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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

This wedding was an ode to the daisy! Daisies were used everywhere. This was one of the neatest bridal bouquets I have made all summer long. What treat to make a mass of white daisies into a beautiful and whimsical bouquet. The smile on Kathryn’s face when I dropped it off said it all. Her girls carried fabulous, bright and bold bouquets of gerbera daisies in 3 different colours.

The tables at Church & State were dotted with cheerful arrangements of the same daisies. The tables were marked and named by different photographs of Kathryn & Alex on their world travels. Jenna & Tristan were the photographers on this wedding and no one is more excited then me to see their version of this great couple and their wedding.
