Re-Cap: July in Weddings!
July was a great and busy month for me! We saw 5 weddings, and another 2 that I was actually in as a bridesmaid and officiant. It was a great way to kick off the busy months of August and September! Each of my weddings was very different, and I got the chance to play with some great combinations. Here's a peek at the month of July in wedding flowers!
Lindsay and Maciek's Romantic Garden Wedding at Bridges Golf Course
I loved designing Lindsay's wedding flowers. Feminine textures, a romantic palette, garden-inspired blooms and a loose, cascading shape...this girl has killer style. One look at her amazing dress and you know that I'm telling the truth! I loved the combination of creams and greens with touches of blush, and I chose to use peonies, roses, stock, spray roses, Star of Bethlehem, and Queen Anne's Lace with mixed dusty miller, foraged olive, and ivy vines. I also loved the bridesmaid bouquets - light and full, and so pretty! We finished up all the bouquets with lovely silk ribbon from newly launched Canadian company Stella Wolfe (if all my brides brought me silks from Stella Wolfe, I wouldn't be complaining. Just saying.).
I'm so glad that Kampphotography got some amazing photos of the flowers, because I did a terrible job with my iphone-ography, as per usual. Thanks guys!
Jackie and Nate's Rustic Fort Gibraltar Wedding
Jackie and Nate's wedding was rustic, but in the right way. As in, the not ripped-straight-from-Pinterest way. I loved designing their flowers, as you can probably tell from my last blog post. Hailey Funk Photography did an amazing job of capturing these photos at Fort Gibraltar, and I wanted to share a little more from it!
White and Green Wedding Bouquet Recipe
Jackie and Nate were married the last weekend of May, and I absolutely loved making her bouquet. It was all white and green, with a botanical, natural-inspired shape. We used large headed white roses, ranunculus, sweet pea, and silver brunia and I also included bleeding heart and lily of the valley from my garden. I can't tell you how much I loved including flowers I grew myself! These photos are from the wonderful Hailey Funk Photography.
Jackie was also the SWEETEST bride. She was totally open to me doing my thing, and on the day of the wedding, she was just the happiest bride I've seen. She was just laid-back and walking on air. It was such a wonderful wedding to be a part of!
More from Jackie and Nate's wedding is coming up on the blog next week!
Lisa and Andrew's Winter Wedding at Bridges
Early in January, Lisa and Andrew got married in a rustic winter-themed wedding. I've actually known Andrew for probably 15 years, through mutual friends and he's always kept me laughing. I met Lisa at a wedding - the two on them happened to be sitting in front of me! I had a great time working with her on the plans for the wedding flowers. She wanted an all-white, textured bouquet with hits of silver and let me take it from there! Her bouquet was composed of hydrangea, stock, spray roses, ranunculus, wax flower, silver seeded eucalyptus, and dusty miller.
Thank you to Izabela, at Rachwal Photography for the lovely photos! She always takes such beautiful photos of flowers.
