Last year we did the flowers for a beautiful couple from Vancouver Kristen and David. Thier wedding took place on a beautiful sunny afternoon at the Villa Marco Polo and we decorated the Italian garden with hundreds of bright green and orange cymbidium orchids. 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

Shelley and Blair were fantastic! They were keen to have a “riot” of colour and we were happy to oblige. Shelley asked for bright and bold blooms for her bouquet and handed us a challenge with the addition of strings of orchid blooms to her bouquet. They were married in the Lokier Gardens with a reception at the Uplands Glof Club to follow. We were thrilled to catch Shelley and her bridesmaids as they were getting ready to leave the Villa Marco Polo where they were having their pictures taken by the extremely talented Keri Coles. Thank you Shelley for allowing us to snap a few pictures of you for our records. Everyone looked beautiful, the cascading blooms of orchids looked perfect against the subtle beading detail of Shelleys gown and the bright pinks, oranges and greens of the bridesmaids bouquets really  ”popped” with the pewter coloured dresses that they wore. The guys looked brilliant in their celedon green vests and ties. We very much look forward to seeing the “real” thing through the lens of Keri! Check out her blog with a bit of a sneek peek  http://www.kericoles.com/blog Thank you again Shelley and Blair it was a treat for us to work with you!

This was such a great wedding to be a part of. Orchestrated and catered by Feys & Hobbs, this lovely intimate wedding was held in the spectacular garden of the Villa Marco Polo, on a beautiful sunny evening in May. The bride is from Namibia and the groom from right here in Victoria. We were totally up for the challenge when she gave us the most spectacular porcupine quills and polka dot feathers from guinea fowl that she had brought with her from Namibia, to be incorporated in to the floral decor. We also flanked the entrance arch with both Namibian and Canadian flags. The table centres were “tablescapes” with rocks and driftwood collected from local beaches, a spectacular dome of creamy white roses and small pots of baby tears all surrounded with candles. The fabulous Gillian Davidson was the photographer and we wait with anticipation of her images. In the mean time here is a sneak peek of the day.

Back in August we worked with a wonderful couple, Kristen & David who were married in the garden at the beautiful Villa Marco Polo. Their incredibly talented photographer CJ Scott of Victoria submitted her work to Bride.ca, and was chosen to be featured as a Real Wedding on the website. Thus our work makes its way around the world wide web!
