For now, a sneak peek from Brittany Mahood Photography.
Blue and Yellow Wedding Decor Ideas at Cielo's Garden
A few weeks ago, I worked with Amanda Douglas Events to style the Cielo's Garden open house. This is one of my favourite wedding venues in the Winnipeg area - it's just so beautiful! The clear top tent allows for the most charming views, making it easy to work with so many different colour palettes and styles. This means it's literally a bride's dream venue!
I wanted to do a brighter, springy colour palette so Amanda Douglas Events and I chose blues and yellow, mixing in greens and terracotta tones. I've been wanting to incorporate terracotta into a design for a while now, so I jumped at the opportunity to add some terracotta accents into these table designs - on one table, potted herbs lining the table, and on the other table, a large terracotta tray serving as a base for several clean glass stem vases. Amanda selected some stationery from Robin Egg Blue Design and we added in these clear charger plates from Planned Perfectly, which I really love for the light way that it ties the look together.
Thank you so much to Keila Marie Photography - I have a feeling that she's going to be in very high demand over the next few years, so brides and grooms, if you haven't yet had a chance to check out her work, be sure to do so and inquire about her availability!
OUTDOOR GARDEN WEDDING VIDEO
It's so wonderful to see photos (and video!) from my summer weddings. Ashley and Scott were married at her parents' stunning property in the the country, and then a tented reception in their garden. Check out my bouquets and a few peeks of the decor in this video from Prairie Film Co!
(and PS, I just LOVE the couple behind the camera - Jordan and Lauren a sweet, sweet engaged couple, and I'm actually going to do their own wedding flowers this coming summer! Be sure to check out their availability for your own wedding!)
Sara and Chris' Winter Wedding at The Fort Garry Hotel
Designing Sara's wedding flowers was such a lovely treat. She showed me two inspiration photos that her wedding planner, Amanda Douglas, had shared, and was then happy to hand over the creative reigns to me. She had no specific requirements, and with no bridal party and a small guest list, Sara was really just happy to let me do what I thought would work best. I loved Amanda's idea to work with darker tones in the bridal bouquet and lighter shades of pinks and purples in the rest of the decor flowers. I also love how her bridal bouquet came together - the heart shape wasn't completely intentional, and I just adored it!
Purple can be a tricky colour to design well with, and I think the accents of those soft pinks really brought depth and interest to this bridal bouquet.
Bouquet ingredients: ranunculus, hellebore, stock, alstroemeria, amnesia roses, quicksand roses, faith roses, blackberries, and Italian and Israeli ruscus.

AS FEATURED ON HOST WINNIPEG
Karen and Chris' Fall Wedding at The Qualico Centre
Karen was a dream bride to work with. She had some great ideas for her flowers, and wanted to hand over the rest of it to hear my thoughts and suggestions. We started with this great colour palette, working with the 2015 Pantone colour of the year - marsala - and tucked in tones of blush, cream, and dusty blues. With an early October wedding date, I was able to forage some autumn toned foliage to add in, and in the end, Karen's bridal bouquet was one of my favourites of the year!
The sweetheart table was intended to have a major impact, and I think the floral garland we added did just that. I loved being able to add in a lot of extras for her here - Karen was such a sweet bride, so being able to spoil them with a grand statement on this table was something I definitely wanted to do!
