Year in Review 2024
Whew. 2024 was amazing!
I’m pretty confident this is the longest wedding season I’ve had yet — late May through the end of November with very little slow time in the mix. It was also quite possibly the most beautiful season of all (though I probably say that every year!), but I can barely remember the earliest days of the season! Those May and June weddings seem like a lifetime ago.
I’m still waiting on a lot of galleries (if you’re a client and you’ve got your photos back, please share them with me!) but I hope to be sharing a lot of those images this winter to give newly engaged people a lot of ideas and inspiration.

I’m still waiting on a lot of galleries (if you’re a client and you’ve got your photos back, please share them with me!) but I hope to be sharing a lot of those images this winter to give newly engaged people a lot of ideas and inspiration.
A few Numbers to kick things off…
30 weddings (some super small, some very large!)
6 corporate events plus a handful of social events (birthday parties, bachelorette parties, bridal and baby showers!)
353 bunches of roses = over 8800 stems!
594 bunches of locally grown flowers = almost 6000 stems!
10th Anniversary!
2024 was not only another year filled with beautiful weddings, it was also my 10th business anniversary!
I genuinely don’t remember much about the early days of starting my business. I remember strategically planning out my very first website (I’m still proud of it!), and I remember connecting with my friend Britney Fache who ended up referring me about 25 clients that first year! I recall my first phone call with Kelly from Lilystone Gardens — I was so hopeful that I would be able to connect with a local flower grower but didn’t really know where to start, but Kelly was really the first to pursue growing flowers for wedding purposes, and that was such a blessing and really shaped my dedication to using locally grown flowers.
To celebrate my 10th anniversary in business, I ran a giveaway with 2 prizes — a custom veil from Cathy Wiebe Clothes (that bride is getting married next year!), and a content creation package from Brides Eye View. Kaylee won that, and it was SO amazing — here’s her video!
I definitely don’t remember writing this 5th anniversary blog post, though some of the dreams and plans that I had at that point have come true, some are still on the table, and some have just changed completely.
Over the years, I’ve committed to making my business as sustainable as possible, which entails having a beautiful rental collection instead of putting the onus on clients to purchase and provide vessels to me. It also entails me making as many sustainable business choices as possible — composting, recycling, using reusable materials, and eliminating floral foam as much as possible. I’m really proud of this work — some of it is harder to do than the alternative, but it’s worth it in the long run, of course!
The Whirlwind that was August
August 2024 was the busiest month of Stone House history. It was quite unreal, to be honest with you. Everything about it was amazing, but I was so looking forward to it being over!
We kicked things off with a destination wedding in Clear Lake (a full dive into that wedding is coming in the new year!) for an NHL player. I took a team of 4 of us up there, with 3 more women driving in from the surrounding area for the day. We celebrated with pizza from TR McKoy’s (my FAVE restaurant in Clear Lake!) and ended the wedding day at Elkhorn’s new Nordic spa (it was AMAZING).

Following that large wedding, we dove right away into our largest wedding of the year the next week. I think we had 4-10 people on our team for that week, with TONS and TONS of flowers and a killer hanging installation composed of 80 feet of floral coverage. Cannot wait to show you more from this!

We designed for 4 other weddings that month, each of which was completely different from the next and filled with gorgeous flowers and colours and TONS of locally grown product. And for the final wedding of the month, I was hired for both floral and event design and it was really beautiful.

Client Highlights
It’s incredibly exciting when my past clients are either part of the wedding party, or part of the family. It seems like this year, I got to see quite a lot of my past clients in wedding parties! Here are just a few :)

