Jen + Matt: Niagara Winery Wedding at Hernder Estate Winery
Posted October 26 2009
Jen + Matt’s Niagara wedding was a very special one for us to do …. not only are they a great couple who are madly in love, but we are blessed to have had Jen on staff here at the studio for the past two seasons!
Jen + Matt were wed at St. John’s Presbyterian Church in the escarpment town of Grimsby. St. John’s is a great old stone church that is celebrating 175 years of history.
After the ceremony, guests were invited to an evening dinner reception in the converted barn at Hernder Estate Winery in St. Catharines. The winery’s barn is a grand structure of stone, wood and glass and lends a very rustic feel to a wedding celebration in Niagara’s wine country.
All season long, Jen has been keeping track of her favourite flowers on a white board in the studio as each wedding passed through. Although we had a detailed list, Jen wanted us to ‘surprise her’, which was a lot of fun!
Jen’s colour palette was based on ‘Breeze’ in shades of purple, mauve and lavender with hits of fresh green added in. A modern vintage look that suited the space at Hernder perfectly!
Cheers to Jen + Matt … we’re so happy to have been part of your wedding celebration! It was a wonderful day indeed.
The bride and bridesmaid's bouquets …
St. John's is a great-looking stone church ...
We created a couple of these birch 'trees' dripping with orchids ...
We also attended the wedding, so Mark grabbed these great shots of the newly married couple just as they popped out of the church! Yes, Matt is a giant ... he's six foot seven inches tall!
The bridesmaids looking beautiful ...
For the reception, we created a mix of short and tall centrepieces spaced evenly in the room. The pewter linens were provided by Simply Beautiful Décor.
Behind the head table, we designed this backdrop of birch, glass, candle-lit lanterns and spot lighting ... in the evening, when the lights dimmed, it's looked absolutely stunning!
In the receiving area, Jen wanted one of our Manzanita Branch 'Wishing Trees' ...
Kara + Bryan: Niagara on the Lake Winery Wedding at Hillebrand Estates Winery
Posted October 19 2009
Kara + Bryan were married on a beautiful October Saturday afternoon at our absolute favourite old stone church in Niagara on the Lake – St. Mark’s Anglican Church!
Later in the evening, Kara + Bryan’s guests were invited to an exquisite evening dinner reception in the recently constructed Vineyard Pavillion at Hillebrand Estates Winery. The Vineyard Pavillion is one of the most beautiful new stone and wood structures in Niagara on the Lake … a real hidden gem of a place for a wedding reception!!!
Kara’s colour palette was ‘Breeze’ in shades of purple, mauve and magenta with hits of fresh green and champagne..
To put it all together, we designed Kara’s flowers using calla lilies, hydrangeas, standard and garden roses, orchids, dahlias, lady slipper orchids and toad lilies freshly harvested from our own organic cutting garden here at the studio!
Cheers and best wishes to Kara + Bryan … it was a pleasure to be part of your day!
The bride’s bouquet …
St. Mark’s is a gorgeous stone church in Niagara on the Lake that dates back to 1792 … before Canada was even a nation!
We were able to snap some casual pics of the newly married couple exiting the church after the ceremony … picture the church bells ringing out and joyous applause in the background! The look on Kara's face just says it all!!!
We love the Vineyard Pavillion at Hillebrand Estates Winery … this was our first time here, but oh how we want to come back!
Carmen + Andy: Niagara Wedding at Inn on the Twenty
Posted October 19 2009
Carmen + Andy were wed this past weekend and celebrated their Niagara wedding ceremony at the historic (and oh-so-cute!) Balls Falls Chapel in Niagara’s Twenty Valley region.
After their wedding chapel ceremony, Carmen + Andy hosted an evening dinner reception for their guests in the Windows Room at the nearby Inn on the Twenty on Main Street in quaint Jordan Village.
Their wedding colour palette was ‘Shade’ featuring blue hydrangea, burgundy cordeline, white roses, green amaranthus and callas. We also found these really spectacular white mini pumpkins which added a really seasonal eclectic touch to the reception centerpieces!
A beautiful day for a beautiful couple!
The girl’s bouquets …
The Balls Falls Chapel is the cutest little wedding chapel in Niagara …
The Windows Room overlooks the Twenty Valley below Balls Falls ... it's a spectacular view in the autumn!
We created this Manzanita branch 'Wishing Tree' for Carmen + Andy's guests to leave their well-wishes for the newly married couple!
Jennifer + Clayton: Niagara on the Lake Wedding at Pillar and Post
Posted October 13 2009
Jennifer + Clayton celebrated their outdoor Niagara on the Lake wedding ceremony in the Rose Garden at the Pillar and Post Hotel. It was the most perfect day to be married outside … the colours are amazing and the temperature was just right!!!
After the ceremony, their guests were invited to the Upper Canada Room for cocktails and an evening dinner reception.
The colour palette for the day was ‘Fire’ featuring shades of burgundy, red, rust, chocolate and cherry. To achieve Jennifer’s look, we designed with callas, roses, hydrangeas, sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ (from our own organic cutting garden!), orchids, magnolia and bare curly willow.
We absolutely love Niagara on the Lake weddings in autumn and this one was no exception! Thanks to Jennifer + Clayton for letting us share in their big day!
The bride and bridesmaid's bouquets …
Jennifer + Clayton's wedding ceremony took place mid-afternoon in the Rose Garden at Pillar and Post ... just beautiful!
The girls looked gorgeous in their satin bordeaux knee length dresses!
The Upper Canada Room looked amazing all decked out in the tones of ‘Fire’.
Yes, those are cranberries ... how perfect, right?!?!
Caroline + Jason: Niagara on the Lake Wedding at the Vintage Hotels
Posted October 13 2009
Caroline + Jason were married on a beautiful autumn Saturday afternoon at one of the finest Niagara on the Lake wedding venues, the Atrium at Queen’s Landing!
After their wedding ceremony, Caroline + Jason hosted an exquisite evening dinner reception for their guests at the nearby Prince of Wales Hotel in the heart of Niagara on the Lake.
The ‘look and feel’ was simple, clean, vintage … understated and soft. The colour palette was Glow in shades of white, ivory, butter, lemon and a touch of fresh green.
We designed Caroline’s flowers using garden roses, white hydrangeas, white mini callas, and anemones.
Cheers and best wishes to Caroline + Jason … it was a pleasure to be part of your day!
The bride’s bouquet …
The wedding ceremony in the Atrium was 'in the round' ... we used our Shepherd's Hooks indoor to mark the aisle!
Here's a few shots of the reception room at Prince of Wales ...
