LOVE!!!!! this wedding. Simple, stunning, sweet, sublime, serene. What a treat for me to be able to create the flowers for this couple. Karen McNeil was clearly the perfect choice for the photography, she knew exactly how to capture these two.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was honestly one of the best bouquets I have ever made (in my humble opinion anyway!) The request from the bride was….texture, organic, green…. Of course it always helps when it is so expertly shot by my friend photographer Karen McNeil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes you just have to let the pictures tell the story. I guess that is the essence of photography. I am not a photographer by any means, but I do appreciate the beauty that my friends and colleagues capture every weekend while shooting weddings. This particular wedding was shot by one of my favourites, Karen McNeil. So in the interest of the sweet anticipation I feel while I wait to see her version of events, I will post mine here. My version is the flowers in all their beauty and colour. Filled with texture and shades of chartreuse, sage, and white this wedding was all West Coast.

Now is when it all starts coming together into a beautiful bouquet filled with all manner of whites, greens and some fabulous texture. We used, poppy pods, scabiosa pods, a special protea called blushing bride from South Aftrica.