It Takes a Village
It’s not possible to do the weddings that we do completely on my own. I’m so grateful for the wonderful team that comes together to make your wedding dreams come true. I really love being able to control the overall design and logistics, while being able to trust these women to design in such a beautiful way.
And below are a few of the random spots where you might have found me this year: up on a 20 foot high scaffold, inside a dirty plinth that needed cleaning, and designing in (and on top of!) a pool!
continuing to level up
I’ve spoken at length before about why I think it’s important to continue pursuing education and design inspiration. I’m not a new kid on the block at this point, but I think it’s really valuable to continually be seeking out both inspiration and wisdom from others in my industry.
This spring, I travelled to Montreal to learn from 2 of my favourite designers, and found myself fully refreshed and inspired by doing so. Here’s a quick recap of that trip! It seems so long ago, but it really did give me a great start to the season.
I also invested in an online course to help me level up my visual proposals. It’s an aspect of my process that I love and that sets me apart from my competition, and I know my clients appreciate. I can’t wait to dig into this even more for my upcoming clients.
Room Reveals
I always love seeing these moments! The moment when you first see your wedding space, completely finished. Your dreaming has actually, finally, happened. It’s exciting!! For a lot of you, this moment won’t be caught on camera (a lot of logistical planning needs to happen to allow for this!) and those moments are just as sweet to me. Even if I’m standing in a pile of stems I’m in the midst of sweeping up, when you walk in and see it all, it’s so exciting.

In 2024, I was hired for multiple very large weddings with lots of production detail and processes to work through. I’m super proud of how I managed all of that! I really love the direction that Stone House has been growing, and I can’t wait to continue on this trajectory. While I will always love the smaller weddings, too, I really thrive on the logistics that are required for larger scale weddings and events.
And speaking of which…I will be hiring for a new position in 2025! I am not quite sure when I’ll post that announcement, as I’m still determining exactly what role(s) I want to fill, but if you’re interested in working with me, keep your eye out for that info!
I always like to promote some charitable offerings at the end of the year, in case any of you are looking for a great cause to donate to. Here’s a couple that I love:
Villages of Hope is an amazing Canadian organization that partners with communities in the poorest nations in Africa, providing schools, shelter, safety, nutrition, healthcare, and above all, hope. Their Hope Packs are a super cost-effective way to make a huge difference for a child, and include books, toys, clothing, and treats. They’re only $25!
Mainstreet Project: Amazon Wishlist
The Mainstreet Project is a Winnipeg organization that serves our city’s most marginalized people, and with the Canada Post strike this year, they’re in a rougher spot than most years. Their Amazon wishlist is such an easy way to support them with the items they need, without needing to worry about Canada Post.
So what’s coming up for the next few years? That’s a good question! I’ve got one really big idea…but I’m just not quite sure if it’s what I really want. Anyone know how to figure out the direction you really want to go? (that, and a few million dollars are needed, too…)

If you’re interested in following along for more regular updates, I post on Instagram every few days with snippets of my wedding season, featured weddings, and behind the scenes of my work!
The Winnipeg wedding industry is an amazing industry to be a part of. There are a lot of great people, working to make sure that all of your weddings come together wonderfully. There is also a lot of creativity and professionalism, a lot of knowledge and excellent service. It’s an honour to be a part of that. Thank you to all of my colleagues for making every wedding such a great work environment.
Modern Garden Wedding at The White Poplar
I absolutely LOVE working at The White Poplar and I will shout it from the rooftops! So when Tori and Ian inquired about their wedding (more than a year and a half in advance!) I was already pumped. Then they brought on the best vendor team, and a gorgeous design plan, and I was in wedding design heaven.
Tori has a really classic style, and we wanted to meet it with modern sensibility — so a crisp palette of black and white was chosen, with warm taupes and mixed greens added.

