WE ARE A TEAM OF PASSIONATE, DESIGN-SAVVY, UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS.
WE WORK AND PLAY WELL TOGETHER AND LOVE WHAT WE DO — THAT’S EVIDENT IN EVERY SINGLE EVENT WE PRODUCE.
Our celebrations reflect our clients fully—their shared history, style, and energy. Our aesthetic varies, depending on the client, their budget and the location, but our goal is always authenticity and warmth—with a touch of etherealness and magic. We take those influences and marry them with our global intuition to create an experience that's fresh, unconventional, and one of a kind. We’re about effortlessness and authenticity, highlighted by our unique solutions and integrations of lots of flowers, draping, furnishings, linens, and lighting to bring their vision to life paried with impeccable attention to detail. We often use the environment as inspiration, forgoing trends in exchange for something personal and memorable. In our designs, we work with what's in season, as well as what’s practical, functional, and beautiful at the same time.
FROM THE HEART OF THE EXECUTIVE DESIGNER:
Flowers and decor are my way of bringing joy into the world. I'm honored to share their beauty with my couples on their wedding days! But more importantly, I believe in the power of flowers to transcend time; their fleeting beauty creates memories and traditions that last a lifetime.I am obsessed with flowers. My flower and decor obsession means that I look for creative ways to add flowers and decor to each space. As an artist I pride myself in creating new designs for each wedding and never repeating. Your wedding will be designed unique to you.
Imagine that years down the road, every anniversary you will stop to reminice and will be taken back to that day you said your I DO's. The images will remind you of that special day, your guests, your venue, the music, the decor and flowers, the food and how well you pulled it off. What do you want that memory to be of? Regrets or a lifelong "OMG, we had the best wedding to date!". These details will be woven into your life forever so make it count. I find so much joy and purpose by working closely with my couples and their families to craft their dream wedding, telling their unique love story through flowers. From start to finish, every coffee date, email exchange and call is filled with so much excitement and joy, and it is such an honor to play a role in the biggest days of my client's lives!

THE APPROACH:
"We are a full service boutique firm, here to walk our clients through planning and design from conception to conclusion. No detail is too big or too small for us to handle. I love getting to know our clients and design to whatever beat they live their lives. The entire process for us is bespoke, as no two weddings are alike. Most importantly, we try to make the experience fun and memorable. We are designers at heart, but we pride ourselves on being as equally organized as we are creative with the discipline of 23 years hospitality expertise. You are one of only two client events we take on per day. We embrace the culture and personal connection to any event and locale we commit to producing, striving for a natural balance of unique details and, most importantly, making sure our couples have the most amazing time on their wedding Enjoy the process and trust your planner and creative partners. Having been in the events world for 18 years, we have seen it all and done it all—and the clients who trust us to do our thing enjoy the process so much more. The planning process should be creative, unique, and, most of all, fun!"
EXPERT ADVICE: Allow the team of professionals you hire creative freedom to leverage their expertise, network, and resources. In turn, they will deliver a magnificent experience likely to exceed your expectations.
Seriously, when they say trust them, JUST DO IT. 2 days of events and both daya they nailed it. We were so blessed, they seriously go full out for you and go above and beyond and put their hearts into it. They will do what they need to do, no matter what time, seriously 5am and they were decorating, who does that, and to make it look as beautiful as they did, is just imaginable. Thank you so much!

Affordable Fairytale
Melissa and her team made my fairytale come true. I had no idea what I wanted when I originally booked the consult but as I talked, melissa knew exactly what I wanted. She guided me from the beginning and made sure all elements (some services were provided by my venue, i DIYed a couple of things and Fairytale Creations handled the big things such as Backdrop, head table decor and receiving table decor) came together smoothly. Day of, the team did a fantastic job setting up - I was blown away when I entered the hall. They were very professional and discreet at the end of the evening for the tear down as well.

Melissa Barban
Director/Executive Designer
I have decorated since I was a pre-teen with a natural knack for design and attention to details. Creativity was in my blood. Working several odd jobs in my teens to early 20's. My main career kicked off when I got a break in Hospitality where I spent 23 years in various roles from Guest Service Agent to Guest Service Manager, Sales Manager then into the role of Operations Manager and then my final thirteen years in that career was spent as Hotel General Manager. I have worked at over eight hotels in the GTA.
FCC Decor started as a weekend side business for fun and to fuel my passion to help others have a beautiful event without massive mark ups. Clients kept referring me to others and our name kicked off. Zero marketing just word of mouth. Fast forward to 2015 and I had a vision of my retirement and I didn't like what I saw in additon to an unhappy work environment made me create my "Plan B" and here I am. Fast Forward to 2020 and we would be wrapping up with a little over a 900 weddings and events and expanded into our 10,000 square feet one stop shop.
I love what I do because when my clients are happy and if they are happy then I am happy.
Fun Facts:
Did you know I originally wanted to be a flight attendant? Ask me about that
I don't like waking up early
I have a 3 year old grandson who I spend my spare time with when I am not decorating.
