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. Whether cookies, chocolates, or cupcakes are preferred, our neighborhood has it all. People from across the city flock here and use our local businesses as their preferred vendor of choice. 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.

A wedding would not be complete without flowers, both for the bride, bridal party and the table centre pieces. 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. Whatever color and type of flower is desired, Suzanne will make it perfect. Many customers come from across the city to get her works of art.