“Lauren, I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful work. It was truly better than I could have imagined! I spent so much time on the dance floor just staring at the arch, it was insane!! Thank you thank you thank you 💕”
— Tori and Ian
There’s something about the shape of Tori’s beautiful gown that reminds me of Maria from The Sound of Music. It is so refined! Her pearl-dotted hair and veil were the perfect finishing touches. And isn’t the green tone they bridesmaids chose gorgeous? This was a September wedding, so we definitely didn’t have “fall” leaves yet but the richness of the green was very seasonally appropriate.
Tori requested a classic cascading bouquet, and I initially made it WAY too big because the flowers were just so lush and divine. Late summer is the perfect time for locally grown flowers, and we had them in abundance for Tori.
If you’ve been around here a while, you know that I’m a lover of lots of colour. That’s just my personal preference, but part of that is also because a lot of white weddings look the same. Designers tend to gravitate toward their few favourite ingredients, so it’s tricky to see how to pull through the client’s individual style along with the designer’s style.
I actually designed quite a lot of white weddings this year, and I made it a mission to make them each unique. My secret weapon: locally grown flowers. Tori’s wedding had SO many.
Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: white lisianthus, roses, dahlias, anemones, sweet pea, and snowberry combined with olive and stephanotis vines.
One of many reasons why The Poplar is an incredible place to get married: the photo ops! The natural setting is really stunning.
This ceremony because such a beautiful focal point for the day! Their service was personal and relaxed, and of course, I loved the florals. When your backdrop is a wall of trees, we need to be careful with a green and white palette, so that the arch you’re investing money into doesn’t get blend right into the scenery.
The couple loved the idea of an asymmetrical 2 piece arch, with full white and green coverage. Gorgeous — but also, very easy to end up looking like every other white and green wedding. It’s always a priority for me to make each wedding look unique, so I decided to focus on selecting ingredients that would feel fresh.
For any white wedding, I almost always use playa blanca roses. They open up HUGE and have such a gorgeous shape. But again, even though they’re the perfect rose, I needed to add something that would be unique. So, I cut and dried locally grown green hydrangea — they dry exactly like they look fresh, so I didn’t have to worry about a water source. We clustered these in different groupings along the arch structure, and then focused on lots of white lisianthus (locally grown, whenever I can get them!), the roses, white delphinium for a few fluttery touches, and some clustered white ball dahlias.
We added 2 large arrangements at the back of the aisle to tie the entire space together.
Reception time! The building at The White Poplar is so great — those large front doors, the patio leading to the ceremony site, and all those clear walls make for a great blank space.
The first thing guests saw when they entered was this beautiful seating chart, where we repurposed the aisle flowers. The tables flowed from there, with long tables lining the centre of the room and round tables along the outsides. A sweetheart table was positioned in front of the fireplace.
Soiree Event Planning chose the perfect matte black flatware to accent the industrial black chairs, and a gorgeous dark olive napkin. For the long tables, we clustered petite arrangements in black and grey smoke glass vases (all white, mostly locally grown florals!), and added in ribbed grey smoke glass votives along with soft green taper candles.
The round tables featured a fuller floral arrangement in a matte black vase, complimented by assorted sizes and styles of candles for a more collected but still modern look.
Tip for weddings at The White Poplar: affix your place cards to your menus, and tuck them into your napkins. It can be very windy out there!
Tori and Ian literally told me that flowers weren’t a huge priority for them, but what was a priority was the overall design, and making sure that everything was the appropriate scale and just “felt right.” We went through a few revisions of the floral plan to make sure that we had it right, and I think it came together pretty perfectly between the simpler but still interesting floral centrepieces and the way we repurposed the ceremony florals.

Modern Architectural Inspired Wedding at the Leaf
It’s finally time to share SO MUCH DETAIL from this architecturally-inspired editorial I designed at The Leaf!
My vision was something chic, sculptural, and heavily influenced by the use of a single type of flower (in this case, white lilies). The slatted wood wall in the mezzanine area of The Leaf was absolute perfect backdrop for the strong lines I wanted to create.

I’m going to start with a very quick visual overview of the design elements, and then get down into some nitty gritty of the pricing for you!

