Another first for us ... in ten years of designing flowers for weddings, we've never done one on a Monday ... until today!!
Stephanie + Danny's Jewish wedding ceremony was supposed to take place under the custom-made birch log chuppah we created for them ... but just 10 minutes before the ceremony, the skies opened up and the rain fell. Ever the optimists, Stephanie + Danny simply moved the ceremony indoors to the Vineyard Retreat at Cave Springs.
Suffice it to say, we were a little sad for our bride and groom ... that they weren't able to be wed in the vineyard under the chuppah ... but love knows no boundaries and come rain or come shine, Stephanie + Danny's love certainly weathered this little hurdle. :)
Cheers guys! We wish the newly weds blessings in their marriage.
Bliss was the colour palette for this smashing brides' bouquet ... how lovely!


Our Chuppah looked absolutely amazing out among the graperows in the vineyards ... lovin' it!!



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!

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'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!
