Elegant Fall Wedding with Fun Colour Palette

I’m continuing to catch up on sharing stories from last fall’s weddings, and today we’re looking at Tatiana and Kevin’s! They planned an elegant fall wedding, with a fun colour palette and some moody details.

One of my personal highlights from the day was setting up the ceremony arch. We were working in the garden, enjoying the flowers, and just peeking through the fence at the wedding party taking their photos. They were so happy, so chill, the bridesmaid dress selection was gorgeous, and it looked like they were having just the best day — which is exactly how we want you to feel!

See what I mean about a fun colour palette and a great combination of bridesmaid dresses? Everything feels rich, layered, with a cinnamon-and-spice vibe. The varied textures and fabrics of the dresses are gorgeous, too, and I happen to think the flowers look quite delicious in those hands.

The Flowers

Moody, elegant, and romantic. Tatiana wanted the flowers to do a lot of the work within the overall design. She liked gardenesque shapes and luscious flower-filled designs. I designed a pretty large bouquet for her, with smaller, coordinating bouquets for the bridesmaids.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: nina roses, salmon ranunculus, toffee roses, plum scabiosa, plum dahlias, antique carnations, ninebark and nandina foliages.

The Colour Palette

One thing I love about fall weddings is the saturated colour palettes. Now, don’t hear what what I’m not saying: just because it’s fall, doesn’t mean you need to do a Crayola bright orange/red/yellow palette. I will almost never suggest this, because it mostly looks like a Dollarama wedding and that’s just not the vibe.

What I AM saying is, go for the colour. Add in richness and depth with deep shades, add in vibrancy and warmth with something bold, and blend it all together with variegated foliages.

For Tatiana and Kevin’s palette, we planned to use 70% bright and deep reds, with 30% accents of salmon/toffee/blush pink. Her bouquet would not have looked or felt the same without the deep reds/burgundies in there. That result would have been a lot less moody, and it would have been more difficult to create a feeling of elegance. You need some variation and depth to bring that about.

The Ceremony

Let’s pause for a moment and talk about how adorable this flower girl is!! Walking down the aisle and scattering her petals, only to walk back and pick them up. So sweet!

The ceremony was held in the Bonnycastle Gardens at the Manitoba Club, to the sounds of a very cool live jazzy/punk trio and with a fair bit more wind than I like to have 🫠 The welcome sign kept blowing over (granted, it was very lightweight, as they almost always are) but the arch was well weighted down and it stayed put (thank goodness! I could always do without wind!).

The arch was always going to be a focal point. The Garden has a perfect nook that overlooks the Upper Fort Garry gate, and it’s just a really lovely setting! I went for full greenery coverage (with the most delicious nandina foliage) and we went for a little more dark burgundy as the base here, so the golden toffee tones and the bright reds stood out more. One of my favourite elements was the really dark lilies — adding in a star shaped flower here and there can really bring a design to life!

The Reception

Reception time! The reception was in the Provencher Ballroom on the main floor of the Fort Garry, which is conveniently right across the street from the Manitoba Club. This meant that we could set up the reception while the ceremony was going on, then pop across the street to grab the arch post-ceremony, and wheel it into the Provencher Room on trolleys! I’ll tell you what, it’s pretty fun crossing the street with a big floral arch! It feels very New York.

We repurposed the arch behind the head table, to which we added a low, lush floral piece that coordinated. Guest tables were all round, and they chose toffee linens from Planned Perfectly with gold chairs from Collective. This was such an elegant base and looked perfect with the Provencher Room’s warm neutral walls.

We elected to go with 2 coordinating styles of table centrepieces: on half, a low, lush floral arrangement in a hammered copper bowl, and on the other half, a trio of stem vases with black taper candles. Both looked awesome, adding pops of colour and flickering candlelight throughout the room.

One look at this photo to the right, and you’ll understand my plea to never have coffee cups pre-placed on the tables. See how much space these things take up? If it’s a brunch wedding and you know that everyone’s going to have a coffee, then sure. But otherwise, ask your venue if you can have coffee service at the bar/tableside, or if there can be a coffee station set up!

Modern, Sculptural Wedding at The Winnipeg Art Gallery

Happy anniversary to one of my very favourite weddings of all time! Jacqueline and Michael were married last October in a moody, modern wedding at the Winnipeg Art Gallery.

They wanted to create the atmosphere of really intimate dinner party, but with a full guest list of 130. Their style tends toward the modern and they weren’t afraid of using rich, deep reds and burgundies, so you know I had a ton of fun planning out at then executing the floral design.