Aren’t these details just perfection! I’m so grateful to all of the wedding professionals who helped me bring this to life. It takes a team, friends!
The tabletop was a labour of love to design. Pretty early on, I decided that I wanted to use Planned Perfectly’s toffee linen and Union Table’s matte black flatware with ribbed glassware, but I hemmed and hawed over the place settings. I’m so glad I chose the speckled plates because they add such fun!
Multiple sculptural floral centrepieces are featured down the table, accented with ribbed olive green candles, black trays with fresh fruit, and chains of hyacinth blooms, which added some really fun, modern whimsy.
How much do you think this bridal bouquet costs?
Bridal Bouquet Ingredients:
Freesia
Tweedia
Hellebore
Mini Cymbidium Orchids
Allium
Looped Hyacinth Chains
And finished with hand died silk ribbon from
Tono and Co
BRIDAL BOUQUET COST: $435
This bouquet was a bit of a trial for me — because it wasn’t at all what I had planned on. Almost none of the flowers that I ordered for it actually came in! I envisioned a bouquet that was on the smaller side, with a chic, highly textured design, with these hyacinth chains as a major focal point. That’s basically the only element that came together the way I had originally intended.
That being said, sometimes we have to roll with what we can, especially when we’re working with live, perishable product! The lime cymbidium orchids were perfect for tying through that bright chartreuse tone I needed, and while I didn’t plan on using the white freesia, I loved the warm yellow in the centre and the linear stem shape.
Most of my bridal bouquets aren’t this high cost, but the ingredients I used are mostly premium product and that comes with a higher price tag.
I love wandering around the Tropical Biome at the Leaf, but I didn’t want Erika’s portraits to feel too “wedding photos at the Leaf.” Keila took my vision of clean, bright, fine art meets tropical and played up the atmosphere and the way it supported Erika’s modern column gown, rather than going too typical and obvious.
This is the Aesling Sagrada gown. It’s chic, minimal lines paired with the dramatic (detachable!) cape is what drew me to it. It was perfect for this architectural vision!
Get the Look
The arch was my personal focal point; I wanted something strong, something modern, and choosing to focus on just one ingredient type is not at all common, but forcing myself to stick to just one element allowed me to really play up the star shaped flower.
I tucked in a few double lilies for a softer texture here and there, which were absolutely divine.
Add in a set of minimal black chivari chairs, and you’ve got quite a cool ambiance thanks to that slatted wall and lily arch combo! If there’s a piece of architectural interest at your venue, consider how you can play it up.
THIS CAKE. Jenna did an amazing job, as always!! This wafer paper design feels feminine, structural, and really strong all at the same time. I honestly cringe at the thought of how long this must have taken her to make! The vertically applied wafer paper is reminiscent of that slatted wood wall I took so much inspiration from, and I love the way she curved it around the cake, and added some delicate movement to it. Cake perfection.
I remember gasping when I opened up the stationery suite from Rae + Dot. They used a speciality printing technique called blind debossing to add a three-dimensional ribbed texture to the paper, again perfectly hearkening back to the slatted wood wall that I love so much. I had requested a patterned envelope liner, and suggested that an architectural take on a lily bloom would be cool. The line drawing with the warm toffee paper was AMAZING.
Isn’t Erika absolutely gorgeous? She ALWAYS is, by the way. It’s kind of irritating how beautiful she is. Jessica Kmiec went pink and glowy on her, and Bailey pulled her hair back with these striking pearl hair pins. Chic, modern, goddess. Yeah baby.
Erika also helped me set the table and helped me clean up, and I’m so grateful to you 😘

Not to toot my own horn (too much), but I happen to be really good at this. I’d be thrilled to design an incredible atmosphere and accompanying florals for your wedding.
Moody Fashion-Forward Wedding at the Hotel Fort Garry
Being part of Sarah and Scott’s moody, fashion-forward wedding at the Fort Garry Hotel last fall was such a delight.
The flowers were not a huge priority for her — and while most of my couples do put a large emphasis on their florals, I know that many couples out there are in the same place as Sarah! And that’s totally, totally fine.
So instead of doing florals all over the place, we kept a close eye on their budget and chose multi-purpose pieces that would highlight a few key areas, and let Sarah’s fashion be the central design moment.

