It’s official! Favourite colour palette of the season. There is something so exquisite about purple, green, and white. This wedding had it in spades. What a beautiful day it was on so many levels. Beautiful sunny skies, beautiful flowers, beautiful venue and a beautiful bride and her dapper captain. Kelli is my friend and I guess that makes Duke my friend now to. I was thrilled to be able to create the florals for this wedding. The other thing that was thrilling was being able to work with Stephanie Rae Hull of Centric Photo. I have been watching her work for years and, yearning for the day we might meet up.

My pictures capture some of my favourite bits and pieces of the weddings I get to be a part of.Here is a sweet sequence of photos documenting the two of them seeing each other for the first time.

Now let’s talk details… Bouquets,

The ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse. It was a beautiful ceremony made even more spectacular by Duke’s kilt and his beautiful niece in her quilt as well. Kelli’s number one man Tucker, her sweet, sweet labradoodle walked her down the aisle and waiting paitently till they were finished.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lynn has the biggest smile! Every time we met to discuss details she had this beautiful smile on her face, she was beaming all the time. And her laugh…always laughing. It was such a joy to work with her. Her bouquets were an explosion of pink. Garden roses, spray roses, dahlias, astilbe, so beautiful and lush. This was the first time I had a chance to work with Tamara from Poppy Photography, and we are itching to see her pics from the day!

 

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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This wedding was a match made in heaven, in floral heaven for me and the Verbena team. There is no better way to say “summer wedding”, then with hydrangeas, and lots of them in shades of vibrant blue, white and green. Just look at these fantastic blooms….

Nicole and Drew were married under the summer sun washed sky of a quintessential British Columbia summer evening. Nights like these and there is no where else on earth more beautiful. Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse, was the perfect place for this fabulous wedding of two fabulous individuals.

Beautiful Nicole in her stunning gown surrounded by her beautiful bridesmaids in their floor length navy blue dresses, were quite simply perfection.

Nicole’s bouquet was a lush hand-tied filled with whites, greens and hints of blue. Her girls carried bountiful posies filled with hydrangeas in all the shades of blues, greens and whites.
