Andrea + Jeff: Wed in Niagara on the Lake Wine Country
Posted by Jennifer on August 09 2010
What a weekend for love!!! The weather was near perfect, the venues and vendors we worked with were amazing and, if you don't mind us saying, the flowers were fantastic as well!! ;)
Calgarians Andrea + Jeff were married in the Rose Garden at Pillar and Post and later that evening hosted a celebratory dinner reception in the Grand Georgian Ballroom at Queen's Landing in Niagara on the Lake ... two fine choices indeed!
Andrea's colour palette was a version of our Shade palette augmented with accents of grey/pewter and featuring hits of chocolate and deep purply burgundy ... cool, refreshing, upscale gardeny look with attitude!
Thanks to Andrea + Jeff for indulging our passion for their wedding flowers ... best wishes!!!
Andrea's bouquet featured some cascading Amaranthus and we hand-tied in the lace detailing on the stem. The bouquet also featured raspberry, mint, lavender and fern fronds from our organic cutting gardens here at the studio!
The wedding ceremony in the Rose Garden at Pillar and Post featured our Grapevine Arbour, Shepherd's Hooks lining the aisle (with rose petals!) and twin oversized floral arrangements flanking the altar area.
Lately we're loving how Parasols are showing up at the wedding ceremony ... form and function!
The wedding party looked totally amazing ... tried our best to get some good photos, but had to dance around both the official photographer and the cinematographers!!
And finally our modelicious bride Andrea and her father ... about to escort her down the aisle!!
In the Grand Georgian Ballroom, we created a birch and willow canopy under which the head table was placed ... all lit up with soft glowing lantern and flood lights, it was ammmmmazing ... wish we coulda dined under there!
The guest tables featured our full floral centerpieces with Simply Beautiful Décor providing the crystal globe lanterns, chargers, linens and chiavari chairs.
In the Atrium (which was the cocktail area) under the giant chandelier we created this big conversation piece from cork, large slabs of walnut tree, willow and a plethora of flowers and candlelight!
These absolutely delicious cupcakes and wedding cake were designed by the talented team at Vineyard Sweets ... as beautiful to taste as they are to look at!

Wedding Ceremony Flowers and Church Decor: Part 2
Posted by Jennifer on May 10 2010
We're often asked if we can create a Chuppah / Mandap / Canopy suitable for modern wedding ceremonies and receptions ... of course we can!
If your wedding ceremony or reception requires a Chuppah, Mandap or Canopy, we’ve got you covered … literally! Our unique custom-made frame is a flexible, one-of-a-kind design which allows us to build any style onto it … birch logs, curly willow, fabric, etc. From the base design, we can add flowers, foliages, hanging candles, lanterns and more!
Continuing our look at some of our most requested options, let's talk about custom chuppahs, canopies and grapevine arbours!
We created this birch log canopy for a wedding 'ceremony-in-the-round' ... the bride walked through the spiral of chairs to the centre where she met her groom under the canopy!
Later in the evening, the ceremony canopy became a cozy seating area for guests to relax chat away from the dance floor ...
Claire + Jeremy were married under our curly willow chuppah in the Imperial Ballroom at Queen's Landing ...
Marilyn + Joe were married under a beautiful willow canopy in the Atrium at one of the finest Niagara on the Lake wedding venues, the ever classy Queen’s Landing!
We created this outdoor 'seating and conversation canopy' for Brad + Kevin's wedding at The Good Earth Cooking School and Food Company ... guests cozied up under it throughout the evening and into the wee hours!
For Heather and Josh's wedding reception, we fashioned our custom birch canopy into a sort of ‘sweet-heart’ table covering … the bride and groom were parked underneath it and their wedding party kind of spilled out from there! Later in the evening, the tables came down and a delicious old-school ‘candy buffet’ was setup under the candle-lit branches!
Moya + David's Niagara nuptials were celebrated outdoors in the Cave Spring Vineyard
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! 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!
Vintage Hotels Wedding Show 2010 Recap
Posted by Jennifer on February 22 2010
This past weekend we participated in the Vintage Hotels Wedding Show once again ... it's the only show we're doing this year and it was a lot of fun!
