A true duet, Lauren and Ivan share a passion and musical profession—opera, to be specific. Lauren is an operatic soprano, and Ivan is a classical pianist, and both are based in Toronto. So, if you went to the Toronto City Opera’s L’elisir d’amore in November, you heard Lauren and Ivan performing!
Classic and elegant, their Toronto wedding day began at the stunning St. Basil’s Parish, then segued to the University Club of Toronto. Amid Georgian architecture and a striking interior, Lauren and Ivan celebrated with friends and family.
When searching for a modern wedding gown that made her heart sing, Lauren visited our Toronto bridal shop. There, she fell in love with Astrid & Mercedes Fern, captivated by its striking back bow, plunging V-neckline, and swishy skirt!