The Bridal Bouquet

I remember Jacqueline telling me that she wasn’t that fussed about her bouquet. And I was like, “well, I’m fussed.” ha! Bouquets are definitely one of my favourite things to design and the moment of handing it over to you on your wedding day is so thrilling — many brides cry, realizing that the day is really here.

So all that to say, Jacqueline gave me a lot of creative freedom. I wanted to go a bit restrained in size, create a cool, sculptural shape, and dig into the rich tones. The bridesmaid bouquets were composed on hanging green amaranthus and black anthurium, so I repeated those ingredients into the bridal bouquet. I added in ruby peonies, cymbidium orchids, long stemmed white nerine lilies, and a base of pieris. We all loved it!

The Chuppah

The moody vibes kicked off for the ceremony under the skylight. Taupe wall draping and a deep, deep plum aisle runner added so much drama to the otherwise very light space, which felt so good. It was such a great way to ensure this space felt different than it does for most other weddings.

The chuppah itself came from Creating a Scene, and we added sculptural but minimal pockets of floral to it. I wanted this to feel really cool, but restrained — sometimes, more is not better, and in this case, we wouldn’t have been able to create that sculptural design style if we had gone with full coverage on the chuppah. I also find that when a client is asking for a more modern design, limiting the number of floral ingredients is a key choice. Too many bloom styles and you lose that feeling of sleekness. Finally, adding in long stemmed white agapanthus felt SO GOOD.

We also added sculptural floral pieces to the aisle, being very careful not to take up too much space because there wasn’t any space to spare! I kept these arrangements in keeping with the rest of the floral design: deep, saturated, and sculptural. Again, the white agapanthus had a lot of fun being the stars.

Jacqueline’s grandma walked her down the aisle, and those moments were just so sweet and beautiful. And what a chic ensemble!

The Ambiance

Creating an intimate feel and a fun ambiance was a top priority for the couple — they really wanted their wedding to feel like a cool dinner party. That’s not the easiest thing to do when you have 130 people on the guest list, so Soiree got to work making sure all the decisions made would fit that dinner party vibe, with a moody style. Food, wine, flowers, and decor were top priorities to make that happen.

With that as our goal, I knew I didn’t want all of the tables to look exactly the same. I created a very specific, colour-coded centrepiece map that outlined the 7 different centrepiece styles I planned. This allowed us to repeat similar elements, which streamlined our design time, but creating unique feeling tablescapes so no one would ever look around and see the exact same thing over and over again.

The repetition of black and smoky accents were such a great design choice to add that oomph to the moodiness. Black chairs and flatware, candle trays, smoke glassware, and black and smoke glass vases did the trick!

The Floral Waterfalls

Is that what we should call these floral features? It seems to fit. We debated on a few different design ideas, and I’m so happy we landed on this. With the 4 long dining tables on full display as guests entered the WAG, Jacqueline loved the idea of a spotlight floral moment that would make her guests feel wowed.

We designed these babies lush, full, and dramatic. I LOVE designing with a saturated, rich colour palette like this in the fall. It just feels so delicious! It did take me a while to get them all done, so ensuring that there’s ample on-site time is necessary!

With long tables, we don’t typically have a ton of space to add a lot of floral to. We did bump these tables up to a wider size (which I always recommend to couples going for this style of floor plan!) which added a lot more roominess, so I could add a few scattered large floral centrepieces mixed in with candles and petite arrangements.

We had such a delicious mix of ingredients for these lush arrangements — really deep antique burgundy hydrangea, dark roses, almost black anthurium, pieris, and we tucked in touches of reflexed white tulips or nerine lilies for a sculptural shape and visual interest. We also created petite sculptural pieces made entirely of burgundy button mums, and scattered burgundy amaranthus trailing down the tables, too.

One of my goals is to ensure that, no matter what your aesthetic preferences are, your florals and design are polished and details are not left unfinished. It’s easy to do that when working with a planning team like Soiree! I loved the symmetry of the desserts display below (and I desperately wanted to dig my fingers into that Jenna Rae Cakes buttercream!! lol!) and the lounges were so beautifully laid out that all we needed to do was add some gorgeous spotlight florals and a clustering of candles, and they were perfect.

LOOKING FOR A WEDDING FLORAL DESIGNER IN WINNIPEG?

Moody, Stylish Fall Wedding at Niakwa Country Club

You know when the wheat fields and aspen trees turn golden, and the sky is a moody grey blue? That was my starting point for Leanne and Kyle’s moody, stylish fall wedding.

They wanted to create intimate restaurant vibes (within a golf course banquet room), so I leant into a combination of playful, moody, and autumnal design elements. I cannot wait to dig into this one with you!

