Holly + Rodolfo: Niagara Winery Wedding at Inn on the Twenty
Posted September 28 2009
We absolutely love, love, love Niagara winery weddings … especially this time of year!
This weekend, Holly + Rodolfo were wed at Cave Spring Winery’s ‘Vineyard Retreat’ among the grape rows in the vineyard where some of Niagara’s best vintages begin!
After their wedding ceremony, Holly + Rodolfo invited their guests to an evening dinner reception in the Vintner’s Cellar at the nearby Inn on the Twenty on Main St. in Jordan Village.
The colour palette for the day was ‘Fire’ featuring shades of cherry, rust, pumpkin, chocolate and saffron. To achieve Holly’s look, we designed with dahlias, roses, hydrangeas, orchids and mango callas.
It was wonderful to be a part of Holly + Rodolfo’s wedding celebration … cheers!

The bridesmaid's bouquet ...
The wedding ceremony was supposed to be in the vineyard, but was changed to the Retreat at the last minute because the weather was not cooperating!
We loved these Fire centerpieces!
There's this creepy / cool grotto in the Vintner's Cellar ... I think it used to be a cistern for the original winery back in the 1800's.
We designed a Wishing Tree out of Manzanita branches in glass.
Mark designed the stationery on the tables ...
Allison + Tim: Niagara on the Lake Winery Wedding at Chateau des Charmes
Posted September 28 2009
This past weekend, Allison + Tim’s Niagara winery wedding ceremony and reception were celebrated at the famed Chateau des Charmes Winery in Niagara on the Lake.
Niagara winery weddings are fantastic this time of year … harvest is in full swing, grapes are being pressed daily, nature’s colours are so deep and rich … I absolutely love autumn in Niagara! But, I digress …
Allison’s colour palette was a little bit ‘Breeze’ with more emphasis on burgundy and cranberry. Very romantic and elegant for their outdoor winery wedding!
To accomplish the design for Allison + Tim’s Niagara on the Lake winery wedding, we used primarily dahlias, Bells of Ireland, purple lisianthus, Annabelle, Peegee and macrophylla hydrangeas and green pepperberries.
Best wishes to Allison + Tim … thanks for inviting us to be a part of making your Niagara wedding celebration memorable!
The bride’s bouquet was hand-tied (as all our bouquets are!) in mainly white and ivory with a touch of eggplant and green. Lots of little, delicate petals for her very detailed dress.
Allison + Tim were to get married out in the vineyard, but the weather was not cooperating so the winery’s tasting room was quickly set to accommodate the wedding ceremony! Yes, those are red grapes in there!
The reception centrepieces were a low full floral design of seasonal flowers set in a glass vessel.
We loved their cute little menus!
Amanda + Adam: Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort
Posted September 21 2009
We'd like to send our best wishes to Amanda + Adam who celebrated their wedding this past weekend at Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort … it was a blast putting this together for you!
Amanda’s colour palette featured royal purple, including vibrant shades of purple, black, white and accents of burgundy … a modern ‘Old World’ feel. It all looked stunning against the silver/black linens that were chosen for the room!
To achieve Amanda’s look, we used a few of the more eclectic floral elements including orchids, callas, lady slipper orchids, roses, dahlias and white anemones with black centres. There was lots of shimmering glass and candlelight as well!
We were thrilled to be a part of Amanda + Adam’s wedding day and we wish them all the best in their life together ... Cheers!
The bride's and bridesmaid's bouquets ... loving the ladyslipper orchids in Amanda's bouquet!
Amanda + Adam's wedding ceremony took place at the Casino also ... the scale of this room is absolutely enormous ... the pictures don't really do it justice! We really wanted to make the room feel smaller and more intimate ... so we created six of these twelve foot tall birch 'trees' that were dripping with orchids, glass jewels and candlelight.
Instead of the traditional 'Guest Book', there was this really cool 'typewriter' table where guests could leave their well wishes as a typed message to the bride and groom ... what a great idea!
The reception rooms ... again gianormous ... looked dramatic and stunning all decked out in silver and black with the royal purple hits coming from the flowers! I'm not even going to try to do it justice by using words ...
Erica + Demos: Niagara on the Lake Wedding at Riverbend Inn and Vineyard
Posted September 21 2009
Erica + Demos celebrated their outdoor wedding in Niagara on the Lake at one of our favourite wedding reception venues in Niagara on the Lake… Riverbend Inn and Vineyard!
Erica’s colour palette was ‘Fire’ which included tones of mocha, chocolate, saffron and cherry with hits of peach, ivory and celery green.
We designed this wedding using hydrangea, spray and garden roses, dahlias (a must at this time of year!), mango callas, magnolia and other bits of autumn goodness. We also raided our organic cutting garden for sedum ‘autumn joy’, peegee hydrangea and some raspberry foliage!
The feel could be described as ‘casual elegance’ … ethereal, romantic … a little off the beaten path!
Best wishes to Erica + Demos – thanks for letting us share in your big day!
Erica's gorgeous bride's bouquet …
Bridesmaid's bouquet …
The cutest little gazebo at the Riverbend in Niagara on the Lake … an awesome place for an outdoor wedding ceremony ... the view of the wineries and vineyards in the distance is spectacular!
The Fire colour palette looked perfect against the girls' chocolate dresses!
Here's the star of the show, our gorgeous bride Erica ... loving the texture on her dress!
After the ceremony, Erica + Demos hosted their guests to an outdoor dinner reception (under the tent, of course) at the crest of the vineyards overlooking the winery in the distance ... the sun setting slowly behind the graperows ... absolutely magical!
Each of their centerpieces were distinct and presented in a slightly different vessel ... they matched the mood and character of the day to perfection!
We also provided the stationery for the day ... including the Seating Chart and Table ID Cards. Thanks to Mark for the design and printing.

LCBO Food & Drink Magazine Feature
Posted September 14 2009
About a year ago we got a call from the fine folks at the LCBO to inquire as to whether we’d like to participate in a photo shoot that would be featuring 'harvest in Niagara' and four local up and coming chefs. We didn’t have to think twice … of course we’d do it!!!
A year of patiently waiting has passed and finally the latest issue of the LCBO’s Food & Drink Magazine (Autumn 2009) is now on the shelves … go quick and pick one up! If you flip to page 82, you’ll see our work in the delicious pics found in the ‘Platters of Plenty’ feature! (For the credit, you have to turn all the way to page 178 … but, hey, the pics look great!)
A special shout out to our good friends (and fellow Swish List Members) over at The Good Earth Cooking School ... check the same LCBO photo spread for Chef Isa's guide to making The Good Earth's scrumptious 'Gumbolaya'!
We're proud to play a small part in representing Niagara to the rest of Ontario and the world!
We designed a series of tall satellite pieces for the center of the harvest table ...
