by Magdalena Gmyr from her 2011 collection. You can see her creations in **[Martha Stewart Weddings](http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/photogallery/magdalena-gmyr-2011-collection)** along with other magazines and shows. Thejewelry was provided by a wedding accessories and jewelrydesigner **[Karolina Keeler](http://www.karolinakeeler.com/)**. Her exquisite collections are featured in Wedding Bells, WedLuxe magazines. Her pieces are very high end, elegant, and timeless. The bride also wore a vintage Blusher with rose jewel veil. This glamorous yet simple blusher veil was courtesy of another very talented Toronto based veil designer Sharon Chironda from **[Posh Veils](http://poshveils.com/)**. Her veils are stunning and as the name suggests – posh. “ “The unbelievable floral creations were created by Lisa DeRose from**[DeRose Designs & Floral Boutique](http://www.derosedesigns.ca/)**. Lisa DeRose was kind enough to create stunningbouquets and boutonnieres for us on very short notice. They involved the feathers to match the “My Fair Lady” cake.” “Ayoma Fonseka from [Ayoma Cakes](http://www.ayomacakes.com/) has devoted so much of her time that she didn’t really have, by staying up all night to create a true masterpiece of a wedding cake. She created a “My Fair Lady” themed cake to match our elegant somewhat 50′s inspired theme. Ayoma has been featured in many publications . Sandra Fernandes from [Small Impressions](http://smallimpressions.ca/) created stunning invitations and stationary to match the elegance of the theme and black and white colours of the cake. She created a glass invitation that was simply gorgeous. Her invitations are masterpieces and having her creations featured in multiple wedding publications is a testament to that. “ *All images © Paul Nelson Images* Photography: **[Paul Nelson Images](http://paulnelsonimages.com/)** Photo shoot coordination and planning: Sylvia Nelson, Paul Nelson Images Location: **[Halton County Redial Railway Museum](http://www.hcry.org/)** Wedding Gowns: **[Magdalena Gmyr](http://magdalenagmyr.com/)** Groom’s attire: his own Jewelery: **[Karolina Keeler](http://www.karolinakeeler.com/)** Veils:**[Posh Veils](http://poshveils.com/)** Florist: **[DeRose Designs & Floral Boutique](http://www.derosedesigns.ca/)** Invitations: **[Small Impressions](http://smallimpressions.ca/)** Cakes: **[Ayoma Cakes](http://www.ayomacakes.com/)** Makeup and Hair:**[Dynamic Images Professional Hair and Make-up](http://www.disquad.ca/)** Day of Coordination: **[Beyoutiful Beginnings](http://www.beyoutifulbeginnings.com/)**, Susan Ramroop Models: Monica Zahorka, Edwin MacIsaac --- [Back to December 2011 in the archive](https://darlinglovelylife.com/archives/#m-2011-12)
