Velvet Bordeaux Events

Fresh flowers on a cake is always such an elegant touch! Did you know you could eat roses?! Roses, violets, daisies and lavender (just to name a few) are not only delightful to look at - they are edible! Their petals and blossoms give salads and desserts, smoothies, syrups and teas a unique and special flavour #wedding #weddingcake #cake #dessert #durhamregionweddings #caketopper #weddingday #sweettooth #cakeflowers #cakedesign #cakedecor #weddingplanner #eventplanner #weddingcoordinator #eventcoordinator #vbe #velvetbordeauxevents #wpic #wpicalumni #lifeofawpicweddingplanner

You will never bloom in a place you don’t belong. Finding yourself stuck in the same place? Not able to grow or grasp at the goals you made for yourself? Did you ever stop to think that maybe you are in the wrong place? A flower needs water, sunlight and nutrients from soil to grow. Take away one of those elements and you’ve taken away it’s chance to fully bloom.... The same goes for you, there are certain elements you require that will help you bloom into what you’ve always dreamed of but remove an element and you will never get to where you need to be. It’s so important to be able to take a step back to fully see your situation - it’s not something that is easy but it is something that will be very helpful in all aspects of your life. Step back and see if the elements you are working with will get you to where you need to be. Don’t settle, all elements must be right and if they are not, find out what needs to be done. Your future self will thank you! #dontsettle #dontsettleforless #feedyourambition #fuelyourlife #bloom #blossom #grow #growthmindset #positivity #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #perspective #girlboss #girlbosslife #girlbosshustle #girlbosstribe #bossbabe #entrepreneur #fempreneur #fempire #vbe #velvetbordeauxevents

Hi! My name is Ashley, Owner and Principal Planner of Velvet Bordeaux Events. I am certified through the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada (@wpicinc) and have a diploma in Floral Design through the Canadian Institute of Floral Design (@cifd_toronto). ... I started this company as a way to show the world that if they can dream it, they can have it. Whether your dream is to leave your 9-5 job and start your own business or host an unforgettable event that will be talked about for years to come, I’m here to say that anything is possible and everything can be yours! I adore creating events that are out of the ordinary, events that are unique and creative. I love when people come to me with a vision and tell me they know that it’s a reach. I love the challenge of making your wildest dreams come to life in our very real world. I take pride in my work and my ability to connect with people on profound levels. I don’t half-a** what I do because I wouldn’t appreciate it if someone were to do that to me. I create connections and relationships because that’s what it takes to truly understand what your clients want, even after the event, my relationships stay present and our connections stay fresh! When it comes to weddings I watch you say your vows, I listen to every word (and most of the time I’m in the back crying) but now it’s my turn... My vow to you is to be the best Planner for your event whether it’s a birthday, baptism, novelty event or wedding. I vow to bring an abundance of creativity and dedication to your vision, to oversee and perfect each detail no matter the size, and to be there for you every step of the way! Don’t believe me?

Using this Summery November Sunday to rest, rejuvenate, and revitalize for the week ahead Got my vitamin D and fresh air intake during brisk walks with my little puppy Gelato Gin, indulged in food that I don’t usually eat during the week, and of course using some downtime to respond to emails #LifeDoesntStopWhyShouldI the sound of football on in the background (not my choice lol) and a glass of wine in hand...I’d say it was a pretty good Sunday! How are you doing your Sund...ay?! #sundayfunday #sunday #footballsunday #rejuvinate #revitalize #refresh #reset #resetyourmind #resetbutton #rest #girlboss #girlbosslife #girlbosshustle #girlbosstribe #girlbosslifestyle #bossbabe #entrepreneur #fempreneur #fempire #vbe #velvetbordeauxevents
