tips & tricks: realistic planning help for local brides

 

Twenty-five wedding experts help build a

community for Toronto brides

By Jennifer Goulden, Editor @ The Ring | January 31, 2009

 

The Toronto area wedding community is home to some of the industry's most fabulous and trend setting wedding experts in all of Canada. There are options for every style, size and budget of wedding. That leaves brides wondering how and where to start. Where do you find the perfect gown? Where can you afford to host your 250 guests? How can you have an intimate wedding for seventy-five guests in a big city?

 

If you're tying the knot in a Southwestern Ontario town like K-W or London Ontario, you've probably heard of The Wedding Ring. With over 3.9M pages views per year*, odds are that if you haven't personally achieved 'addicted to The Ring' status, you know a bride who has... And that's because The Ring is dedicated to serving and uniting brides by delivering planning resources they can't find anywhere else, ultimately changing the way Canadian brides plan weddings, one city a time.

One of The Wedding Ring's 2009 resolutions was to interview, research, review and report on on everything a Greater Toronto Area bride needs to know to plan her wedding - to change the way Toronto brides plan weddings. (And by 'change', we mean 'pitch-all-the-to-do lists-because-we've-just-done-all-research-for-you'.) And to achieve this goal, we knew we'd need some help... So we started at the top.

 

The Top 25 Founding Experts of The Toronto Wedding Ring are among the first to be hand selected for their contribution to the wedding community. These twenty-five companies will be helping The Ring build a community of brides, expertise and wedding style. They represent dedication to the art of designing gorgeous, memorable wedding days for the many brides who come through their doors - and now, they are founding the GTA area of The Ring. Within this Top 25, you'll find award winners and artists, fresh new options and long-time, experienced professionals. Check it out...
