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!

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!

Tara's bridal bouquet ... delicious!


The colour matched bridesmaid's bouquets ...


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!



These centerpieces were definitely our favourites this weekend ... lush, full florals ... they looked quite at home in the Carriage House!

Dana + Anthony's Wedding at The Granite Club in Toronto

Posted by Jennifer on August 02 2010

This weekend we assembled the Team and hit the road for a chance to work with coordinator Machel Reeves again and stage the flowers for Dana + Anthony's wedding reception at Toronto's famous Granite Club (sidebar ... The Granite Club is one of Toronto's oldest and largest private athletic country clubs ... stunning interior spaces replete with art gallery!).

To achieve Dana + Anthony's 'look', we worked with a bold palette of pink, magenta and deep raspberry mokara orchids and garden roses offset with antique green and crisp snow-white hydrangeas. These mono-botanical arrangements still managed to maintain a really soft feel to them ... even with all the squeaky clean glass and symmetrical lines.

Our best wishes go out to Dana + Anthony ... cheers to love, life and wedded bliss!!!

We designed two bouquets for our bride Dana ... one was more soft blush pinks the other was bold and beautiful hues of deep pink and magenta. She loved them both! In the end, Dana opted to carry the bold and beautiful bouquet down the aisle ... coordinator Machel texted us from the ceremony to give us the scoop!!!



Bride's Bouquet No. 2 ... a softer, more classic feel.



The bridesmaids bouquets ...



The Grand Ballroom at The Granite Club is a large space with high ceilings ... the height of these centerpieces helps to make the space more intimate and 'bring the ceiling down', as it were.

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!

Mary + Dan at Vineland Estates Winery

Posted by Jennifer on July 26 2010

It's been a while since we've been at Vineland Estates Winery, but some things will never change ... we still looove intimate Niagara winery weddings!!

Vineland Estates is still one of the most beautiful intimate winery wedding venues in Niagara and it always feels like coming home when we get to work there. It's great to see Diane and Jared and the crew ... we've got a great history of designing/hosting the most beautiful weddings together!

Mary + Dan were married in the lovely old stone Carriage House overlooking the vineyard with the Niagara Escarpment in the distance ... breathtakingly beautiful! After the ceremony, their guests were invited on a wine tour and the Carriage House was seamlessly flipped into the reception space ... a beautiful tablescape seating 17 guests in the centre of the room!

Mary's colour palette was a Forest meets Charm mash-up ... the main focus was white and ivory with just a little splash of blush for colour! We used white mini callas, orchids, freesia, sahara roses, blackberries, blushing bride, dianthus and event some antique green hydrangeas and clematis vine from our studio organic cutting garden!

Cheers and best wishes to Mary + Dan ... it was a pleasure to be part of your special day!

This closeup of the bride's bouquet gives you a good idea of the colour palette we were working with ... white, ivory and soft blush!


Mary's bridal bouquet ... no bridesmaids this time!



Have I said how much we love this place? I'll let the pictures do the talking now ...







The long harvest or mission-style tablescape is one of our favourite things to do in the Carriage House ... there's something magical about the intimacy and ambiance that it brings to the space.





Between the ceremony and reception setup, we had a little time to sit down in the Vineland Estates Winery Restaurant and enjoy THE most decadent and tasty dessert and cappuccino I've had in a long while ... it's been a busy season!

I leave you with this one mouth-watering picture ... mmmmm!
