WedLuxe Magazine Feature - Winter/Spring 2010
Posted November 30 2009
Back in the early autumn, WedLuxe Magazine contacted us to design one of our signature bridal bouquets for a photo feature in their next Toronto & Eastern Canada issue.
On Friday, we attended a cocktail reception to receive our '2008 Canadian Wedding Floral Designer of the Year' and WedLuxe publisher Angela Desveaux gave us an advance copy of the next issue. You're getting a sneak peak as the issue doesn't hit store shelves until December 14th!
We're so excited to have our bouquet featured on page 82 in The One feature spread of the Winter/Spring 2010 issue! You can check out the full-sized spread in the 'PRESS' section of our website.
It's really one of those magazines that feels more like a fine art photography book ... I suggest picking up the latest edition at your local Chapters / Indigo (and checking out page 82!).
2009 Homes of Distinction Winter House Tour
Posted November 20 2009
This weekend is the first ever Homes of Distinction Winter House Tour in support of Niagara Life Centre! We're excited to have donated our time and materials to decorate one of the six houses on the tour.
The Leyenhorst home is a rustic manor that is proud of it's family heritage, featuring beams and hardwood floors milled from the property’s black walnut trees. In keeping with the home's character, we wanted the feel of our pieces to be ultra-natural ... almost as if they were a permanent part of the decor. We were also determined to use as much local and in-season product as possible.
Design Ingredients:
• Produce: local cauliflower, local apples, local chestnuts, cabbage, brussel sprouts, red mini potatoes and leeks.
• Foliages + Wood: bay, boxwood, carolina saphire, incense cedar, green dogwood, birch logs and curly willow.
• Flowers: hydrangeas, amaryllis and mokara orchids
Enjoy the pics!

Lisbeth + Anthony: Niagara on the Lake Wedding at the Vintage Hotels
Posted November 09 2009
Lisbeth + Anthony hold the distinction of being our last couple for the 2009 Niagara wedding season! It’s been another fantastic season and we’ve intentionally blocked out the rest of the year to enjoy a change of pace and bring some balance back into our lives!
Lisbeth + Anthony were married on the most beautiful late autumn Saturday afternoon and later welcomed their guests to an evening dinner reception at one of our favourite Niagara on the Lake wedding venues, Queen’s Landing!
Lisbeth’s wedding colour palette was ‘Breeze’ featuring shades of purple, mulberry and blush with an accent of white and dark green. The ‘look and feel’ was classic and modern vintage.
To achieve Lisbeth’s look, we used hydrangeas, roses, lisianthus, orchids, callas, berries and dark foliages. Each centerpiece was wrapped with curly willow to soften the container and add to the vintage feel!
We wish Lisbeth + Anthony all the best as they start the journey of marriage in this next chapter of their lives … it was a pleasure to be part of your day!
The bride’s bouquet …
We created this Manzanita branch 'Wishing Tree' in the Atrium ...
The reception centerpieces looked great in the Grand Georgian Ballroom at Queen's Landing!