Photos by Ariana Tennyson

The Event Design

Leanne hired me for full-scale event design along with floral design. From the beginning, we had a few goals we hoped to accomplish: create an intimate restaurant vibe (despite being in a golf course banquet room), bring in a moody autumnal feel, and keep it all in the same space.

Colour palette always plays a big role for me in any design. Leanne was open to my suggestions, and had a few inspiration images that included the coral and plums. I had been ruminating on our gorgeous prairie skyline in fall, when the wheat fields are golden and the skies are a moody grey blue. I wanted to keep that as the base for my palette: golden + moody grey blues, and then layer in the coral and plum overtop.

The Floral Design

Leanne let me have a lot of fun with the flowers! Guided by the colour palette and the desire to create a lot of warmth and vibrancy, I played with the contrast between warm and cool tones.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Golden mustard roses, dahlias, tweedia, ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus, calcynia, sweet pea, scabiosa, and ninebark.

The Ceremony

The best view in the room is a wall of windows, which is also where the head table is usually positioned. I didn’t want direct light from the windows, and I wanted to soften the crispness a bit so I had Planned Perfectly install oatmeal toned drapery along the entire wall. It felt warm but still neutral.

I created a focal point for the altar, utilizing 3x modern pleated wood pedestals topped with foliage and floral pieces, and combined that with a few ground-based floral pieces. I wanted to explore the full colour palette in a modern, garden-inspired way.

The Floor Planning

So, when you’re working with a single space, and you need to have both the ceremony and the reception in it, AND you don’t have multiple hours to re-set the room completely between ceremony and reception, you have to get really organized and very creative. Niakwa has one of those partition walls that folds into the wall, or can extend to break the overall room into several smaller spaces.

We utilized that partition wall to create a back space, where we pre-set the lounge and the reception tables, ready to pull out as soon as the ceremony was cleared. It was a very tight squeeze, but was highly functional!

Once the ceremony was over, guests went into the lobby and outside for cocktail hour, and we went to work. The wall was pushed in, the chairs were pulled out, and tables moved into place for final details.

To create that restaurant vibe, one of my thoughts was to use different orientations and sizes of tables. We used some long banquet tables, full size rounds, and small rounds. I also added a lounge to the back corner with a cool lighting feature to add that moodiness.

Tabletop Styling

• Centrepieces, fruit, candles

• Personalized photos at each guest’s place setting

• Rich linen and velvet tablecloths in cool grey and blue tones

• Dim lighting — while technically nothing to do with the tabletops, it was a crucial element to creating the ambiance in the space! Event Light always does the perfect job. I told them the overall vibe I wanted to create, and let them make all the decisions.

One of the sweetest moments of the wedding came from a completely personalized design element that Leanne came up with. She had seen a tiktok where guests walked into a wedding and found personalized notes to every single guest from the couple. She and Kyle worked so hard to find a picture of each guest with either or both of the couple. Guests were so stunned when they walked in to find these at their place settings!

Adding in a lounge corner with soft seating, a lighting feature, and well-styled details was one of the elements I used to create that laidback, restaurant type of ambiance they wanted. A great restaurant almost always has that cozy seating element somewhere, some cool furniture pieces, and lots of candlelight. I love the way this one came together, from the furniture selections to the lighting feature Event Light created (they are THE best).

I’m really grateful for Kayla Lagos Events! Leanne wanted a wedding coordinator, and I recommended they talk to Kayla. She has a really calming personality, is so easy to talk to, and does such a great job of staying on top of things and making it all happen. It was great to work with Kayla on the wedding day to execute everything!

Striking Red Wedding Flowers at the Fort Garry Hotel

There’s one perfect way to describe a red wedding in my mind, and that is: STRIKING. When red is done with carefully measured intention, the design elements are unforgettable, rich, bold, and classic all at the same time.

You know me, I’m not the most traditional designer, so I wanted to make sure that I took this classic wedding palette and added a modern floral design to it. I think that my work, paired with Soiree Event Planning’s amazing design, really took a red and white palette to the next level.

“Thank you for bringing our wedding floral vision to life so beautifully! Seeing your proposal was one of the most exciting moments of the wedding planning process, and you exceeded every expectation on the big day! The red roses were everything we dreamed of and more. ”

— Brooke and Tom

The Floral Design

I am always shouting from the rooftops how much I love colour, and that includes a striking monochromatic palette. Working completely in reds was SO much fun for me. With red, I like to go either monochromatic like this, or use it as an accept to other juicy and bold tones. I have been asked many times to do red and white together, and it’s really challenging to make that work — the contrast between them is just too strong. It ends up looking like a maple leaf or polka dots (neither of which you want for your wedding).

