Janice + Mike's intimate outdoor Niagara wedding took place at the stately Grand Victorian mansion B&B along the gorgeous winding curves of the Niagara River Parkway.
The Grand Vic, as we like to call her, is a spectacular Victorian mansion featuring Queen Anne Revival influences and is set on an acre and a half of gardens, surrounded by the award winning vineyards of Reif Estate Winery.
The outdoor wedding ceremony took place on the property's gardens just a stone's throw from the mansion, where Janice + Mike later hosted their guests to a cozy dinner reception on the wrap-around verandah.
The seclusion and intimacy of this exclusive property feels half a world away from the hustle of the 'traditional' wedding ... it really transforms your perspective on what a great wedding celebration should be!!
Cheers to wedded bliss!
Janice's colour palette was plum with a touch of butter yellow, burgundy and ivory.
Her bouquet in purple and yellow was absolutely gorgeous ... the giant Lady Slipper orchids were beyond amazing!!!


The bridesmaid's bouquets in yellow looked equally stunning against their dresses ...


Janice + Mike's intimate wedding ceremony in the garden featured classic gold and white chiavari chairs, twin oversized altar florals set on Reif Estate wine barrels and our custom-made wrought iron Shepherd's Hooks gracing the aisle.



We absolutely adored the idea of designing a tablescape on the wrap-around verandah ... what a brilliant idea!! No need for a tent ... you have the completely jaw-dropping charm of Victorian mansion as your protection from the elements. Genius!!!






Kimberly + Dean's bright and sunny Niagara on the Lake wedding day featured fab yellow florals in our Glow colour palette ... a perfect match for Kimberly's cheery personality!
It was a classic romantic affair ... the wedding ceremony was held in the Atrium and the evening dinner reception followed in the Imperial Ballroom ... all on-site at Queen's Landing in lovely Niagara on the Lake, Ontario!
Cheers to love!
Kimberly's bridal bouquet ... in shades of sunny to mellow yellow!

The matching bridesmaids bouquets ... also in yellow.

The ceremony in the Atrium featured our custom-made Shepherd's Hooks lining the aisle with twin oversized floral arrangements flanking the altar ...


The centerpieces were all raised up on hand-blown glass pedestals ...


Our resident wedding stationery guru Mark designed the menus and place cards for the tables ...

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!

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!

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?!?!?
