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.

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.

 

 

 

It is a special day when the talents of so many come together and create a fantastic wedding shoot. That is exactly what happened today. We shot this bounty of beauty at a stunning equestrian estate just outside the city. We started with what I consider to be one of the most beautiful flowers, the peony and chose the vibrant “coral charm” and ran from there. What resulted was nothing short of spectacular. These images are no where close to the magic that Richard and Amy McDowell from Red Leaf Studios, created today however. It gives you a taste.

The incredible team at Crumbsy’s Cupcake Cafe made the beautiful cake, cookies and cupcakes for our sweets table

Dan and Micayla from The London Chef, a fantastic catering and cooking school on Fort Street provided some amazing appetizers for our food display.

Tamara Radick of InHabit Designs did an incredible job of all the stationary and branding, and we used the double horseshoes everywhere.

 

 

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….
