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.

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

The ceremony and reception took place at the beautifully relaxed and scenic Starling Lane Winery. The ceremony spot was marked with an antique table and some fabulous white orchid plants we stuffed into rustic looking galvanized metal buckets set on top of wine barrels.

Siobhan and Ian wanted a very relaxed atmosphere for their day, a fun celebration for close friends and family to recognize the love and joy they have brought to each others lives. Because words are a very important part of their lives,  a special part of the day was to be a couple of old typewriters set up in the old greenhouse for guests to write their thoughts and wishes for the newlyweds.

We have heard that the party was fabulous with dancing to the wee hours and kids who didn’t want to go home. Starling Lane has so much to look at; gardens, chickens and old buildings, that it is just a perfect venue for anyone looking for a laid back, country vibe.

We are so happy to have been a part of the day and to help bring to fruition the vision for this couple.

Wow, how thrilled are we to be featured in the Fall/Winter edition of Weddingbells magazine! Check out the photos by the amazingly talented Karen McNeil of the sweetest couple in the world.  Britt and Ryan got married last summer in the sunflower filled back yard of her parents surrounded by close friends and family with lots of details and small touches that made the day unique and reflected their personalities beautifully.

We loved working with Britt and Ryan not only because they are two of the nicest people that you will ever meet, but also because we work with Ryan weekly, as he and his family own and operate Mt. Newton Greenhouses, which happens to be our supplier of all things floral.
