The Most Dreamy Wedding of 2017

The most dreamy wedding of 2017: that might seem like an overstatement, but I assure you, it's not. Kaylah and Jason's wedding was a literal dream. When I look back on it, in my mind I see it with a hazy sort of quality, like a dream sequence in a movie. Hold on, because this will be a long post. It took me a very long time to decide which images were my favourites and would tell their story best - they're all so beautiful!

It was pure kismet that I was available to do their wedding flowers. Kaylah reached out a few months before her wedding and it was the only date of the summer that I still had available. Then when we sat down together, she showed me a picture of the dress she had bought from this incredible online boutique that I've been following for a few years. You guys, you won't believe this, but I had been dreaming about doing a wedding with that dress and knew that it was never going to happen. So you see? It was ate. A fairytale. A dream.

It's quite obvious that Kaylah has incredible style. These stunning images Ariana took could have been ripped straight out of the pages of Vogue, with that dress, her incredible veil and hairpiece, the blooms scattered through her loose braid. We tossed around a few different colour palette options, each unique and beautiful. In the end, we landed on soft shades of pink, lavender, butter yellow, light blues, sage greens, and a touch of magenta.

Bridal bouquet ingredients: amnesia and quicksand roses, delphinium, tweedia, spray roses, rice flower, stock, anemones, delphinium, several varieties of eucalyptus, and some locally grown vine things that I don't know the name of but were the perfect wild touch, all wrapped up in this soft blue velvet ribbon that I had been saving for the perfect bouquet. I went kind of wilder with the shape, really allowing the flowers to tell me where they wanted to be. I couldn't have loved this bouquet more.

The ceremony was just breathtaking. The chapel at Cielo's Garden is always beautiful, and Kaylah and I wanted to do something simple to create an altar, while maintaining a whimsical feel. She left it up to me to decide what to do, and knowing that we were using a lot of greenery, I thought a garland that could be re-purposed for the head table would be a beautiful idea. I decided to drape it almost like curtains, when you pull them back, and tucked in a few floral spotlights for some soft colour.

Then we move on to the reception! Budget was a factor here, as it usually is: any number multiplied by 15-20 tables adds up very quickly! We decided on loose greenery down the table, which in my opinion is just as good as any garland but much, much more cost-effective. I tucked in loose roses, petals, and the heads of some small flowers for whimsy, colour, and texture. I love how it turned out! Kaylah had ordered these cute napkins to alternate colours and while I normally wouldn't suggest that alternating colours like this would look good, I thought this design was so charming.
