INSTALLATION ANNOUNCEMENT 🤎 You didn’t think

INSTALLATION ANNOUNCEMENT 🤎

You didn’t think we’d miss the biggest color trend of the year, did you?

Mocha Mousse — @pantone’s color of the year 2025 —is a warming, mellow brown hue brimming with richness and comforting warmth. Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, describes it as “a hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort and the indulgence of simple pleasures we can gift and share with others.”

We took this sentiment to heart when creating our Mocha Mousse installation. With flowing mocha fabric cascading over a curved base, tall floral arrangements, and a serene minimalistic white bench, we’ve brought this idea to life with elegance and depth. We’ve taken the indulgence even further by layering the setup with textures, warm tones, and intimate candlelight—creating a dreamy scene that feels both luxurious and comforting.

This is more than a trend—it’s a feeling. And we can’t wait for you to step into it. 🤎✨

When it comes to Valentine’s shoots in 2025, basic is out – and bold is in.

This year, we brought monochrome back with all red everything. Velvet curtains, an oversized bow (yes, we made it ourselves after 9 failed attempts 👀), and a seamless red vinyl rug to tie it all together. It’s luxurious, chic, and just the right amount of playful. See how we brought it to life. ♥️

Want the trendiest Valentine’s shoot in Toronto? Book this setup now via the link in bio. Available till February 16th.

DIY Gigantic Trendy Bow: Our Secret Technique 🎀

DIY Gigantic Trendy Bow: Our Secret Technique 🎀

After launching our Valentine’s Day installation, everyone’s been asking about the bow!

We totally get it - creating the perfect oversized bow wasn’t easy. We tested nine different methods… and none worked. So, we invented our own technique! After lots of trial and error, we finally achieved the result we dreamed of, and now we’re sharing it with you.

Unlike other bows, this one doesn’t fall, shrink, or lose its stunning shape - it’s voluminous, sturdy, and absolutely photo-ready.

Let us know in the comments if you’re as obsessed with this trend as we are!

And, Toronto, we hope you make this iconic bow part of your next photoshoot. ♥️

‘WRAPPED IN LOVE’ IN THE EAST SIDE ♥️ Our

‘WRAPPED IN LOVE’ IN THE EAST SIDE ♥️

Our newest Valentine’s Day installation is a celebration of passion, love and artistry. This bold and dramatic setup features a total deep-red monochrome vibe, with luxurious velvet curtains thoughtfully arranged to create layers of depth and dimension. Positioned parallel to the windows, the setup is built to capture soft, flattering light for a striking, editorial touch.

At the heart of the design lies a trendy, oversized red bow, making a statement that’s equal parts romantic and modern. A red ottoman provides a stylish seating option, while a red rug seamlessly connects the curtains to the floor, creating a fully immersive crimson dreamscape.

The best part? This installation is fully customizable to fit your vision. The oversized bow is on hooks, so you can easily move it aside for minimalist shots featuring the dramatic red curtains or use it as a fun prop. Plus, the setup includes a movable backdrop on wheels—painted red on one side and white on the other - offering endless variety (think bold curtain reveals or sleek, modern looks).

Perfect for Valentine’s campaigns, glamorous girls and couples shoots, solo portraits, or even dramatic motherhood moments, this setup adds a bold and artistic flair to your photography and transforms your photos into unforgettable works of art.
