			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look out, there are new rules in town!  Well, not so new really.  Whoever said that you can’t mix pink and red, or brown and black?  This wedding shows just how awesome pinks and reds can look together! For this September wedding at The Old Court House, we paired gorgeous pink and red flowers with rich chocolate browns, and light mocha browns to create a dramatic effect!</p>
<p>The bridesmaids’ bouquets consisted of hot pink roses, vibrant red roses and pink cymbidium orchids.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-267" title="833MJ0061" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/833MJ0061.jpg" alt="bouquets" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-270" title="833MJ0208" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/833MJ0208.jpg" alt="bridesmaids with bouquets" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p>To soften things up a bit for the bride, soft pink roses were incorporated in her bouquet.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-272" title="833MJ0353" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/833MJ0353.jpg" alt="bride's bouquet with rings" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p>The sweet flower girls carried mini pink and red bouquets.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-268" title="833MJ0111" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/833MJ0111.jpg" alt="mini flower girl bouquets" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p>Two large vibrant arrangements framed the outdoor ceremony.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-269" title="833MJ0205-col" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/833MJ0205-col.jpg" alt="Ceremony arrangements" width="900" height="400" /></p>
<p>A couple of the groomsmen looking good in their coordinating pink callas!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-271" title="833MJ0308" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/833MJ0308.jpg" alt="Groomsmen's boutonnierres" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p>Inside The Old Court House, the centerpieces were a combination of short and tall. See if you can spot the red dahlias, they’re locally grown in all sorts of glorious colours and my favourite for late summer!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-274" title="833MJ0411-col" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/833MJ0411-col.jpg" alt="centerpieces" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-273" title="833MJ0395" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/833MJ0395.jpg" alt="Head table decor" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-275" title="IMG_9308-col" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_9308-col.jpg" alt="centerpieces" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p>An impressive “blooming” tree of pink and red orchids greeted the guests upon their entrance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Laura and Adam were married at his parent’s home just outside London. It is a spectacular property with sprawling lawns- perfect for an outdoor tent wedding! It was an incredibly hot July day (I must admit I was very tempted by their glistening blue pool), but the couple had planned for the heat and had two gigantic fans helping to keep the tent cool. From the looks of the photos, the heat didn’t bother anyone in the least! Congratulations Laura and Adam, I wish you all the best!</p>
<p>Laura’s bouquet was composed of dahlias, roses, orchids and celosia.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-244" title="0005-col" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0005-col.jpg" alt="Bride's Bouquet" width="900" height="670" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-245" title="0042-col" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0042-col.jpg" alt="Bride with bouquet" width="900" height="451" /></p>
<p>The bridesmaids carried similar bouquets except we also added in mini orange gerberas and green berries. Check out their neat dresses! (You may not be able to notice this detail in the photos, but the two-toned pink roses in the bouquets are the same two pinks found in the dresses!)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-246" title="0056" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0056.jpg" alt="Bridal party" width="900" height="599" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-247" title="0058" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0058.jpg" alt="Bridal party" width="900" height="599" /></p>
<p>The men wore pink callas to compliment their ties.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-248" title="0092" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0092.jpg" alt="Groom &amp; Groomsmen" width="900" height="599" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-250" title="0231" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0231.jpg" alt="Wedding party" width="900" height="599" /></p>
<p>The ceremony was held outdoors framed by an archway of gerberas and two large arrangements.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-249" title="0164-col" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0164-col.jpg" alt="Ceremony" width="900" height="596" /></p>
<p>Inside the tent, we continued the bright and fun theme with square centerpieces of hydrangea, gerberas, roses and hypericum berries.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-251" title="0337" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0337.jpg" alt="Centerpieces" width="900" height="599" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-252" title="0339" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0339.jpg" alt="Inside the tent" width="900" height="599" /></p>
<p>Always re-use!  The ceremony arrangements served double duty when they became the backdrop.  They held up really well too considering it was over 30 degrees!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-253" title="0359-col" src="http://www.blog.designsinbloom.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0359-col.jpg" alt="Head table with ceremony arrangements" width="900" height="299" /></p>
<p>I just love my job and that I get to play a part in such amazing events.  Just look at the joy on this adorable bride’s face!  Another fantastic and fun wedding!</p>
