Seasonal Tablescapes: A Design Moment for Every Type of Couple
One of the most exciting design features we created was a series of styled tables each representing a season.
This portion of the Open House was meant to inspire couples and show just how versatile Chotto Matte can be from a design perspective. With florals, stationery, tabletop styling and curated details, each table told its own story.
Spring
Think airy, fresh and romantic – softer blooms and light details.

Bright, vibrant, energetic – the kind of look that feels like a destination celebration in the city.
Fall

Winter
A chic, elevated palette with timeless elegance and dramatic detail.
The Outdoor Terrace: Dancing Under the CN Tower
One of the most unforgettable features at Chotto Matte is the outdoor terrace, a space that feels like a true downtown Toronto dream.
Picture this: music playing, drinks flowing, guests laughing and dancing outdoors, with the CN Tower as your backdrop. It creates an atmosphere that feels like an upscale rooftop party, but with the warmth and intimacy of a wedding celebration.
