Our Ontario Fall Wedding

ByMeaganMiyoko | On June 24,19 | 2 Comments

I wish I could re-live our Fall Wedding day over and over!

From the time I woke up in the morning surrounded by my bridesmaids, to saying ‘I Do’ in the church, to ending the night on the dance floor with our favourite people – every single moment was perfect to us.

We were so happy with how our vision came together on this special occasion. With many of my friends entering the ‘wedding planning’ stage, I wanted to share some details and our Ontario wedding vendors, as they were a huge part in making our Fall wedding the perfect day.

Mango Pineapple Smoothie Bowl

Tropic like it’s hot! We are obsessed with smoothie bowls in our household (all two of us…haha), and this delicious Mango and Pineapple Smoothie Bowl is the perfect way to add some tropical vibes to your morning routine! Made with frozen pineapple, mango and banana, it’s healthy and super refreshing – especially in the summer heat!

Blueberry and Thyme Moscow Mules

Our wedding is coming up quickly, and we’re eagerly checking off all the items on our ‘To-Do List’ before the big day! Although planning such a large event can be a little stressful at times, there are definitely a lot of perks! We recently had our catering tasting (which felt like a 16 course meal because of all the options!), and we’ve now moved on to selecting the cocktails we’ll serve at the bar. As we were going through the cocktail options, Tiago mentioned he’d never tried a Moscow Mule before, so I obviously had to make some – we can’t pick the cocktails without thoroughly assessing all the options! This Blueberry and Thyme Moscow Mule adds a little extra sweetness to the classic version. I loved how these turned out, and hope you enjoy!

Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie Bowl

There seems to be so much buzz around the ‘Self Care Sunday’ topic lately, and I have to admit, I’m totally on board. Although I think it’s important to build a life that you don’t need to take a vacation from, it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day rush, and your endless weekend ‘To-Do’ lists. I used to find myself even more exhausted on a Sunday evening than I would after a full week of work, which I think defeats the purpose of a weekend!

Lately, Tiago and I have been trying to slow down and take care of ourselves more, and one way we’re doing this is with slower Sunday mornings. We no longer jump out of bed to run errands, and haven’t left the house before 12pm on a Sunday in weeks. It has been AMAZING – we’re feeling relaxed and recharged, and I think it’s a tradition we’ll keep for now!

If you’re in the mood for a slow and relaxing Sunday morning, this Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie Bowl is so simple and delicious. You can whip it up in less than 5 minutes, and it’s full of vitamins and antioxidants to help you feel your best!

How I Asked My Bridesmaids

My boyfriend and I recently got engaged, and we couldn’t be more excited for marriage and building a life together. We’ve picked a wedding date less than a year away, which means these last couple months have been crazy busy with wedding planning (but so much fun)!

One thing I really looked forward to was asking some of my friends to be bridesmaids. I think strong female friendships are incredibly important for all women, and I know I’m fortunate to have the kind of friends who support and encourage me, keep me honest, and are always there for a good cry or a wild night out. We invest time in each other, help each other succeed, and I think they all truly exude the whole ‘Real Queen’s fix each other’s crowns’ attitude.

I wanted to ask these girls to be my bridesmaids in a special way, and decided to throw a ‘Bridesmaids Brunch’. To ‘pop the question’, I created little gift boxes for each of the girls.

Sweet Beet Smoothie Bowl

Can you believe it’s already November?! This year is flying by, maybe because I feel like we missed Fall? The cold weather hit (and hit HARD), which means I’m officially giving up the patio brunches for lazy mornings and breakfast in bed.

DIY Party Decor | Tissue Paper Tassels

We may be getting a little old for birthday parties, but we’re not letting that stop us. It’s realistically just an opportunity to get together with your favourite people for drinks and cake – why would anyone want to give that up?

It was my boyfriend’s birthday a few weeks ago, and after we agreed we were going to make everyone do tequila shots, we decided to just go full FIESTA.

Lifestyle

Coffee Lover Smoothie Bowl

Calling all coffee lovers!

As much as I love smoothies, I always look forward to the first cup of coffee on a busy week day morning. Light roast, dark roast, iced or hot – I’ll drink it all!

If you also enjoy coffee, this smoothie bowl is a must-try. Just a teaspoon of instant espresso gives it the perfect coffee taste, without overpowering the other ingredients.
