Jessica and Shad's Pineridge Hollow Wedding
I love Pineridge Hollow! It's such a pretty venue. Jessica and Shad were married in early August with an outdoor ceremony before the rain came, and a tented reception. Jessica chose an all-white and green palette for her florals, and wanted her florals to be whimsical, romantic, and pretty. I loved the dahlias I got to use in her bouquet, and luckily for me, blushing bride protea just happened to be in my wholesaler's cooler so I added some of that in there as well! One of my favourite touches is the sweet little jasmine vine at the bottom, which came from my own garden.

Leighann and Paul's Detailed Country Wedding
I LOVED being a part of Leighann and Paul's wedding. First, she was just really awesome to work with (it seems like I'm saying that a lot! I've been really lucky with the brides who have hired me!). Second, she had really great style, and was very trusting of me to just do my thing.
One of my favourite aspects of their wedding was the ceremony space. We were originally going to do their ceremony outdoors with a floral garland attached to an arbor. But when Cielo's Garden unveiled their AMAZING new covered ceremony space, Leighann changed her mind and I'm super glad that she did! The space was so gorgeous - airy, fresh, and felt like it wasn't even in Manitoba anymore. That meant that we had to get creative with those ceremony florals. So, I came up with the plan to create a hanging installation in the place of where an arbor would have been, and I just love the results. I found the perfect branch when I was out playing Frisbee, and I applied the floral arrangements right onto it. We also added two fresh, pretty arrangements at the base!

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!
A Sweet Floral Dog Collar
Earlier this spring, Cassie contacted me to make a floral dog collar for her engagement session. I've been surprised by the number of brides who want collars for their dogs this year! It was fun to put together, and isn't this puppy such a beauty?
Thank you to Brittany Mahood Photography for the lovely photos!
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!
