How Much Do Wedding Flowers Cost? Warm Neutral Wedding Reception at Novella

It’s not all that frequent that I get to design the entire reception from start to finish, and I really enjoy digging into that complete process. For this warm, neutral wedding reception at Novella, I started with a brief overview of the colour palette and textural elements I wanted to highlight.

As I got going, I knew I wanted to share a glance at the real life costs behind a reception design like this. Many of my clients come to me asking for designs like this, but have no frame of reference for pricing. So, let’s jump into the design and then the cost!

Design Notes: Textural Wedding Ceremony Florals at Novella

Last spring, I designed an editorial for Vanessa Renae and a group of photographers who were itching to get creative, and practise some new photography techniques. Vanessa had found this gorgeous blue vintage dress, and then she asked me to take the reigns on the overall design. Needless to say, I had a lot of fun.

Warm browns paired with cool blues, layers of natural textures, minimalistic yet elevated stationery, a dreamy meandering aisle, multi-tonal drapery, it was all so good. A total dream day ✨

Today, I’m sharing some design notes focusing on the ceremony design, featuring textured florals and a natural style.

Floral Ideas for Your Wedding Cake

One thing I will always love, even though I didn’t have one at my wedding and even though I have a gluten allergy, is wedding cake. The reason is possibly quite frivolous, but I’ll admit it: I love the moment that a wedding cake provides. The way that tradition revolves around them, that there can be a pause in a chaotic evening for the two of you to enjoy a moment together, and of course, I love the design opportunities that a cake can bring.

I know people have their ups and downs with wedding cakes and whether they’re a priority or not. In my mind, it comes down to this: if you’re going to invest in a wedding cake, then make 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 moment 👏🏻

Best Tips for Small Weddings in Winnipeg

Lately I’ve been finding myself more and more drawn to small, intimate weddings. Possibly because the two weddings I’ve designed for so far in 2025 have both been for under 30 people, but also because there’s just SO much that you can DO with a smaller wedding.

Let’s get into it — if you’re thinking about having a smaller wedding, here are some of my favourite ideas!

Wedding Inspiration Series: Colour Palette Ideas

We’re back with our latest blog mini-series, with the aim of giving you all the inspiration you need to get into wedding planning. I know that a lot of the different areas of wedding planning can be…let’s say, un-fun…but I hope that all of the pretty can feel like a breath of fresh air for you and reinvigorate your ideas with new inspo!

Today we’re highlighting colour palette inspiration trending for 2025. If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you’ll know that I’m OBSESSED WITH COLOUR. And when I say that, don’t get nervous: when I say COLOUR, I don’t mean that it has to be neon. Or rainbow. Or Crayloa bright (unless that’s what you want).

There’s such a wide range of what we can do with colour. It really sets the stage for your overall ambiance and vibe, and that’s why colour palette is ALWAYS what I start with when I design a wedding. Layering in different shades and tones, adding depth in just the right places, or a pop of something really vibrant to bring that breath of life…nothing but colour can do that.
