Melissa + Matt's Niagara nuptials took place among the beautiful vineyards of the Beamsville Bench in the Cave Spring Vineyard Retreat ... a thunderstorm threatened to soak the guests in the Vineyard right at ceremony time, so it was quickly moved indoors!
The always lovely 'Glow' was the colour palette du jour! For Melissa + Matt's flowers, we focused particularly on shades of yellow and ivory that were accented with grey and cobalt blue in the girl's dresses, shoes and accessories.
We used words like round, tidy, fresh, vintage, modern, simple to describe the look and feel we were aiming for. To achieve Melissa's look, we incorporated hydrangeas, gerberas, garden roses, spray roses, looped curly willow and funky craspedia blooms into the bouquets and centerpieces.
Congratulations again Melissa + Matt ... it was a pleasure to design the flowers for your beautiful wedding!
This closeup of the bride's bouquet gives you a good idea of the colour palette we were working with ... soft and mellow yellows, ivory and champagne!

The soft yellow bride's and bridesmaids bouquets ...yummy garden roses and the yellow 'pokey' balls are called craspedia ... I know you wanted to know!


The ceremony was quickly moved into the Vineyard Retreat due to the impending clouds of doom that quickly descended on the vineyard about 20 minutes before the ceremony!


This young lady took her job as flower girl very seriously ... she had the right idea with the fan ... it was stinkin' hot!

The girls looked amazing in their pewter dresses and cobalt blue shoes!




The centrepieces sat perfectly on the pewter runners ... yellow looks so good in The Windows Room at Inn on the Twenty!



Details, details ... it's all about the details!

Happy (belated) Canada Day! It was certainly a weekend of gorgeousness ... if the warm summer air, BBQ with your besties and fireworks display wasn't enough, then you’ve come to the right place for your floral fix!
This pretty Bliss palette we used for Jessica + Dan's wedding was infused with soft blush pink, light peache and medium orange tones and embodies modern vintage at its finest … a perfect palette for all those summer weddings!
Jessica + Dan's Niagara winery wedding ceremony took place in the Cave Spring vineyards followed by an intimate reception in the Winemaker's Cellar at Inn on the Twenty in Jordan.
We're a little short on pictures this week, but we managed to put together this little collage of beauty from Jessica + Dan's wedding ... enjoy!

We fell in love with the dramatic romance of red wedding flowers all over again this past weekend! We like to call it ... Passion.
Krista + Scott enlisted us to design their wedding flowers in shades of deep red, burgundy and raspberry. It was an intimate affair (just 50 or 60 guests), but Krista wanted us to make a statement with tall and distinct pieces. The reception was held in the Vintner's Cellar at Inn on the Twenty ... we love it when we can work with an interesting space! If you ever get the chance, be sure to take in the 19th century brick cistern turned wine cellar that is adjacent the Vintner's Cellar ... kinda creepy/cool.
To achieve the drama Krista + Scott required, we used some equally dramatic flowers ... including mokara and cymbidium orchids, nerine lilies, protea, anthurium and aralia leaves and some really amazing red hydrangea blooms!
It was wonderful to be a part of Krista + Scott's celebration … cheers and best wishes to you!
Setting the stage ... here's an idea of the colour / texture palette we were working with ... can't get enough of those gorgeous garden roses!

The bride’s bouquet … definitely one of our favourites so far this year!


We created a couple of these giant arrangements for the wedding ceremony at the Vineyard Retreat and then transferred them on to a couple of wine barrels at the Vintner's Cellar ... they looked unbelievably amazing in the room!


We were excited to debut our new custom-made wrought iron 'trees' for Krista + Scott's centerpieces ... talk about dramatic! For this incarnation of the 'trees', the branches dripped with panicles of red Mokara Orchids and candlelight.


Probably the most dramatic feature of the day were these two massive curly willow trees we designed for the lobby and bar areas of the cellar. Each of the 'trees' was over 6 feet tall and 3 - 4 feet across and dripped with orchids and glass lanterns to compliment the table centerpieces.

This weekend, Angeline + Matt 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, Angeline + Matt welcomed their guests to an evening dinner reception in The Windows Room at the nearby Inn on the Twenty on Main St. in Jordan Village.
The colour palette for the day was ‘Forest’ featuring mainly shades of fresh green and white with a small hit of butter. To achieve a soft 'local Niagara' feel, we designed with plenty of white hydrangeas, orchids and peonies. We also added some items from our studio's organic cutting gardens including Japanese Painted Fern fronds, Lady's Mantle blooms and fresh mint foliage. Elements included birch logs, green globe grapes and poppy pods.
It was wonderful to be a part of Angeline + Matt's wedding celebration … cheers!
This close-up gives you a good idea of the 'look and feel' of the Forest colour palette ...

The bride’s bouquet …


The bridesmaids wore Emerald Green and carried smaller versions of Angeline's bouquet ...

Angeline + Matt were married out in the spring vineyards with the vista of the Niagara Escarpment in the distance ... the rain held off and it was a perfect afternoon for an outdoor winery wedding ceremony!




Our custom-made wrought iron Shepherd's Hooks lined the aisle ... they looked fantastic against the backdrop of the white Chiavari Chairs!


The head table was designed in 'tablescape' fashion, with multiple satellite floral pieces, birch logs, green globe grapes, strands of ivy and loads of candlelight!


These gorgeous full floral centerpieces looked absolutely perfect against the linens and white Chiavari chairs provided by Simply Beautiful Decor.



Our stationery guru put together the matching Place Cards and Seating Plan using the colours and fonts Angeline + Matt had chosen for their wedding invitations!

We absolutely love, love, love Niagara winery weddings … and you can't go wrong celebrating your wedding at Inn on the Twenty on Main St. in Jordan Village!
Megan and Tim were married on Saturday afternoon just down the street at St. John's Anglican Church ... a gorgeous and stately 160 year old stone church with as much history as our country itself!
The colour palette for the day was our cheerful ‘Glow’ featuring shades of yellow, white and punctuated with shots of fresh green. We used garden roses, orchids and camomile to achieve the look!
Best wishes to Megan and Tim as they begin their married life together … thanks for letting us be part of your day!
The bride’s 'Glow' themed yellow bouquet …


The bridesmaid's bouquet ... love the fabric detailing that we created by using a piece of the fabric Megan's mom had sewn for use as overlays!


The beautiful St. John's Church halfway up the Niagara escarpment in Jordan ...



A couple of our signature ceremony arrangements flanked the altar ...


Our custom Shepherd's Hooks are flexible enough to be used along the church aisle or at the entrance ... inside or out!


Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great ... but our bride and groom made the most of it! Aren't the flower girls adorable with their chic little parasols?!?!?
