Romantic & Timeless: Chantol & William's Bridgerton-Inspired Wedding at the Omni King Edward Hotel Toronto
Ceremony at Arcadian Court · Reception at the Crystal Ballroom, Omni King Edward Hotel · 200 Guests · Designed by Ethereal Creators
What is a Bridgerton-themed wedding in Toronto like?
A Bridgerton-inspired wedding blends Regency-era elegance with modern luxury — think soft blush and lavender florals, ornate floral arch tunnels, gold accents, candelabras, and the kind of grandeur that makes every guest feel like they've stepped into a Netflix ballroom. Chantol & William's wedding at the Omni King Edward Hotel Toronto, captured all of this perfectly, with a ceremony at the historic Arcadian Court and a reception in the Crystal Ballroom.
If you've ever watched Bridgerton and thought, "I want that for my wedding," Chantol and William actually did it.
Their two-venue Toronto wedding was everything the Regency era dreamed of, filtered through the lens of 2025 luxury design. A gothic church ceremony dripping in lush greenery. A Crystal Ballroom reception lined with arched floral tunnels, gold candelabras, and a colour palette so soft it almost felt like a dream. Two hundred guests. Two iconic Toronto venues. And one design team that got to bring every single detail to life.
That would be us.
Here's a full look at how Chantol and William's wedding came together, and why it's already one of our most favourite projects we've ever designed.
The Ceremony: Arcadian Court, Toronto
The Arcadian Court is one of Toronto's most striking ceremony venues — a Gothic church with soaring vaulted stone arches, rich wooden pews, and a stained glass altar window that fills the room with colour. It already looks like something out of a period drama. Our job? Make it look even more extraordinary.
The Design: A Forest Grew Inside the Church
The vision for the ceremony was lush, organic, and romantic — as if nature had quietly taken over the interior of the building and decided to stay.
Trailing greenery cascaded dramatically down every column in the church, hanging in long flowing strands from the stonework above. White florals — delicate, airy — punctuated the greenery throughout, nodding to the blush and ivory palette that would carry through to the reception.
At the entrance, a lush floral arch framed the doorway — white blooms nestled into a base of climbing vines and trailing foliage, creating the kind of entrance that makes the entire bridal party stop and exhale.
Down the aisle, pew markers of soft white blooms and greenery with flickering candlelight guided Chantol toward the altar. By the time she arrived at the front of the church, the room felt like a secret garden — intimate, magical, and completely one-of-a-kind.
Why Arcadian Court Works So Beautifully for This Aesthetic
The Gothic architecture of this venue does something very specific: it creates natural drama without requiring you to manufacture it. The height of the arches, the weight of the stone, the warmth of the pews — all of it creates a mood that romantic, nature-inspired design can simply lean into. You're not fighting the space. You're collaborating with it.
For a Bridgerton-inspired wedding, there is genuinely no better ceremony venue in Toronto.
The Reception: Crystal Ballroom, Omni King Edward Hotel, Toronto
If the ceremony was a secret garden, the reception was the ballroom of your dreams.
The Omni King Edward Hotel's Crystal Ballroom is one of Toronto's most beautiful event spaces; white and gold ornate plaster moulding, soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with light. It is already spectacular. And then we got to work.
The Ceremony Arch Tunnel; The Moment That Stopped the Room
The most talked-about element of the evening wasn't the flowers or the tables or even the cake. It was the arch tunnel.
We designed and installed a series of white geometric arch frames connected in a continuous tunnel through the centre of the ballroom. Each frame was detailed with intricate white laser-cut floral panels — like lace made of architecture. And from each arch, blush and white wisteria-like florals draped downward in soft cascading clouds, pooling gently on the floor below.
Walking through it felt like entering another world — and looking down the tunnel, at its far end, you could see the sweetheart table glowing softly in the distance. It was the kind of moment that makes guests go completely silent for just a second before the noise of awe begins.
Gold sputnik starburst chandeliers — one of the Crystal Ballroom's signature features — glittered overhead throughout, their warm light catching every bloom and every crystal.
The Tables — Where Every Detail Told a Story
The reception featured a mix of long banquet tables and rounds, each styled to the same level of obsessive detail.
Long banquet tables were dressed in white silk tablecloths with towering silver architectural candelabras at regular intervals, their multiple taper candles glowing warmly above a continuous runner of blush, lavender, and lilac blooms — roses, ranunculus, delphiniums, sweet peas — that ran the full length of each table. Gold-rimmed charger plates with an intricate geometric pattern and cut crystal glassware completed every place setting. Gold cross-back chairs with ivory cushions lined each side.
Round tables featured the same silver-grey crushed velvet tablecloths, the same gold charger plates and crystal glassware — but here, each centrepiece was a single spiralling arrangement that climbed up and around its candelabra base, blush and lavender roses twisting upward as if growing in real time.
The Sweetheart Table — An Intimate Moment for Two
The sweetheart table was designed as its own standalone world within the room.
Two rows of dozens of bronze and gold votive candles were arranged in a tiered display directly behind the table, creating a warm golden forest of flickering light against the Crystal Ballroom's grand windows. In front of them, a white geometric frame base held soft blush, lavender, and white florals that spilled forward and outward in every direction.
The effect was intimate, luminous, and completely unlike anything we'd seen done before in this space.
The Custom "W" Monogram Bar
The bar was custom-built as a white shelving and cabinet unit — like something from a well-appointed English estate library — with the couple's "W" monogram stamped in gold at its centre. Lush blush and lavender floral arrangements rose from both sides, and gold votive candles flanked the structure in warm clusters. Against the Crystal Ballroom's tall windows and the glow of the sputnik chandelier above, it photographed like a painting.
"The colour palette for Chantol and William's wedding was one of the most nuanced we've ever worked with. It wasn't simply blush and lavender — it was an entire gradation from white to cream to dusty pink to silver to lilac to purple, all in one room. The result was a design that felt alive, dimensional, and completely unlike anything that can be replicated with a stock floral order."
