Meredyth and Brock's Tent Wedding with Eucalyptus Garlands

When Meredyth and I first started planning her wedding flowers, we didn't actually have the opportunity to meet. I typically like to do an in-person flower consultation with all of my clients, but sometimes, a Skype meeting is the only way to go! Meredyth and Brock live a few hours away, in Brandon, and the wedding was going to be hosted out there as well.

Over the course of their engagement, we ended up changing the plan for the flowers a few times, but through all of the new ideas, one thing was very clear: Meredyth had GREAT style. The palette of soft blush and pinks, creams, and sage greens felt lovely and fresh in the all-white tent where they held their reception. In the end, we decided on simple eucalyptus garlands with a few blush roses tucked in here and there, gold-rimmed candle holders, and bouquets of cream and the softest pink that looked beautiful against the ballet-pink bridesmaid dresses. 

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: hydrangea, stock, white O'hara garden roses, sweet pea, astilbe, silver brunia, dusty miller, acacia, and gunni eucalyptus. 

I absolutely ADORE a cute flower girl and ring bearer duo!

Kim and Adam's White and Green Summer Wedding at Bridges Golf Course

Kim and Adam's summer wedding at Bridges Golf Course was a great one! Especially great, because Kim is an incredibly caring and devoted friend, and my own little sister was one of Kim's bridesmaids so I know this for a fact :) She planned her wedding to perfection, had great ideas, and was incredibly organized. She sought a somewhat rustic aesthetic, which works really well with the decor at Bridges, and always looks good in a simple white and green palette!

In keeping with the rustic theme, I actually used twigs and branches within the bouquets, along with locally grown zinnias and scabiosa that brought a perfect summery, rustic texture.

I loved designing the flowers for this arch! Adam, the groom, built the wooden structure for me to use. I first added on the draping, which was quite a challenge because it was SUPER windy that day! I then added on this greenery garland, followed by the flowers designed in two separate pieces (they were later taken off of the arch and moved to the head table - I love getting double duty out of ceremony flowers!). I kept it simple, using just large headed white roses and white delphinium. Each bloom was nice and big, and I chose to place them each on a different plane. I find this creates a more natural feel, which is especially suitable for a rustic, outdoor wedding, rather than flowers designed in a dense, unnatural way.

Indoors at the reception, I started with this really cool hanging branch piece over the head table. Event Light added in twinkling lights, so it created a really pretty effect over the bridal party all night. I used a lovely stone urn for the centrepieces, and tucked in white flowers along with a ton of greenery.

Christine and Brent's Wedding at The Gates on Roblin

Christine's bridal bouquet was one of my absolute favourites of the year! It was just so much fun to put together. I chose so many fantastic flowers for her, and she loved everything ruffly and girly. It was such a pleasure to be a part of this wedding! Oh, and seriously - not that I need to point it out because I'm sure that every one will already see it...but how hot is this bridal party!? Special thank you to Curtis from Moore Photography for the great images!

PS An extra special congratulations to Christine and Brent whose next big adventure is parenthood! 

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: peonies, garden roses, ranunculus, spray roses, astilbe, Queen Anne's Lace, baby's breath, and eucalyptus.

Christine found a really cute assortment of white lanterns, which we accented with a simple greenery wreath and a few pops of light pink floral.

Kaeleigh and Craig's Berry Toned Wedding at Bridges Golf Course

GUYS. Any time you tell me that you want berry tones, or any kind of rich and vibrant colour palette, I'm going to get seriously excited. When we started planning Kaeleigh's flowers, she pulled out a stack of paint colour swatches to show me the vibrancy and pigmentation that she wanted. I LOVED it. Magenta, plum, raspberry, lilac, fuchsia, and a delicate touch of blush combined to create just the most perfect colour palette for a summertime wedding (and worked beautifully with her soft blush gown!).

SERIOUSLY. Am I right, or am I right? I looked forward to designing this bouquet for a long time :) Kaeleigh's bridal bouquet featured stock, anemones, locally grown ranunculus, spray roses, several varieties of standard roses, and my favourite - delicious, rich foxglove. The reception was held at Bridges Golf Course, where I added colour to the tables with wreaths and lanterns. 

Special thank you to Izabela from Rachwal Photography - she's awesome! If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look her up!

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Faith roses, Morisca Roses, Blueberry roses, stock, foxglove, ranunculus, anemones, spray roses, Italian Ruscus, and silver dollar eucalyptus.

Melanie and Jarrod's Summertime Country Wedding

Melanie and Jarrod celebrated their summertime wedding at their beautiful country property. With a beautiful garden and verdant green lawn, this was such a lovely setting for a wedding. They popped up a tent for their reception and hosted the ceremony right on their front lawn. 

I absolutely loved all the colour I got to use in the flowers. Melanie was pretty open to my suggestions, and just knew that she wanted to use pinks and creams, with a summery, casual feel. I suggested that we tuck in touches of caramel and yellow to her bouquet, and absolutely LOVE the final result. I also loved the locally grown flowers that I got to use - the lisianthus and zinnias were perfect for Melanie's bouquet! For the aisle, we chose simple baby's breath bouquets and did some flower tie-backs for the curtains on the chuppah. Each of the tables in the tent had simple stem vases with pink and white blooms. 

Thank you to Janique Tessier Photography for these photos!

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Hydrangea, Combo roses, pink lisianthus, pink and white zinnias, rice flower, and seeded eucalyptus.
