There was so much loveliness involved in this wedding. It started of course with the bride and groom. Jen and Eric were high school sweethearts and some of the nicest people. Jen is a gardener so we had the oppurtunity to incorporate lots of different elements into the designs. The best part was this little tiny green bean attached to some of the vine tendrils incorporated into Jen’s bouquet.

The inspiration point was the use of sunflowers with the petals removed. This added a fabulous texture and depth to all the arrangements and the bouquets.

The bridesmaids bouquets were a beautiful combination of white’s, cream’s and deep sunflower centres.

Centrepieces were a whimsical and rustic combination of so many elements, they were the best of fall! Jesse Holland was the photographer for this wedding, and we were thrilled to have a visit from her on Friday while the chaos that is the “day before” ensued. A behind the scenes peek at how it all comes together. Her pictures are going to be incredible, so stay tuned…. For now back to the centrepieces.

The guy’s flowers often get forgotten in these blogs of mine, so for all those grooms I have neglected over the season here is Eric’s bout in all it’s beautiful garden rose glory!

 

 

 

 

 

Laura Taylor is a very talented wedding photographer here in Victoria, so given her exposure to some of many talented floral designers here in Victoria, I was so flattered when she came to me for her bridal party flowers. What a treat it was working with her, and her bouquet was by far one of the most beautiful we have made this season. Many shades of pinks, creams, and peaches. So lovely just like her. There was a collection of some the best photographers around, both attending and shooting the wedding. Eunice Montenegro even flew out from Nova Scotia and teamed up with Christina Craft to capture this beautiful wedding. Can’t wait to see the many photos…..

We finished the stems off the bouquets off with a beautiful dusty pink satin ribbon and added beautiful braided details in grosgrain and chiffon.

 

 

 

 

Wendy &  John were married at the beautiful Sooke Harbour House on a sunny September afternoon. Wendy and I corresponded entirely through email. The bouquets were designed and blooms chosen over a few exchanges, and we finally met on her wedding day when I dropped her bouquet off to her at the hair salon. I dont have a picture of her in her dress with her bridesmaids, but I know that the lovely Karen McNeil captured her and more, so keep checking her blog for photos. In the mean time more details of Wendy’s day.

 

 

 

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.
