Sweets
Many people love the sweet treats found at a wedding. Here in Liberty Village, we are lucky to have quite a variety to choose from.

Almost anything can be re-imaged in the form of a dessert. Be sure to visit For the Love of Cake, Mad Batter Bakers, and The Golden Apple.
Invitations
Sending out wedding invitations is quite a big yet important task. These paper goods are so much more than just simply providing a date, time and location of a specific event. Often, themes of weddings start with the invitation. Many guests and the wedding party will hold on to the invitations as a keepsake. Lucky for Liberty Village, a company specializing in customized wedding invitations has recently moved into the Toronto Carpet Factory, called Paper and Poste. Originating from a paper goods store on Queen St. W, the wonderful team will work with the coupe to achieve the perfect invitation. Visit them on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter to see more of their work.

Trust your floral needs to Suzanne Gardner who has over 20 years of experience, including operating her shop in the neighborhood for a long time.
