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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

Now where were we… Oh yes the table.

Some more “overall look shots” before we show you the beautiful bride and her groom…..

The brides bouquet was a gorgeous, hand-tied filled with amazing blooms of whites and greens. Roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, mini calla’s little buds of echevarria, lady slippers, and the best part little fronds of boston and maidenhair ferns.

Sarah was a vision! What a stunning bride she made. She has an elegance about her that is breathtaking. Mel Baird and Elena from Concious Hair did a fantastic job with hair and make up for Sarah and all her family. Just look at how beautiful she is!

Ashton wasn’t too bad either. He looked very dapper in his suit. and we pinned him with a lady slipper to match Sarah. What a pair these two are. Can you see why we all fell in love with them?

Some beautiful shots of Sarah and her soon to be mother in law watching the guests arrive for the ceremony. Even Piper the couples sweet dog got some flowers for her collar.

The ceremony was bathed in the gorgeous light from the setting sun. So incredibly beautiful. We were thrilled to be there and thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful day filled with so much love, laughter and joy.
