Jill and Mike September 25th, 2010

Jill and Mike wanted a peacock feather theme for their wedding at the balls falls conservation building.  They focused on white and lime green with accents of blue.
The bridal bouquet was a wild mix of peacock feathers (of course), lime hydrangea, white stock, white star of bethlehem, lime cymbidium orchids, blue delphinium and rolled aspidistra leaves.  The bouquet handle was wrapped with birch bark and brown ribbon.

Bridal Bouquet

The reception arrangement contained birch bark branches and bark curls as well as a mixture of white button mums, blue delphinium, green hydrangea, green spider mums and seeded eucalyptus

Megan and Vince wanted to keep their wedding florals very simple.  We went with a fresh green, white and yellow colour scheme for this balls falls wedding. 
For the brides bouquet we chose white lisianthus, stock and spider mums.  We accented with green hypericum and kermit mums. 

Bridal Bouquet

The bridesmaids carried bouquets of white, yellow and green button mums.  A single white spider mum tied them in with the bride.

Pam and Ryan September 18th, 2010

When Ryan and Pam came to meet me for their first consultation and told me they wanted completely local wedding flowers I was in a bit of shock.  I am so used to designing based on other elements.....colours, theme, texture or price.  But with Ryan working for the conservation authority it was very important to him that everything down to the foliage was grown in our area.  thankfully I have a plentiful cutting garden at home and I live in the boonies to collect everything else!
I became completely immersed in searching for berries, pods and vines on my walks with my son leading up to this wedding and it paid off!  My favorite "find" was clematis seed heads for the bouquets and boutonnieres, they are curly and crazy looking.....perfectly Lush.

Conrad Stewart Wedding September 4, 2010

Jen Stewart wanted "punch" in her bouquets and centerpieces for her N-O-T-L wedding to Glenn Conrad. She loved an orange colour scheme and chose to accent it with greens, reds and a hint or purple.  She was also huge on diversity in texture, which is always a fun way to design.

For her centerpieces I chose Antique green hydrangea (amazing), Voodoo roses (another recent favorite), orange protea and a purple moon series carnation (yes they are coming back people!).  I added a grapevine ball and loops of curly willow for a rustic touch.

Centerpieces

Bridesmaids bouquets were a mix of orange protea, carnations, alstromeria, dahlia, hydrangea and loops of curly willow.  For the flower girl I did a simple gathering of protea, carnations, hypericum and greens.

Reniewick Jervis wedding August 28th 2010

Julie Jervis and John Reniewick wanted a fall colour scheme for their wedding in a quiet Welland park.

Julie's bridesmaids bouquets were filled with gerbera daisies and roses and her's was accented with leucadendron and hypericum berries.  The fall colour scheme was a bit surprising in the dead of summer but it matched the blazing temperatures!

Clare Day wedding August 28th 2010

Angie Day and Matt Clare chose a white, blue and burgundy colour scheme for their wedding flowers.   I chose to use white lilies, white roses, blue delphinium and burgundy gerbera. Angie chose a traditional cascade bouquet for her Niagara parks botanical gardens ceremony.


*As a side note I have to mention how much I love this ceremony venue. As a graduate of the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture I have fond memories of the willow pond, I am so proud that my work get's to be on display in such as amazing setting.

Bridal bouquet packed up and ready to go!

Robert and Semley Wedding 21.08.2010

This past weekend I got to work with the most fabulous bride...and most fabulous colour scheme.

Purple is such a huge colour this summer and I love it!  But when you layer in burgundy, deep pink and grey you have an increadible saturation of colour that pops.

Jenn opted for a mix of "black" calla lilies, burgundy dahlia, purple lisianthus, stock and 'wanted' roses in her bouquets.  Centerpieces were a mix of dahlia, hydrangea and stock.

Jenn and Michaels wedding took place at Central United Church in Port colbourne with the reception at Queens Landing
