Posted August 09 2010   |  1 comment

Kimberly + Dean's bright and sunny Niagara on the Lake wedding day featured fab yellow florals in our Glow colour palette ... a perfect match for Kimberly's cheery personality!

It was a classic romantic affair ... the wedding ceremony was held in the Atrium and the evening dinner reception followed in the Imperial Ballroom ... all on-site at Queen's Landing in lovely Niagara on the Lake, Ontario!

Cheers to love!

Kimberly's bridal bouquet ... in shades of sunny to mellow yellow!


The matching bridesmaids bouquets ... also in yellow.


The ceremony in the Atrium featured our custom-made Shepherd's Hooks lining the aisle with twin oversized floral arrangements flanking the altar ...



The centerpieces were all raised up on hand-blown glass pedestals ...



Our resident wedding stationery guru Mark designed the menus and place cards for the tables ...

Dana + Anthony's Wedding at The Granite Club in Toronto

Posted August 02 2010   |  Leave a Comment ...

This weekend we assembled the Team and hit the road for a chance to work with coordinator Machel Reeves again and stage the flowers for Dana + Anthony's wedding reception at Toronto's famous Granite Club (sidebar ... The Granite Club is one of Toronto's oldest and largest private athletic country clubs ... stunning interior spaces replete with art gallery!).

To achieve Dana + Anthony's 'look', we worked with a bold palette of pink, magenta and deep raspberry mokara orchids and garden roses offset with antique green and crisp snow-white hydrangeas. These mono-botanical arrangements still managed to maintain a really soft feel to them ... even with all the squeaky clean glass and symmetrical lines.

Our best wishes go out to Dana + Anthony ... cheers to love, life and wedded bliss!!!

We designed two bouquets for our bride Dana ... one was more soft blush pinks the other was bold and beautiful hues of deep pink and magenta. She loved them both! In the end, Dana opted to carry the bold and beautiful bouquet down the aisle ... coordinator Machel texted us from the ceremony to give us the scoop!!!



Bride's Bouquet No. 2 ... a softer, more classic feel.



The bridesmaids bouquets ...



The Grand Ballroom at The Granite Club is a large space with high ceilings ... the height of these centerpieces helps to make the space more intimate and 'bring the ceiling down', as it were.

Our good friend Nicolette and her band of merry food alchemists over at The Good Earth Food and Wine Co. launched their first ever cookbook this weekend! We're so happy and excited for them!!!

We jumped at the chance to flex our creative muscles and come up with some funky, fresh, foodie-themed flower arrangements for the cookbook launch party! So ... where to start? We went to the market of course!!

We came back to the studio with our mitts full of raw ingredients like okra, spring onions, jalapeno peppers, swiss chard, potatoes and raddishes ... and then proceeded to marry them with flowers. How apropos!! Check out the pics below ...

'The Good Book' is pumped full of delicious Niagara delights AND it's a beauty to look at with mouth-watering photos of each recipe (some of the 'mood' images were taken by our close pal and uber talented photog Nataschia Wielink) ... be sure to pick one up!

Dahlias and Swiss Chard ...


Shampoo Maracas and Okra ...


Cobra Lillies and Spring Onions ...


Fire-Engine Red Dahlias and Mini-Tomatoes ...


Yellow Dahlias and Jalapeno Peppers ...

Posted August 02 2010   |  Leave a Comment ...

Christine + David's yummy yellow and grey themed wedding took place under the tent at Chateau des Charmes Winery in Niagara on the Lake this holiday long weekend! What a beautiful day it was to celebrate Niagara nuptials ... love was in the air and not humidity!!

The colour palette of the flowers was yellow with hits of lime green and the punch was provided by the pewtery grey linens and black chair covers ... mod glamour with a rustic touch!

Our congratulations to Christine + David … thanks for choosing us to be a part of making your Niagara wedding celebration memorable!

These Gardenias in Christine's bouquet smelled amazing! They're so dainty and delicate ...






The tall centerpieces ... mix of birch branches and full florals ... helped scale the size of the tent and bring some weight to the reception space!
