Chilling on the JOB!!!!
Whether I'm working 'near or far' - or in this case across a few provincial borders - I always find time to take a break. Oceanside or backyard, hope you're making 'me' time this summer!

Elvis Rocking for the Cure!
We were at the 4th annual 'Rock for the Cure' in Caledon. Weather was awesome, & even Elvis showed up!

What I did on my Summer Vacation!
"Have Trailer, will Travel" should read my bumper sticker! When a client's daughter asked if I could do her wedding, I was flattered, as word of mouth referrals are my favourite. But when she said "Its seaside beside the Ocean & on the bluffs - it's in Prince Edward Island - can you do it?" I'm originally from Nova Scotia, and to return to the maritimes wasn't a big arm twist for me. I welcomed the opportunity to see the Ocean again!
 

Lots of Summer still left!
Though Mother Nature has given us a strong dosage of Summer already, we've still got two more months! It doesn't take much to turn any occassion into a celebration. An afternoon BBQ can easily become a garden party, with a few Urn rentals, furniture, linen & fresh florals. And with lighting, bug zappers & outdoor heaters, an afternoon affair under the sun can easily become more romantic & dramatic under a starry night & moon light.

July Mailer - Replica Hangers
100% Replica Hanger's
Too late for Hanging Baskets?!?!
No one expected the heat that came with late Spring and early Summer. For the past few weeks, clients with Urn rentals have been asking "Can you help my Hanging Baskets?" Our poor flowers aren't sure what season they're in as high winds, torrential downpours and consecutive 30+ temperatures are overheating & knocking the natural life of real botanicals. 100% Replica in your Hanging Basket is much easier on maintenance. Don't think of it as "cheating" on Mother Nature; you're providing a helping hand, helping her for the rest of the summer!
 

 

Add Drama to a Venue Party!
The Devil's Pulpit is a natural beauty as it sits nestled atop the rolling hills of Caledon, with breathtaking views. The Bolton Rotary Club celebrated their 60th anniversary this past June, and they wanted their members to feel as special as the occassion. When we pick a place, we look at the space & the menu, but we forget about the attention to the details that can transform it from a
simple 'venue' to a 'BienVenue'!

There's No Place like 'Home'!
Sometimes, our homes are the ideal venues, as its sentimental for the celebration, or its chosen for necessity. At Grand Entrance Design, we capture your environment to suggest and create the enhancement, whether for the season or the special occasion. It begins with a visit, a first consultation that introduces me to your home, which now is considered the venue. As a colour specialist, I'm able to create your theme from your existing palate, and create something delicious!
