Mediterranean Wedding Ideas
A mediterranean wedding table and design was the order, and we turned to the fields and farms for this one. Using the deep rich colour of eggplant as our guide we piled high, grapes, plums, raddichio, figs and some scented jasmine among other things. Lot’s of earthy pots filled with herbs and greenery, as well as small hits of florals using roses, lisianthus, and yes babies breath. Gypsyphollia is used heavily over there, so we used it in mounds in an iron urn.

Sarah & Ashton, September 4th, 2011 Part Two
Now where were we… Oh yes the table.
Some more “overall look shots” before we show you the beautiful bride and her groom…..
The brides bouquet was a gorgeous, hand-tied filled with amazing blooms of whites and greens. Roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, mini calla’s little buds of echevarria, lady slippers, and the best part little fronds of boston and maidenhair ferns.
Sarah was a vision! What a stunning bride she made. She has an elegance about her that is breathtaking. Mel Baird and Elena from Concious Hair did a fantastic job with hair and make up for Sarah and all her family. Just look at how beautiful she is!
Ashton wasn’t too bad either. He looked very dapper in his suit. and we pinned him with a lady slipper to match Sarah. What a pair these two are. Can you see why we all fell in love with them?
Some beautiful shots of Sarah and her soon to be mother in law watching the guests arrive for the ceremony. Even Piper the couples sweet dog got some flowers for her collar.
The ceremony was bathed in the gorgeous light from the setting sun. So incredibly beautiful. We were thrilled to be there and thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful day filled with so much love, laughter and joy.

Sarah & Ashton September 4th, 2011 Part One
I don’t even know where to start writing about this wedding and the couple that got married in the middle of all this stunning beauty, not to mention beautiful Piper and her floral collar. I have said this before but it begs repeating. There is, in my opinion, no where in the world more spectacular then Vancouver Island on a late summer afternoon and evening, and this wedding showcased it perfectly.
Sarah, Ashton and their families were an absolute pleasure to work with, and more than that, they were a joy to be around. Some of the kindest, warmest, most welcoming people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The job was easy as it took place in a garden that rivals Buchart Gardens. Sophie the master behind every leaf, petal and mossy rock was an absolute delight. We were all honoured to be in her space for the afternoon.
Our job was easy, every detail in this magnificent space was already taken care of, we just added a little bit of floral flourish to enhance the beauty that was already there. We got our inspiration from the natural spaces that surround this home and it’s property. We used lots of ferns, salal, live edge cedar stands and platters. This applied to everything from the welcome arrangements to the bridal bouquet. What we ended up with was a feast for the senses.
Once again, we teamed up with David and his team from Feys and Hobbs Catered Arts and the evening was flawless. I only wish I had taken the time to snap some pictures of some of the amazing food coming out of the kitchen. You will have to just trust me on this when I say that he is at the top of his game!
Guests were welcomed by a large arrangement in an antique crock pot and a homemade chalkboard with a simple and sweet greeting.
The aisle was marked by two massive arrangements filled with a cornucopia of late summer blooms, like hydrangeas, lilies, sedums, snapdragons, grasses and the always classic phalenopsis orchids. We used the centrepieces to create a beautiful “wall” of blooms to line the aisle
The table was a spectacular 112 foot “Family Style” table laid with a lovely black and green damask linen and we added some live edged cedar platters to the mix with “scape” of some candles, ferns and the most incredible blooms of rare Lady Slipper Orchids. It was the perfect “rustic” touch.
More to come in Part Two……

Collaboration in Perfection
It is a special day when the talents of so many come together and create a fantastic wedding shoot. That is exactly what happened today. We shot this bounty of beauty at a stunning equestrian estate just outside the city. We started with what I consider to be one of the most beautiful flowers, the peony and chose the vibrant “coral charm” and ran from there. What resulted was nothing short of spectacular. These images are no where close to the magic that Richard and Amy McDowell from Red Leaf Studios, created today however. It gives you a taste.
The incredible team at Crumbsy’s Cupcake Cafe made the beautiful cake, cookies and cupcakes for our sweets table
Dan and Micayla from The London Chef, a fantastic catering and cooking school on Fort Street provided some amazing appetizers for our food display.
Tamara Radick of InHabit Designs did an incredible job of all the stationary and branding, and we used the double horseshoes everywhere.
