Sarah & Ashton September 4th, 2011 Part One
I don’t even know where to start writing about this wedding and the couple that got married in the middle of all this stunning beauty, not to mention beautiful Piper and her floral collar. I have said this before but it begs repeating. There is, in my opinion, no where in the world more spectacular then Vancouver Island on a late summer afternoon and evening, and this wedding showcased it perfectly.
Sarah, Ashton and their families were an absolute pleasure to work with, and more than that, they were a joy to be around. Some of the kindest, warmest, most welcoming people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The job was easy as it took place in a garden that rivals Buchart Gardens. Sophie the master behind every leaf, petal and mossy rock was an absolute delight. We were all honoured to be in her space for the afternoon.
Our job was easy, every detail in this magnificent space was already taken care of, we just added a little bit of floral flourish to enhance the beauty that was already there. We got our inspiration from the natural spaces that surround this home and it’s property. We used lots of ferns, salal, live edge cedar stands and platters. This applied to everything from the welcome arrangements to the bridal bouquet. What we ended up with was a feast for the senses.
Once again, we teamed up with David and his team from Feys and Hobbs Catered Arts and the evening was flawless. I only wish I had taken the time to snap some pictures of some of the amazing food coming out of the kitchen. You will have to just trust me on this when I say that he is at the top of his game!
Guests were welcomed by a large arrangement in an antique crock pot and a homemade chalkboard with a simple and sweet greeting.
The aisle was marked by two massive arrangements filled with a cornucopia of late summer blooms, like hydrangeas, lilies, sedums, snapdragons, grasses and the always classic phalenopsis orchids. We used the centrepieces to create a beautiful “wall” of blooms to line the aisle
The table was a spectacular 112 foot “Family Style” table laid with a lovely black and green damask linen and we added some live edged cedar platters to the mix with “scape” of some candles, ferns and the most incredible blooms of rare Lady Slipper Orchids. It was the perfect “rustic” touch.

Sneak Peek of this weekend’s wedding
aLook at all this loveliness! So beautiful and fresh. This weekend is all about classic and elegant. We are going to make this happen with an abundance of soft, romantic flowers like hydrangeas, roses and lisianthus.
The fresh comes with the use of freesia, maiden hair ferns, lilies and sedum.
The magic happens when we incorporate these little beauties….some stunning white phanlenopsis orchids and some rare lady slipped orchids.

Savannah & John – Sunday August 21st, Inn at Laurel Point
Classic,sophisticated, elegant, all words to describe the wedding of Savannah and John. Sometimes there is nothing like the pure, perfection of a red rose. Mass a whole bunch together with some ivory grosgrain ribbon and tie it with a diamond buckle and some vintage picot edged taffeta and you have a stunning bouquet. It set the tone for the whole wedding.
Tall centrepieces filled with a lush white blooms, interspersed with short pave style arrangements of red roses filled the gorgeous terrace room at the Inn at Laurel Point.
The aisle was marked by two large arrangements filled with classic white blooms like hydrangeas, roses and lisianthus. What an entrance!
The bridesmaids carried posies of white roses, lisianthus and freesia, all bound in a black satin ribbon.
When Savannah got off the elevator with her Dad we all fell silent for a moment. There was something very special about this girl and her Dad, we could all feel it and see it in her smile. She was beautiful, and he was obviously so very proud.
Congratulations Savannah & John!

Nicole and Drew August 20th, 2011 Sea Cider – Part One
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.
