Jennifer + Robert at The Embassy Grand in Brampton

Posted by Jennifer on September 07 2010

We were on the road again this weekend ... this time to mid-town Toronto for Jennifer + Robert's wedding ceremony at Immaculate Conception Church followed by their dinner reception at the massively massive Embassy Grand Convention Centre in north Brampton! We've certainly been logging lots of KMs this wedding season!

Jennifer's colour palette was based on 'Bliss' featuring warm pink, blush, coral, muted red and burgundy. Definitely one of our all-time faves around the studio!

Lots of floral goodness this week also ... dahlias, red and pink orchids, red hydrangeas, amaranthus, curly willow, celosia, burgundy cordeline, light pink nerines and the most absolutely delicious garden roses ... ever.

Our best wishes to Jennifer + Robert ... cheers to love, life and wedded bliss!!!

This closeup of Jennifer's bridal bouquet gives you a good idea of the colour palette we were working with ... soft and muted tones.

Each of the five bridesmaids bouquets carried through the colours, but were slightly different in texture and ingredients ...

For the wedding ceremony, we designed a couple of these oversized altar floral arrangements, some pew-posies and filled two of our 42" glass cylinders with curly willow and red mokara orchids.

In a big space (such as the Embassy Grand) everything has to be done oversized to bring back some scale to the room ... otherwise it's easy to get swallowed up by the enormity of the ceiling! To help achieve the balance of scale, we designed a number of large table centerpieces that were raised up off the tables ... above guest sightlines!! The raised head table, fabric backdrops, LED room lighting and pin-lighting of each guest table helped to contribute to the balance as well. In the end ... a vast space became more intimated and the party was spectacular!

Caley + Richard at the Richmond Hill Country Club

Posted by Jennifer on August 30 2010

This weekend we gathered up the team and trotted up Highway 400 to Richmond Hill to design the flowers and Chuppah for Caley + Richard's nuptials at the lovely Richmond Hill Country Club! We love our home turf here in Niagara, but we also like to travel once in a while ... just to see how all the non-Niagaran's get by ... ya know?!?! :)

Caley + Richard's outdoor wedding ceremony took place in The Valley below the Country Club ... under one of our custom-made curly willow Chuppahs. It was a beautiful spot next to a babbling brook replete with an old wooden bridge you could only cross on foot ... picture perfect. Cocktails took place on one of the back patios immediately following the ceremony. Later in the evening, Caley + Richard hosted a dinner for their nearly 200 guests in Ballroom upstairs.

The colour palette for today was a blend of 'Forest' and 'Spirit' .... the ceremony and wear and carry were all Forest themed and we add hits of bold pink to the reception flowers!

Our best wishes are with Caley + Richard at the start of their new journey together ... Mazel tov!

The bride and bridesmaid's bouquets ... these colours were a perfect choice as the Forest palette looked right at home in The Valley! How adorable does Caley look ... a picture of complete serenity!!

In case you were wondering (and we know that you were!) ... our Chuppah frame can be adapted to many styles ... fabric, birch log, curly willow. For Caley + Richard's wedding ceremony, we designed a curly willow Chuppah and hand-tied over 150 white orchid blooms onto the willow.

Sarah + Sumit at The Good Earth Food and Wine Co.

Posted by Jennifer on August 30 2010

Sarah + Sumit celebrated their nuptials outdoors in Niagara's wine country at The Good Earth Food and Wine Co. in Lincoln. If you're a regular reader of the blog, you already know how much we love The Good Earth ... a little slice of heaven on earth!

Sumit's background is Indian and the blending of his and Sarah's cultures is such a beautiful love story. It was an intimate affair that was very big on gorgeous, rich and saturated colour!

Feast your eyes on this colour palette ... it's our 'Passion' with an Indian spin ... plus some gold and copper thrown in for kicks! A perfect late summer palette that's also reflective of Sumit's family heritage.

We wish blessings on Sarah + Sumit as they begin their marriage journey!

The colour palette ... rich reds, deep burgundies, passionate pinks ... lovin' it!

Kristin + Ryan at Queen's Landing in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Posted by Jennifer on August 16 2010

We absolutely love working in Niagara on the Lake ... this little town is so full of interest and charm that it naturally enhances anything we do here!

This weekend, for Kristin + Ryan's wedding, we were excited again to work at two of our favourite venues ... Queen's Landing and St. Mark's Anglican Church. Two amazing venues for an equally amazing couple!!

We were working some fantastic late summer blooms to pull off a sophisticated, yet romantic and classic feel. The white chair covers with stem green bows and matching stationery were a perfect backdrop for the flowers.

Kristin + Ryan are two beautiful, genuine souls ... truly meant for each other and it was a pleasure to be a part of their wedding celebration! Best wishes to you!!

We simply adore St. Mark's Church ... this beautiful old-stone church dates back over 200 years ... a lot of history here. Not just a history of religion or love ... but of the founding of Canada!

We hope Ryan doesn't mind us posting this pic of him holding Kristin's bouquet ... he was busy assisting her into the car and walked off with her bouquet ... so cute!

We designed a mix of tall and short full-floral centerpieces for each of the guest tables in the Grand Georgian Ballroom ...

Tara + Shawn say 'I Do' at Vineland Estates Winery

Posted by Jennifer on August 16 2010

Was that summer that just flew by? It's hard to believe it's already September in just a couple of weeks ... already beginning to look, feel and smell a bit like fall. Maybe we'll just call it 'late summer' for now ... no need to rush things!!!

Late summer happens to be my favourite time of year ... mostly because of all the saturated tones and rich, deep colours that come out! Tara + Shawn's Niagara winery wedding at Vineland Estates Winery is a great example of what I love about late summer.

Peach dahlias, majolica spray roses, pink cymbidium and red mokara orchids, pink garden roses, various hydrangeas (peegee, antique green, white), celosia ... all of these goregous blooms went into Tara + Shawn's florals. The colour palette could be described as watermelon with warm tones of burgundy, blush, salmon and champagne. Very relaxed and 'of the earth'. We even picked lots of the foliage from our own cutting gardens here at the studio ... peegee hydrangeas, antique green hydrangea, mint, fern fronds, clematis vine and more.

Our best wishes to Tara + Shawn ... and cheers to late summer weddings in Niagara's wine country!

The Vineland Estates Winery Carriage House at Vineland Estates Winery is an amazing stone room with a bank of windows across the east wall facing out over the vineyards with the Niagara Escarpment in the background ... one of our most favourite places to celebrate a Niagara wedding!

Tara + Shawn's wedding ceremony took place outside on the north deck ... we created twin oversized arrangements to flank the ceremony area. We're loving our giant earthy chocolate vessels for these florals!