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: Tess garden roses, Matilda roses, red piano roses, black beauty roses, and red ranunculus. I designed Brooke’s bouquet with an overall classic round shape, but with lots of depth and movement so it didn’t feel dense, compact, or dated.

The Ceremony Design

From mockup to reality! Brooke wanted moody and interesting designs, with an overall deep and luxurious feel to the event and tons of candlelight. The rich reds were just totally perfect 🥀 We used mirrored gold pedestals from Collective, and I focused on multiple floral pieces that worked together to make a large statement: larger “puffs” placed on top of pedestals, smaller puffs that I tucked onto the ground with candles, and lush snaking pieces that cascaded off and around the pedestal tops.

I love working through these digital mockups — it gives you the reassurance that you can visualize what our goal is, and helps me make decisions about what I think will be best along the way — but I love the final end product so much more. It’s so rewarding seeing it all come to life and then when you finally get to see it and enjoy it…it’s perfect!

Down the aisle, we alternated low, lush floral pieces with clusters of candles. All of this was later repurposed to the head table!

Tabletop Styling

The way these tables came together was just *chef’s kiss! Each element was very thoughtfully considered to curate elegant, classic settings and a warm ambiance. This wedding design is a perfect case study in why I love working with Soiree Event Planning — the design process is so seamless. They just know how to make things beautiful.

Linens

While I normally vote for a subtle colour in the linen, this crisp white from Planned Perfectly created such a beautiful, neutral base. Coordinating white napkins allowed the other tabletop elements to play centre stage.

Glassware and Dinnerware

The glassware was kept traditional, with a clear cut glass duo of glasses from Collective Event Rentals. Classic white chargers paired really beautifully with the soft champagne flatware from Union Table. They’re the perfect accent of metallic without being brassy or cheap looking.

Candles and Holders

I love a good mix of candles! I kept it simple with white taper candles and and votives in gut class holders (adding a layer of a classic texture). I loved the candelabras! I rented them from my friend Andrea at Addison Taylor Design after Brooke searched high and low online for a gold candelabra that didn’t look tacky or cheap. Turns out that search was really hard! The clear candelabras had a slight gold accent (I used LED candles in them), and we surrounded the base of those with red florals.

Stationery

Brooke’s friend Faith Robert designed all the stationery, and her work was the perfect subtle way to elevate the place settings. The hand-drawn monogram, the calligraphy, the handmade, deckled edge paper, and the wax seals (colour coded to meal selections) were incredibly elegant.

Floral Centrepieces

Obviously one of my favourite details! On the long tables, we created a lot of visual interest with varied heights of twinkling candles mixed with multiple sizes of monobloom floral arrangements. Keeping the arrangements in one bloom type create more of a punch, especially when working with a range of shades.

The loggia areas of The Fort Garry’s 7th floor is one of my favourite aspects of the venue.

If you book the entire 7th floor, you have ample space for guests to exit the elevators to a personalized welcome design, enjoy the ceremony in the Crystal Ballroom, serve cocktails in the hallway, and even include design elements like a seating chart with floral moment, like this one right here.

Who This Design is For

I know that red has this polarizing ability to stress people out! So here’s who this design works best for:

• Couples with a classic style who aren’t afraid of boldness.

• Weddings with a larger guest list, and a large enough venue to allow them to play with multiple table shapes and centrepiece styles.

• Planners who know how to walk the line of less is more, and won’t be tempted to add in a lot of unnecessary detail.

Classic Garden Wedding at Alloway Hall

Say you want your wedding ceremony to look like a garden, over top of your swimming pool? SAY LESS. 

Chelsea and Adam’s classic garden wedding was a dream in every way. Their joy at finally wedding after years of long distance, a stunning designer gown with details that made it look like she was surrounded by fluttery butterflies, exchanging their vows on a platform suspended over top of his family’s pool, and the complete transformation of a museum into a classic, flower-filled reception featuring 20 foot long beams dripping in fresh blooms over top the dance floor are just a few highlights. 

Photos by Brittany Mahood Photography

It’s taken me many, many months to be prepared to write this blog post. This week is Chelsea and Adam’s 1st wedding anniversary, so I decided it was finally time to dive in. Why? Because I was daunted at the idea of trying to choose favourite photos or moments from this wedding, because every single moment and every single detail was so beautifully orchestrated, intentionally designed, and required so much work. It’s hard to find a way to capture the magic that was their wedding day!

So, I’m just going to walk you through the entire day, section by section, and tell you what I absolutely loved the most and some behind the scenes at what it took to get us there.

