SIMPLY STUNNING

There's something to be said about simplicity. Now, when I say 'simplicity' I don't mean plain. Far from it actually. Sometimes keeping a wedding simple and really focusing on the details -- making every little bit count -- can leave an impression that outlasts a more elaborate affair.

Grace and Casey Rock did just that. With a guest count of 70, this laid-back couple kept their wedding small and intimate in trendy colours of grey and yellow. Grace and Casey were wed with merely a Matron of Honour and a Best Man at their sides at Grace-on-the-Hill Church in Forest Hill, Toronto. And the reception took place at Sassafraz Restaurant in the centre of trendy Yorkville.

Grace and Casey are not the type that enjoy being the centre of attention. They much prefer to watch their guests have a good time from the sidelines and so for their wedding they kept the celebration as low-key as possible, putting extra focus on 2 specific details: decadent food and enjoyable conversation.

There was no dance floor, no major fanfare and no traditional minutiae like the Father/Daughter dance or the bouquet toss. The evening simply revolved around a conversation-and-music-filled cocktail hour followed by colourful exchanges over beautifully decorated tables, with more mingling and lounging with drinks in hand and music in ear afterwords.

And the smaller details -- like the adorable sloping 2-tiered cake, the fun-filled guestbook pages and the impromptu slide show presentation of the wedding day with which the photographer, Andreas Photo, surprised the couple -- added that little spark to the celebration without having to 'go all out'.

In keeping things simple and focusing on what was truly important to them, Grace and Casey created a wedding that stayed true to their personalities and was simply stunning.
