When Dora first contacted me she wanted a “white wedding” with a bit of red. Travis planned on wearing his red serge RCMP uniform instead of a traditional suit, which left Dora struggling to balance the red of his uniform. A few months later, after seeing a wedding on my website, Dora changed her colour palette to pink and red.  I’ve said it before but don’t be afraid to think outside the box! Pink and red can be best friends! Shades of pink can be a nice balance to strong reds and add a dimension in colour.

Dora chose her original favourite- a white rose bouquet. We dressed it up with a bit of sparkle.  For the rest of the flowers we used the vibrant pink and red colour palette.

How cute is this little pup all decked out in his tux for the day!?

Congratulations Dora and Travis, you’re a great couple and it was a real pleasure planning with you and designing your wedding flowers!

Angie wanted her flowers to really be different and unique. She is definitely not a “white wedding” kind of gal. Her and Jimmy are fun and funky and we wanted their wedding flowers to reflect that, but we still wanted to make sure they were elegant. “Funky elegant!” It can be done!  Since the bridesmaids wore black, we had free range in terms of colours.  Angie had complete trust in me and my vision (thanks Angie!) and was completely on board when I showed her examples using the colour palette of plums, magentas, deep purples, blues, fuchsia with a hit of green! We ended up with stunning, lush flowers that certainly didn’t fade into the background!

The Bouquets were composed of Coolwater roses, hydrangea, local dahlias, callas, phaleanopsis, cymbidium and dendrobium orchids. I really love how they turned out!

We kept the boutonnieres and corsages fairly simple by using callas and orchids for all.

In keeping with the unique, vibrant and lush floral theme, the centerpieces were a combination of amazing large green callas for the tall and a mix similar to the bouquets for the low.

The next series of photos were sent to us from HRM Photography. The very talented Heather did an amazing job capturing the day!  You can take a look at her blog for more photos and details about the day.  On HRM’s blog, Angie lists the flowers as her favourite detail! That always makes my day!

Angie’s dad surprised her by renting a horse and carriage for the day!

I love the contrast of the bouquets against the black bridesmaids dresses.

I’m always so impressed by the photos from HRM but check out this one, so incredible! And just to bring this back to the flowers- doesn’t her bouquet just look awesome against that stunning blue sky?

The Bridesmaids carried bouquets of Orange roses and Mokara orchids. We added gorgeous local dahlias to the Bride’s bouquet!

The wedding took place on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving weekend can either be amazingly beautiful or can be dismally cold and rainy. Luckily for Amie and Andre, the weather was PERFECT! They were married just outside of London in a small rural church on farmland that used to be owned by their family (Amie’s parent’s live in the family farmhouse just one road over and still own farm land in the area).  I have to say that delivering and setting up this wedding was a real treat. I certainly can’t complain! From delivering to the family farmhouse, to the rural church and then on to the beautiful Bellamere Winery, I enjoyed the gorgeous day- the country setting was more than idealic!  I could have stayed forever enjoying the warm October sun and watching the breeze travel over the fields.

The bouquets-

I just love the mix of blues, cranberries, ivories and plums! Love how they pop against the bridesmaid’s dresses!

Below are some shots at the charming Littlewood church.

At Bellamere, the centerpieces were a mix of low in galvanised silver buckets and tall on clear glass vases.

This wedding had lots of great personal touches. Check out the adorable owl cake topper that was made by Amie’s mom.
