Kelsey & Karl Tie the Knot!

On the first weekend of November, we made various pieces of all white blooms for Kelsey and Karl's big day. Kelsey knew exactly what she wanted, classic all white flowers with some eggplant and damask accents. The bouquets were a design that we've made many times before but it's a look that never fails. They consisted of hydrangea, roses, spider mums and orchids with a collar of rich greens. We accented the girls' eggplant one-shoulder dresses with a soft silver stemwrap.

She also had two small flower girls that carried pomanders made of white cushion cut mums. We always love a pomander, so cute!

For the ceremony, Kelsey wanted some traditional pew bows but with a modern twist so we added a spider mum to each for a little more drama down the aisle. We also made two large ceremony pieces to tie everything together.

The reception was held at the modern Four Points Sheraton, and the spider mums with heavy greenery centerpieces were a perfect choice for Kelsey's venue.   She chose to have Tammy and her team from Divine weddings on hand for day of coordination and some for some of the before hand planning to make sure that everything ran as smooth as silk.

Another bonus was that the bathrooms were beautiful and we loved accenting them with rose petals and an arrangement of mums and hydrangea! Check out the large picture of a spider mum in the bathroom, so fitting for our bride!!

Luckily their photographer, Carrie Ekosky, was so speedy with her editing that she had a sneak peek up only a few days later! Check it out here: http://www.cphotoblog.blogspot.com/

Congratulations Karl and Kelsey, it was a pleasure working with you both!

Fall Weddings

In the past few years we have seen a real increase in the number of couples that tie the knot in the fall time. 

A few weeks ago we had two brides that did just that. 

The first chose blooms in a fall pallet with reds, golds and dark greens.  The result was stunning and even though it was a "copy" of some previous weddings it still looked unique thanks to the beautiful green hydrangeas from BC.

The second wedding of the weekend was another green and white mix.  To keep things unique and interesting our bride went with two centerpiece styles.  They mix worked so well because both types used the same blooms (green dendrobium orchids) so they looked like the both belonged to the same wedding.

The four maids all carried the same green heavy mix.

The bride was had more white flowers with hits of green

Too bad we got there before the decorators did and the linens weren't finished yet

We had one extra centerpiece so the bathroom was extra dressed up for this one!!

Congratulations to you both, Kat and Sandra. 

We can't wait to see some pictures!

Organic Greens

Congratulations Alana!

Last week we worked with a bride that is from Winnipeg but currently lives in Toronto.  She was given our name by a mutual friend and we got to work via phone and email a few months ago.  She had been working with another florist but things fell apart so we stepped up to make sure she had blooms that she loved.

After emailing pictures back and forth A MILLION times we managed to come up with a design that was both high style and organic that worked with her budget.

The bride carried a mix of Kale (ornamental cabbage), white roses, white cushions, fuji mums, green hypericum with kermit poms and spider grass.  Her six maids carried an all green mix of those flowers. 

We also made a large free form arrangement in all green for the reception and a fun little daisy bowl for the candy bar.  Of course I can't forget the bathroom addition!

Thank you Alana, for trusting us to come up with a design that you would love without even meeting us!!