We design a lot of Niagara on the Lake weddings at the Vintage Hotels each season ... we love working with Stephanie, Jennifer, Savannah, Peggy, Karen and all the amazing staff at Queen's Landing, Pillar and Post and Prince of Wales Hotels! Aside from meeting new clients at the show, an important part of the day for us is connecting with the many talented Niagara wedding professionals that gather annually at this show. We're so proud to be associated with such a talented pool of wedding vendors!
This year, our booth featured our 'Glow' colour palette under our canopy in the Grand Georgian Ballroom at Queen's Landing. Glow is a sunny and mellow yellow, lemon and vanilla palette that our brides are loving!
Here's our booth ... one of the many incarnations of our Canopy / Mandap / Chuppah! We constructed our canopy with birch logs and fabric and then covered it with a thatched roof of wispy curly willow and ruscus foliage. Thanks to Simply Beautiful Décor for the linen covering our table!
We did samples of three different bride's bouquets in the 'Glow' palette ... I love the custom button detailing on these! Everybody wondered what the little yellow 'ball' flowers were ... they're mimosa!
We created these 'birch log candles' out of some left over pieces of birch log we had kicking around the studio ...
We tucked a few of these cute little succulents and hens 'n chicks into the nooks and crannies ...
We incorporated a couple of our custom Shepherd's Hooks at the corners ... these are a favourite for use as aisle décor at wedding ceremonies!
Heather + Josh: Niagara on the Lake Wedding at Queen’s Landing
Posted by Jennifer on August 24 2009
Heather + Josh were married in an afternoon wedding ceremony at the stunning and historic St. Mark’s Anglican Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Afterward, their guests were invited for cocktails and an evening reception at one of our favourite Niagara-on-the-Lake wedding venues, the Grand Georgian Ballroom at Queen’s Landing (one of the Vintage Hotels).
Heather’s color palette was a bit of a cross between Glow and Forest … soft lemon and buttery yellow with accents of fresh green and chocolate.
We worked with a variety of flowers and design elements to achieve Heather’s look, including garden roses, orchids, hydrangeas, amaranthus, dahlias, plenty of birch branches and wheat … an organic, natural ‘earthy’ feel!
Thanks to Heather + Josh for letting us share in their Niagara-on-the-Lake wedding celebrations … best wishes to you two!
The girls’ bouquets … soft, buttery and warm!
St. Mark’s is a ‘picture-perfect’ church … perhaps the best historic ceremony venue in Niagara-on-the-Lake!
Our signature wedding ceremony alter arrangements … these always provide so much impact!
Guests were seated at long tables in a fashion comparable to a large ‘picnic’ … a nice break from the typical round table set-up! Table linens and Chiavari chairs provided by Simply Beautiful Décor.
Our custom birch canopy was fashioned into a sort of ‘sweet-heart’ table covering … the bride and groom were parked underneath it and their wedding party kind of spilled out from there! Later in the evening, the tables came down and a delicious old-school ‘candy buffet’ was setup under the candle-lit branches!

Brad + Kevin at The Good Earth
Posted by Jennifer on June 22 2009
Brad + Kevin's intimate Niagara wedding ceremony took place this weekend at one of the great hidden gems you can only find in Niagara's wine country ... The Good Earth Cooking School and Food Company!
What can we say ... The Good Earth is definitely an experience you must have at least once! It's so much more than just a haven for foodies and Brad + Kevin couldn't have picked a better venue for their upscale backyard BBQ-style wedding and reception.
It was perfect weather for an outdoor wedding ceremony right in the heart of Niagara's wine country ... we loved every detail! Casual yet sophisticated ... relaxed but luxe in it's own way!
The tent was setup with two long rows of tables and so we chose to design satellite 'tablescape' arrangements that worked in concert with each other (as opposed to the traditional 'centerepiece' style of arrangement).
Plenty of ambience from these 'almost country' Mason jar candle holders and many hanging lanterns!
One of the big features of the ambience was the casual sitting area we created using birch branches and our oh-so-versatile canopy frame! We accented the space with some custom tailored pillows and throws to keep their guests cozy in the evening!
There were no bouquets, but the guys wore these cute boutonnieres we designed!
