O&B
Summer has been a tad boring. It start out not so great with a trip to Vancouver which was great until I came down with a terrible cold!!! May was slow my lack of work and money paid play dates limited. Now its June and I have a JOB!!
I work at Malaparte and Board of Trade event venues of O&B, for those who do not know O&B they are one of most Fabulous & upscale restraints in Toronto.
My shift was Tourism Toronto with a Fabulous Indian themed event lime green and bright fuchsia filled the ballroom and patio in the forms of flowers and drapes. It reminded me of a dress I made once that was one of my fav's pieces. Then at the end of night we even got to take home mini bouquets and guess what? Little Bruce Smithsteen did not eat this one. Yay
Imagine a patio and ballroom in those colors!
Next I was BOT for Portugal Day! Which was amazing because I friend that is Portuguese I know Brasilian food but have not had much Portuguese food which was cool. We all sat down to after the guest had cleared out to eat our staff meal. How Cordial. Then the team headed out for drinks!! My first time out drinking with colleagues it reminded me of when I used to watch Grey's Anatomy and they would all go to the bar after work.
Onto saturday my absolutely favorite event to date. Even though I have only worked three. Are you ready for this it was a french wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where to begin............. we can start with I thought work started at 5 but got an email asking me to come in for 2 and I was reading it at 1 in my PJ's. Oh and apparently I was supposed to be there at 4, well I booked it work and made it for 2. Now the wedding..........
The decor: Lavender on the tables and muted toned bouquets C'est Parfait! Then on the patio a trio of three musicians could not even tell you what instruments they were playing I was very into my work but it was so french sounding I wanted to dance. Turns out it is a style called Gypsy Jazz and you can listen to it on saturdays at communist daughter one of T-dot best hipster bars. Well you all know were to find me next saturday. As I was clearing dishes I could a mix of french and english throughout the room I could not help but smile. Now the reception and speaks time each one was done in French & English. I decided I wanted my wedding my to be like that I have never been one of those girls to plan out their weddings. Maybe design a couple of wedding dresses here and there but I have been open to the idea of any wedding setting with any man. Not now French anything is tres tres more fabulous!!! What else well they had French macrons for party favors and there first dance was to "come what may" from Moulin Rouge. Love Love Love it.
All in all a good night and I was working. Thats all for now.
