Secret Garden continued….
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.
This beautiful wedding of a beautiful couple took place over labour day weekend. This wedding was one we had looked forward to all year, because everytime autumn rolls around we are both reminded at how much we love this time of year with all it’s faboulous colours and textures. The entire wedding was a warm and wonderful affair filled with family and friends. We set up our little work station in the bride’s parent’s garage and spent the day before building the arrangements on site. We relished in the opportunity to witness the couple and their family and friends working towards creating this day. Our flower choices were easy, with sunflowers being the star attraction. We created table centrepices using small arrangements designed in mason jars and filled them with combinations of dahlias, calla lily’s, solidago an buplereum. The 2 large arrangements that flanked the pergola (a gift from the grooms parents) where the ceremony took place were filled with limelight hydrangea’s, sunflowers, fiber optic grass, and dahlia’s. The brides grandmother had a collection of old Roger’s sugar buckets that we filled with the same mix of flowers. The bridal bouquet was a perfect mix of burnt oranges, yellows, and greens using a mix of calla’s, roses, dahlia’s, freesia, hypericum, and buplereum, all wrapped up in a satin green ribbon. We just adored this couple and are thrilled they asked us to be a part of their day and to stay for the ceremony. This post is a record of the creation and set up photographed by our good friend, Jenna. For a view of the finished product and pictures of the couple check out Karen McNeil and her blog post.

Judith & Mike August 02, 2009
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!

Emily & Beau Sea Cider June 12th, 2009
Another magical day for a wedding at Sea Cider that we were thrilled to be a part of. Emily and Beau were married in the evening on June 12th while looking out over the view from the deck in the ciderhouse. The couple, from New Zealand, had flown in a few days prior and the day could not have been more perfect for them. Once again we met and planned with Emily over lots of emails and a few spotty calls back and forth. We chose to go with a rustic, west coast elegant theme, using several different kinds of textural folliage and filler. Waxflower, buplereum, pittisporum and salal were the base of all the table centres and they were accented with beautiful soft apricot roses. The tables were set with the most extrordinary individual sets of antique china that the brides mother has been lovingly collecting over the years. Between the china, roses, shells and driftwood the tables looked fantastic and the tent was simply stunning. . The large arrangements flanking the ceremony site were overflowing with light green Annabelle hydrangeas, soft white lisianthus and whispy fiber optic grass. Emily’s bouquet was a perfect posy of lush white and soft pink peonies accented with the clean elegant lines of lavendar calla lilies, and white orchids. Her bridesmaids carried small posies with similar blooms including the highlights of soft apricot spray roses. Our lovely friend Margaret joined us on Thursday in our studio to lend her talented hands to the 21 centrepieces we made. How lucky we were to have our talented and beloved friend Jenna Tye follow us to capture the floral journey from start to finish. The abundently talented Christine Smart coordinated the event and was the magic touch that made things go so smoothly for us as we arrived to set up. Thank you Christine! Truffles expertly catered and executed the dinner and drinks for the evening. We can’t wait to see photos of the beautiful Emily in her dress and more images of the entire day captured by Erica Chan, check out her blog teaser. Thank you to both Emily and Beau we wish you much love and hapiness.