Sarah wanted to go smaller and simpler for her bridal bouquet, keeping it a little more chic and not take away from her dress.
Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: baby’s breath, cream and white spray roses, and playa blanca roses.
I don’t normally post this many portraits and fashion shots, but this gallery from Michael & Melanie is just SO gorgeous. Sarah is all about the fashion and her bridal looks were absolutely divine, so I needed to share a bit more than usual.
The overskirt? The perfect sleeve length? The way she just shimmered? Amazzzing. It’s an Eva Lendel gown, that fate lined up perfectly to make sure she found, on a pre-loved wedding dress site while she was in London, England, of all places. Amazing!!
“Anyone who was on my bridal era journey with me from the beginning knew I didn’t want a lot of flowers initially, but then I found Stone House Creative and immediately changed my mind. Lauren brings a new vision and creativity to this industry I haven’t seen a match for. Her ability to execute someone’s vision is incredible. Thank you for creating such a beautiful backdrop for our celebrations of love.” — Sarah
This ceremony setup has since become one of my most-requested designs by other couples, which is super fun! Sarah wasn’t quite sure what she wanted, but after deciding that she DID want to go with floral decor and tossing around a few ideas, she felt that she needed to reign in the budget. It was actually her idea to repurpose the tall centrepieces and arrange them as an altar around them.
We rented in the mixed clear and gold pedestals, and while we were setting everything up, I decided to call an audible and remove some of the tall stands so the florals were resting right on the pedestals. This added a lot more dimension, created a more designed feeling, and a feeling that that they were floating.
The tall florals were brought over to the guest tables at the reception, paired up with shorter floral arrangements in gold-rimmed vases. I had no idea that the Fort Garry had reupholstered their chairs in this pink tone, but it was lucky! They actually worked perfectly with Sarah’s overall design.
Winnipeg friends will know. Jeanne’s cake, anyone? (I’ve personally never been that into them…aside from the chocolate shavings, which I love)
Sarah’s got a pretty cool story about her second dress — she had admired this designer for years (Valdrin Sahiti, known for dressing Khloe Kardashian and Beyonce!!), so she flew to their headquarters in Kosovo (after travelling through Europe to try on wedding dresses everywhere she could find), and met with the design team. She then got hit with a wave of indecision, and couldn’t decide on anything that she loved! She ended up coming home, but kept thinking it over…and finally, figured out the custom designed gown that would be perfect for her. The designers shipped it to her just 8 days before the wedding, complete with 1000+ hand-sewn feathers onto the skirt of the dress.

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.

Colour Palette Inspo 1: Pastels
One of the main things I’m seeing for next year is pastels on pastels. 10 years ago we did a ton of romantic pastels, and it’s back in a big Taylor Swift-loving way. But, we’re not just going to go sugar sticky sweet with baby pinks and blues and lavenders. We’ll amp it up in a modern way, of course! That might be a hint of lime or a few pops of saturated pinks that blend with the softer tones, like in the image below.
One of the best ways to ensure that you’ll love your pastel palette is to use locally grown flowers. Locally grown flowers are the BEST for blending a delicious palette (but, of course, you’re limited on the season). We’ll often see multiple tones within a single local bloom, which is what gives us the ability to blend that palette and create something with depth for you.
Below is one of my favourite bouquets I designed this year, in a lovely pastel fluttery combination that was meant to compliment her fluttery ethereal dress. We used more saturated peaches and lavenders throughout the decor flowers, but her bouquet was light and dreamy.
Colour Inspo 2: Reds
Just like in fashion, red has been all the rage in weddings and it’ll continue to move that way for another year or two. I know that a lot of you are afraid of red. You don’t have to be. Yes, it’s bold and it makes a statement BUT do you really want to spend a lot of money on a wedding that doesn’t make any statement at all?
A few ways to play with this:
-Go for a full monochromatic look. Shades of red together is really strong and delicious. I remember a former boss of mine softly suggesting to a bride that she not choose red and white, because it would look like the target symbol…amen to that! If you’re going to go for a bold tone like red, then fully commit to get the most impact.
-Red can read very classic. It can also read very modern, or very bold, etc etc. Choose what direction you want to go and make sure to communicate that to your floral designer, because different shades or varieties of flowers will make or break your look.
-Don’t be afraid to darken your palette for a moody fall/winter wedding, or play it up with some chartreuse or caramel tones for something more summery and fun.
Above are two images from a recent fall wedding we designed at the WAG with Soiree Event Planning. The creative brief called for deep, moody tones of burgundies, dark reds, and plums with architecturally-inspired designs. Obviously we LOVED IT. Much more to come!
Colour Inspo 3: Soft Yellows
This is obviously an extension of the pastel palettes, but one shade I expect we’ll be seeing a lot of (and that I would LOVE to design for you!!) is soft yellow. This hue has a naturally wildflower look to it, and pairs beautifully with soft greens and whites for a really fresh feel. I think soft yellow is best when left on its own or in a simple pairing like these images below, but you could also tuck in a bit of pale pink for some more femininity.
Now, one thing to know is that there aren’t a ton of readily available soft yellow flowers. It’s strange — some of our local growers specifically save seed from their blooms that have been paler than others, so that they can try to encourage the lighter tones more. So, the key is just to avoid using anything that’s too bright, and then working with your fashion and stationery choices to bring in more of that soft yellow. And don’t be put off if your florist suggests something that’s “cream” because that can be the perfect way to pull it together!
