Annie and Patrick October 23, 2010

Annie came to me with a bold colour scheme of red, deep purple, lime green and blue for her wedding.  She loved a piece from both our modern styles (centerpiece) and natural styles (birch bark handle) at a bridal show last year.  We found a way to use both pieces and have them work in perfect harmony.
For Annie's bridal bouquet I used red freedom roses, moonvista carnations, purple lisianthus, green hypericum berries, sea holly and bupleurum.  The bouquet was finished with a wrapping of birch bark on the handle.


For her bridesmaids we opted for red roses, red gerbera daisies, green hypericum, moonvista carnations, sea holly, bupleurum and salal greens.


I had alot of fun doing the flower girls "fairy wand".  This was a first for me, but I think it is a great idea for young flower girls that will probably destroy a pomander ball before it makes it down the aisle.

I have a huge love for this amazing carnation (moonvista) that was used in the centerpieces and bouquets at Annie and Patricks wedding.  I am a firm believer that if used the proper way, a carnation can be as lovely as any dahlia or calla.............it's all about presentation.

A massing of moonvista carnations with bells of ireland and looped curly willow accent.  Red ribbon adds the final punch of colour and ties it into the wedding bouquets.

The final element were the 2 large ceremony arrangements placed upon tall ornamental vases.  Crystals hung from the curly willow above a massing of red, blue, purple and green blooms.  These were later transfered to the hall to serve a dual purpose.

Kristine and Dave, October 30, 2010

For Kristine and Dave's Queenston Heights wedding we chose to use the colours of the season with orangey red and yellow roses.  Red hypericum berries accented the bridal bouquet.
Congrats Kristine and Dave!

Amie and Jeremy October 30, 2010

Amie and Jeremy were planning a halloween themed wedding reception in shades of orange and brown.  We selected the brides favorite: orange  and burgundy gerbera for the bride and orange gerbera for the bridesmaids.  Brown wheat accents were added to both bouquets and the mini gerbera boutonnieres.
Congrats Amie and Jeremy!

Stefanie and Jeff October 16th, 2010

When Stefanie came to me with idea's for her wedding there was a re-occuring theme in all of the pictures...Orange mokara orchids.  She loved these blooms and I don't blame her.  These orchids aren't used alot on our area and come in some pretty amazing colours that a dendrobium of cymbidium cannot achieve.  The crazy part about this orchid is that it is grown in Thailand!  I cannot believe how far some of these flowers travel before they are placed into a bridal bouquet.
For Stefanie's bouquet we decided to used an orange, green and white pallette.  Orange morkara orchids, orange roses and orange dahlia's along with green spider mums, green hydrangea and green pepperberry made up her bouquet.  Accents of pinky/peach pepperberry, white commercial mums and looped curly willow were also added.

Bridal Bouquet

The Bridesmaids Bouquets contained all green and orange flowers.  Again Mokara orchids were the highlight.  They were accompanied by orange protea, green spider mums, green berzillia berries, orange dahlia and orange roses.  All bouquet handles were also wrapped in birch bark, a theme which continued onto the couples wedding cake!

Diana and Adam October 9th, 2010

Diana and Adam wanted to incorporate a red, black and white colour scheme into their vintage themed wedding.  We went with a classic calla lily for the bride but added a twist with the black colour and red kangaroo paw.  I used white commercials for the bridesmaids which has a pretty vintage feel to it, the looped lily grass added a unique twist.

Niagara Fall Bridal Show

Lush had a booth at the Niagara fall bridal show this past weekend.   I got to try out some interesting idea's I have had lately and meet loads of brides.  I focused on 3 main themes at the bridal show: vintage, funky/contemporary, natural (with an edge).  Hope you like them!

Vintage Theme

Aleasha and William Oct.2, 2010

Aleasha was a girl after my own heart......she wanted colour, lot's of colour.  Nothing pops like lime green, deep purple and hot pink.  I think this may be my favorite colour combination. 

Bridal bouquet of purple lisianthus, pink dahlia, pink roses, pink mini gerbera, green hydrangea and green hypericum.  All finished with salal leaves and an eggplant ribbon accent.

The bridesmaids bouquets were very similar but contained my favorite dark purple:  moonvista carnations
