Below is a look into our work over 2018. We are incredibly proud of the couples we\u2019ve had the opportunity to work with this year and we hope this page gives you TONS of amazing inspiration for your own wedding!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>2018 Accomplishments:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our 2019 couples who are starting to look for wedding ideas, look no further than our top luxury weddings from 2018. We started the year on a traditional note with Rija and Uzair\u2019s Muslim ceremony. The theme of the Shaadi was Traditional Elegance with the couple opting for reds, golds and regal elements to create a royal effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sawcplanners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-06-at-8.44.39-PM-300x196.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2023\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other notable luxury weddings from 2018 were Anu and Sameer whose beautiful ceremony took place at the historic King Edward hotel in downtown Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sawcplanners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MangoStudios-WEB-0087-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aisha and Kashyap\u2019s stunning Ritz Carlton wedding took our breath away! A July wedding, this one will surely give you all the feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sawcplanners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/DSC_9581-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1941\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another big one from 2018 was Sameera and Amit\u2019s lavish mansion-themed ceremony and reception with our classy complete package. With almost 18 months spent planning the wedding, this was bound to be one of our favourite weddings from this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sawcplanners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/M_G_0015-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2025\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mathematically speaking, 2018 proved to be one of our busiest years yet. I know we said so back in 2017 but that was then and this is now (Excuse our sassiness haha)! SAWC Planners oversaw the planning and execution of 70 events in total including pre-wedding events, ceremonies and receptions.
