Maybe it is because the following weddings palette brings together the best of nature’s colours. Blue like the sky and the ocean, green like the trees and the grass and white like the clouds, whatever the reason this palette re-kindles my love for the spectacular hydrangeas. Frankie and Ryan’s wedding has done just that. What a beautiful day it was, not only was the weather perfect but the hydrangeas were in a word exquisite!

We used them everywhere from the bouquets and hair flowers, to the large arrangements for the church and the centrepieces. The bouquets were a beautiful combination classic whites and greens with Frankie’s bouquet incorporating more beautiful blues and purples

 

 

This couple was a breeze to work with, I loved Frankie’s style and quick descsion making, it made this wedding a pleasure to work on.

We used masses of blue, white and green hydrangeas along with hints of vibrant purple agapanthus, and veronica in two large arrangements that flanked the altar in the church. The ceremony was held in the lovely and quaint heritage church, Holy Trinity in North Saanich. This church sits right on the water overlooking the beautiful Patricia Bay.

Watching the bridal party and all of their family and friends gather in the yard of this lovely little church, was a picture right out of the english country side.

The reception got under way under the marquee out at the beautiful Sea Cider, guests were treated to a fantastic spread from Truffles Catering and all was documented by the brilliant photography of Helene Cyr. 

 

Congratulations Frankie & Ryan, it was a fantastic expirience putting this wedding together with you, from start to finish!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has been a long cold winter and early spring around these parts, but apparanetly it was all leasing up to today. The most brilliant day of sunshine and gorgeous blue skies. The reason we all love it here so much. A perfect back drop for the spring wedding of Stacey & Jeff at the Interfaith Chapel at The University of Victoria, Finnerty Gardens.

This was a beautiful combination of spring whites and greens, with subtle touches of antique dusty mauve roses. A gorgeous combination of roses, peonies, and hints of flowering mock orange.

It gets better with the bouquets, and heady scented combination of peonies, lilacs, lily of the valley, freesia and more. They were just gorgeous, and the pictures of the whole day and especially of the bride, can’t come fast enough! I have been waiting to work the Kelsey Goodwin and today was the day!

 

We want to revisit it as we prepare for this years upcoming season. Here are some detail shots from one of the most beautiful weddings we have ever done (again in my humble opinion). I still get chills when I look through these images. Especially the ones at the end from Jenna & Tristan, I mean seriously can you get any better than these two?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
