Kendra + Miles at Riverbend Inn & Vineyard

Posted by Jennifer on August 23 2010

This weekend we were so excited to design the flowers for Kendra + Miles' destination wedding at Riverbend Inn & Vineyard in Niagara on the Lake! Kendra and Miles have Canadian roots, but both now call London, UK home.

We haven't had a chance to work at the Riverbend since last wedding season, but it is definitely one of our fave wedding venues in Niagara on the Lake. The views across the vineyards are simply spectacular ... as is the gorgeous Inn itself! We were also loving the crisp and clean pale blue, deep eggplant and lavender colour palette ... it was simply delicious and suited the environs to absolute perfection!

There's just something so special about an outdoor wedding in Niagara's wine country ... you can't put words to it ... you just have to experience it for yourself.

Our congratulations to Kendra + Miles ... we wish you many blessings in your married life!

The bride’s bouquet was hand-tied (as all our bouquets are!) and featured some of the most beautiful dahlias we've experienced in a long, long time!

Kendra + Miles' outdoor wedding ceremony took place on the back lawn at The Rivebend Inn, just in front of their white-washed gazebo. The views to the north, across the vineyards, are simply spectacular!!

The tented outdoor wedding reception consisted of multiple 16ft long tablescapes. We created our table top design using clusters of dahlias and potted lavender plants in cute white ceramic vessels (affectionately known as 'eggs' around the studio) interspersed with plenty of candlelight in some gorgeous new hand-blown glass containers.

So many lovely little details to share ... it's all in the details!!!

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!

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!

Christine + David: Winery Wedding at Chateau des Charmes in Niagara on the Lake

Posted by Jennifer on August 02 2010

Christine + David's yummy yellow and grey themed wedding took place under the tent at Chateau des Charmes Winery in Niagara on the Lake this holiday long weekend! What a beautiful day it was to celebrate Niagara nuptials ... love was in the air and not humidity!!

The colour palette of the flowers was yellow with hits of lime green and the punch was provided by the pewtery grey linens and black chair covers ... mod glamour with a rustic touch!

Our congratulations to Christine + David … thanks for choosing us to be a part of making your Niagara wedding celebration memorable!

These Gardenias in Christine's bouquet smelled amazing! They're so dainty and delicate ...

The tall centerpieces ... mix of birch branches and full florals ... helped scale the size of the tent and bring some weight to the reception space!

Robin + Dennis: A 'Charmed' Niagara-on-the-Lake Wedding

Posted by Jennifer on July 05 2010

So we're officially in those warm, heady days of summer and holiday weekends make for super wedding celebrations ... especially in Niagara-on-the-Lake!

Robin + Dennis tied the knot this past weekend ... outdoors overlooking the Niagara River from the deck of the Queenston Heights Restaurant in Queenston. A hop and a skip down the Niagara Parkway brought their guests to quaint Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Imperial Ballroom at Queen's Landing Hotel, where they celebrated and dined in utmost style!

The bride's 'Charmed' palette was a perfectly pretty combination of blush pink, ivory and white ... classic beauty never goes out of style.

Cheers to summer weddings!

Charm is one of those palettes that brides always seem to return to ... here's an idea of the colour / texture palette we were working with.

In addition to being a unique wedding destination, Queenston Heights is also a memorial to The War of 1812 where we Canadians kicked the Americans back across the River ... for the first and last time! Don't worry, it's all good ... we're friends now.

Elegant Wedding Magazine ... Featured Wedding!

Posted by Jennifer on July 01 2010

It's not very often that you 'accidentally' discover your work published in a magazine ... but it happened to us this week when we found one of our favourite fall weddings from 2009 was published in the latest issue of Elegant Wedding magazine! A happy accidental discovery, for sure!!

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 Vineyard Pavillion at Hillebrand Estates Winery.

Xero Digital did a superb job of capturing the essence of Kara + Bryan's intimate wedding celebration ... experience the day vicariously below!