The Bouquets

As soon as I saw a photo of Chelsea’s Elie Saab bridal gown, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for her bouquet. This dress was incredible — very classic and elegant, with added feminine detailing in 3D floral applique on the off-the-shoulder sleeves, and scattered throughout the veil. The veil in particular looked like she was surrounded by fluttering butterflies. The best way to complement this, in my mind, was sweet pea. And a TON of sweet pea. I wanted her bouquet to be a bit smaller, simpler, and just fluttery. Chelsea asked for peonies (which is a tall order in August, but my wholesaler pulled through and they were GORGEOUS!), and they enhanced the sweet pea perfectly.

The bridesmaid bouquets were simple sweet pea nosegays, which looked divine against their mixed green dresses (LITERALLY the most beautiful combination of bridesmaid dresses I’ve ever seen, which they curated from Selkie and V. Chapman).

The Ceremony

So you want your ceremony in your parents’ backyard, over top the pool? And you want it to feel like you’re exchanging vows in the middle of a garden? Yes, please!

I was so excited when Soiree Event Planning told me the plan. It wasn’t for the feint of heart (and thank goodness they were leading the charge and taking care of all logistics!) but I was up for the challenge of figuring out how to get the most amount of flowers I possibly could on that suspended altar.

My goals were to make sure it was lush, natural, and full, but also have good height. I wanted the floral to be around waist-height, which meant that a lot of math and a focus on the scale was a priority. You can see more of that process here!

The REception

There’s truly no way that I can show the reality of how stunning this reception was. Alloway Hall is the event space at the Manitoba Museum, and it’s quite a blank space with a slight industrial edge. Chelsea’s style is romantic, feminine, and with a little granny chic (floral patterns, ruffles, so cute!). Soiree Event Planning really worked SO hard to create a unique space, and soften the hard edges of the room with endless perfect details. Let’s just go one by one.

The Floor Plan

Alloway Hall is quite large, so there was ample space to have the large guest list seated for dinner on one end, a huge dance floor and band stage on the opposite end, and a large central lounge joining the two spaces. The room was functional, and gorgeous.

The Lounge, Dance Floor, and Hanging Florals

The lounge and hanging floral installation were my personal favourite design elements. I loved the dual lounges flanking the stunning wedding cake (a Jenna Rae Cakes masterpiece that mimicked the detailing on Chelsea’s dress), the furniture selection, and the perfect shades of green. We layered in some delicious floral arrangements to the lounge, and then really went for it on the ceiling installation.

We designed 2, 20 foot long, double sided floral installations (entirely in fresh flowers!), making a total of 80 linear feet of impression florals that hung low enough to make an impressive statement but not get in the way of the dance floor, set in between those 2 long floral beams.

The Guest Tables

We had a mix of long banuqet tables and round tables. With soaring ceilings, we chose to go tall and full on the round tables, and Chelsea envisioned long, lush florals on the banquet tables. One of the things I always aim to include in my tabletop designs is a lot of undulating movement — think waves, rising and falling smoothly, keeping your eye moving along the length of the table. This means high points, low points, candlelight and florals, and sweet details to create pockets of visual interest.

The green flatware was definitely a personal favourite detail, as well as the stationery! Alloway Hall doesn’t allow real flame, so we used my LED candles — they cost me a fortune, but they’re SO nice and look really realistic!

The Head Table

And now to the head table! Sometimes it feels like there’s only so much that can be done to make a head table design interesting, but it is naturally a display piece in the room and everyone’s attention is on it multiple times throughout the night. Chelsea loves hydrangea, so I wanted to use as much as I could here, with extra roses and lush floral arrangements tucked throughout.

The main statement was the arched backdrop behind the head table, which really helped to frame the wedding party in the very large room. We added an absolute ton of smilax to the backdrop, to create a lot of depth against the white walls.

The Bar

The bar was so special! With such a large guest list, they needed a large bar to accommodate everyone, so this was a substantial beast that was custom built for the wedding. Soiree custom-designed the wallpaper for the bar back, we added some floral touches, and mostly tried to keep it as functional as possible while still looking phenomenal.

I can’t believe it’s already been a year! All of your weddings are incredible celebrations, but some have a lot more moving parts and details to sort out, so this one was really rewarding for me. I love the logistical aspect of my job, figuring out how all of the pieces are going to come together and how to do the best job of some of these more spectacular pieces. I’ll forever be grateful to Chelsea and Adam for choosing me to design their wedding, to Soiree and the entire vendor team who made this such a streamlined and successful event, and to my amazing team of designers and setup staff who worked tirelessly to pull everything off. These types of events are not done by just 1 or 2 people — it was a team effort for sure!
