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.

This was a wedding of two very special people. Kathryn and Colin have a love story to stand the test of time and this day was a celebration of all that has been and all that is to come.

Nothing is more french then lavander so we used it  everywhere, including on the steps of the gazebo where the couple stood to say their vows.

The tables were laid with antique sheet music and jars filled with a combination of ladies mantle, queen anne’s lace, scabiosa, freesia, craspedia, lavander and asters. They fit perfectly in the country garden setting.

The beautiful bridesmaids emerge from the house along with the bride in a lovely lace dress made by her future mother in law to be. The entire day was filled with a warm and inviting sense homemade love.

Nobody covers a wedding like Jenna and Tristan, these two are perfection and not only are their images perfection but as you can see Jenna can walk backwards for miles if it means capturing the perfect shot of the bride. I know that their images from this day will be spectacular, just like them!

Kathryn & Colin, I wish you many more music and love filled days together and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful day. Watching you two, watch each other today is one of the many reasons I do what I do.

What a truly lovely afternoon. An early summer day in the spectacular gardens of the beautiful English Inn and Resort was spent by myself and fantastic team of talent. This shoot was the inspiration of Adrienne from Pink Sugar Cupcakes. The theme was literature, antique paper and was coloured with a beautiful palette of soft creams, pale yellows, and golds, the tones added to the late afternoon sun light and cast a beautiful romantic glow over the whole scene.

The containers were wrapped with pages from antique books.

The stunning model and her lovely husband were prepped with the expert hands of Sharon Rai and the result was a stunning. She wore a beautiful headpieces made especially for the shoot by Tetrik Apparel and again incorporated pages from old books. The best part is that soon we will see how the magic of Karen McNeil and her beautiful eye captured the day and all the details. See Karen’s blog post here.

 

 

 

Yet another beautiful wedding held at the spectacular Sea Cider. Eva and her Mom came to visit us a few months ago to talk about her flowers for her wedding. We knew we would have a great time with her when we showed her a picture of a bridal bouquet made entirely out of herbs and she loved it!

Eva is not only an accomplished photographer she is also the coordinator of the Thrifty Food’s Demonstration Kitchen, so her appreciation of using things like herbs and blackberries in her bouquet thrilled us.

We created simple yet stunning arrangements of white asters and white lisianthus for the ceremony and lovely little bud vases filled with white lisianthus for the tables. We are eagerly awaiting the images from the uber-talented Helene Cyr. For now check out a sneek peak on her blog. Here are a few on Helen’s images of Eva’s beautiful bouquet.

Love the herb’s and berries….

And finally the tables
