Rainy Fall Wedding at Pineridge Hollow
After a Covid postponement and an intimate wedding the woods, it felt like it was high time for Tiffany and Stephanie to be able to celebrate their wedding with ALL their loved ones. It was mid-September, with a moody and rich colour palette, and some surprise rain.

The design was rich, dramatic, and warm — and also completely cozy.

Their Covid wedding was also GORGEOUS. It was an intimate day at Wild Skies Resort — see it here!
One of the things I really admire about the way Emily from Feast & Festivities designs is the strategic way she uses colour. Take this magenta, for example: she wanted to use this bright pop, but obviously it’s the type of colour that can very quickly take over a palette. So we added just a few touches into the florals, and like how totally perfect is that velvet ribbon around the invite?
Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: This was another bouquet that was mostly locally grown — woo woo! Zinnias, scabiosa, lisianthus, amaranthus, ninebark, yellow and burgundy smoke bush, and I added in imported garden roses, pepper berry, and viburnum berries.
Welcome to Pineridge Hollow like you’ve never seen it before.
It can be hard to re-envision a space that has been doing weddings for so long. We certainly don’t want your wedding to look or feel like every other wedding, so we’ve got to find ways to bring your style into it.
For this wedding, the floor plan, the tent entrance, and the ceiling greenery and lights made the biggest differences. Steph and Tiff (and their guests) aren’t huge dancers, so instead they set up multiple cozy lounges for hanging out. The mix of banquet, round, and cocktail tables brought a lot of visual interest and depth through mixed (but still elegant) linens. And the ceiling greenery, well. Chef’s kiss, right there. A huge thank you to Event Light for adding the cable for us to work from!
I love this floor plan! I’m always down for a mix of table shapes, because it creates a lot of interest and movement, and also allows people to interact in different ways. A sea of the same thing over and over gets really boring, really quickly. It can also be a clever way to maximize your space.
Okay friends, here are the elements of this wedding that you’re going to want to steal if this is the look you’re going for: romantic lighting and plenty of candles, velvet textures, moody linens (these deep emerald linens are gorgeous!), and a few pops of something jewel toned in the flowers to bring it all to life. Once again, CHEF’S KISS.

Romantic Mauve Wedding Flowers at Pineridge Hollow
What started out as simple white and green evolved into a deeper, more feminine and romantic palette of monochromatic mauves — and I LOVED it. As Emelissa dove deeper into her wedding planning, her vision came together in a more detailed way. She was a highly organized bride and has great style — you just have to check out her wedding dress and bridal style to see that for yourself.
She decided on the dusty mauves after a site visit to Pineridge Hollow, reflecting on how white the tent is. This is something I think all couples should think about — the design of your space will be one of the most fundamental aspects of your overall event design so it’s important to consider how it will play into your floral choices!

Woah nelly, this was a beautiful floral palette to work with! I dug into the idea of working with an analogous palette and let those varied shades of dusty rose / mauve / dark plum move seamlessly through the bouquet.
Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Locally grown dahlias, lisianthus, and scabiosa totally stole the show, perfectly completed by amnesia roses, cafe latte garden roses, copper extasis carnations and calcynica along with smokebush, boxwood, nagi, and leather leaf foliages.
I finished the stems with some gorgeous silk ribbon from Stella Wolfe.
Let’s talk about this ceremony! Isn’t it a pretty one? The backdrop at the woodlands area of Pineridge Hollow is always gorgeous, but I have to say that I think this is my favourite ceremony I’ve done designed there. My 2 piece deconstructed gold arch is a personal favourite. I elected to design the florals in an asymmetrical way, bringing floral up into the spotlight at the same time as creating a naturally grown look. I love that couple and wedding party used the altar as a portrait backdrop for a lot of photos, too - you can’t get a prettier space for photos!
We also added petite bouquets to the aisle, hanging off Pineridge Hollow’s shepherd’s hooks.
The focal point of the reception was hanging clouds of flowers suspended over the head table. This allowed us to bring in the colour to break up all the white of the tent, which was aided by the table runners that Emelissa dyed to perfectly match. The guest tables featured a mixture of glass stem vases with petite floral arrangements along with petal confetti scattered down the table.

Muted Cotton Candy Pastel Wedding at Pineridge Hollow
My favourite thing about Janelle and Kenny’s summer wedding at Pineridge Hollow was hands-down the colour palette: we chose a watery, muted oyster palette with dusty pinks, light blues, and lavenders. When I picked up my flower order and saw how the flowers were starting to come together, I got REALLY excited. Like, really excited. It was like a cotton candy dream come true! And just look at how beautiful the colours with the bridesmaids’ dresses were!
I think it’s pretty obvious why I loved these flowers :) It was such a lovely combination! Janelle wanted her bouquet to be a pretty good size but not too huge, and designed in a modern cascading style. The bridesmaids carried simpler handtied bouquets, all to coordinate with Janelle’s - isn’t that cotton candy pastel palette to die for?
Bridal Bouquet ingredients: several varieties of roses, dahlias, locally grown lisianthus and zinnias, delphinium, blue bells, and globe thistle with this gorgeous trailing jasmine and nagi foliages to help create that cascading shape. It’s pretty hard to choose a favourite ingredient in these bouquets, but I think it’s a tie between the “zinderella” zinnias and the globe thistle for me!
The wedding ceremony took place in front of the gardens at Pineridge Hollow, which were beautifully in bloom! I really went for it with this large, asymmetrical floral piece added to the arch. I loved adding in the very long, full branches of white poplar - they add a ton of texture thanks to the leaf’s shape and colour variegation, and of course, the shape that the full, arching stems creates can’t be beat. Mauve roses and pink lisianthus filled out the florals! We also added simple greenery bouquets down the aisle. I don’t normally recommend doing too much down the aisle as I personally prefer to keep the focus at the front, but these guys were super cute and definitely added to the woodsy feel.
Inside the tent, Janelle created a really great floor plan with a mix of both rectangular and round tables. White linens, mahogany chivari chairs and gold accents set the perfect neutral backdrop. The round tables had a low floral arrangement, with a touch more vibrancy than the bouquets but overall a very similar palette, and the rectangular tables featured loose greenery tucked along the length of the table (PSA the tables at Pineridge Hollow are quite narrow, so just keep that in mind if you’re planning a wedding there!) with individual roses in blush and mauve and gold candleholders added in. It was a very full table, but looked beautiful!
