Two of our most favorite people in the whole world, and without a doubt two of the most talented photographers we and many others have had the pleasure of working with got married today. What a day it was! The sun shone and the autumn leaves seemed to shimmer with extra brilliance as Tristan Shouldice  married Jenna Tye under the garry oak tree’s in the garden of the beautiful Fireside Grill. Much will be recorded, written, photographed and blogged about this wedding as the room was filled with some of the best wedding photographers around. Not only were we lucky enough to be able to do the floral design for this wedding but both of our family’s attended with Vanessa’s daughter Lily as the flower girl /”photographer in training”. Lily and Kai, the ringbearer, got swept up in the photographer energy and a little photoshoot for themselves.
 We will be absolutely thrilled and honoured to have a record of this wedding included in our gallery as it was photographed by the genius eye’s of Ben Chrisman and Erin Reed, international wedding photographers from San Fransisco. As Jenna so eloquently put it tonight in her speech, these two “taught her how to see”. The dinner and party was “sound-tracked” by the best in the business Party People Sound Solutions, Angus is bar none the best DJ around. Of course we had to get ourselves looking ship shape for this “wedding of the year” so the lovely hands and make-up artistry of Mel Baird transformed us before we headed off. There is a reason she is booked every single weekend of the wedding season. We have watched Mel transform many of the same brides we have worked with, and we now gladly have the ability to personally reccomend her to all our brides. Below is a record of our floral journey from buckets to bouquets and centrepieces, only this time our pictures feature more of the people as they should. We believe that the flowers speak for themselves and our record is but one of many that will be shared of this day. Thank you to both Jenna and Tristan, our hearts were in every arrangement that surrounded you today!

This was a special wedding for us to be a part of as the beautiful bride was Vanessa’s daughter’s teacher. The wedding took place on a beautiful sunny BC day at the Church and State Winery in Brentwood Bay BC. We chose to go with the classic white and green palatte and used the idea of clustering different sizes of vases filled with arrangements of one kind of flower; alstromeria, lisianthus, roses and the orchids were placed in great little bud vases that looked like sea urchins. The large arrangements at the ceremony site were just complements to the fabulous old garry oak tree that Judith and Mike were married under. We will be using this wedding in our gallery once we get the photos from Amy Khangura. Best wishes and lots of love to a beautiful new couple!

 We met with Kathrin way back in January and have been planning this wedding with her ever since, so to see it finally come to life was awesome. The ceremony took place at the English Inn and the reception was at the beautiful and regal Victoria Golf Club, one of the most elegant dining rooms in the city. Kathrin asked for pink, pink, and more pink. We created lush arrangements with roses, lisianthus and lily’s in an english country garden style. We used both tall arrangements on Eiffel tower vases and short ones, which created a very dramatic effect. The main piece and the one we talked about the most, was the extraordinary mantle arrangement that we built on site. We covered it in mounds of pink and white flowers, it was a spectacular addition to the room. We look forward to seeing how the incomparable Helene Cyr’s captured the day for a sneek peek of what she captured check out her blog here…Helene Cyr…. Thank you to Kathrin and Ian, we will miss the emails!

The whole event was masterfully doccumented by CJ Scott and recently it was chosen as a feature fot the latest edition of WedLuxe. Congratualations to CJ for being published and we are thrilled that our little Verbena is gracing the pages of such beautiful magazine. Check out the spread here: Kristen & David
