Blue flowers…what can I say? There aren’t alot of them, unless you start colouring them and don’t get me started on that.

I’m from the school of thought that if Mother Nature doesn’t make them that way then short of a very natural tint, it’s best to stay away. The flowers don’t much care for the process either.

The colour itself as part of a wedding colour theme is ever popular from shades of midnight blue to ice blue and everywhere in between.

One of the flowers that does come in lovely delicate shade of a pale blue is the hydrangea.  It’s a beautiful compliment to any colour, but most especially with a crisp white for a lovely winter theme.

I always find myself saying that colour is everything, even above the flowers themselves.

It sets the tone whether the flowers are ultimately carnations or tropical orchids.

Weddings in the fall and winter are a great time to take advantage the colour has to offer.

White can enhance the crispness of the season or you can change things up entirely and choose to heat things up with red.

Whether it’s a simple bouquet to set the tone or room full of this vibrant colour, it’s always one that can be relied upon for making a stylish statement.

“Can you do deep tones in the spring and light fresh tones in the fall?”

It’s a question I get all the time.  It’s also a question that gets many a bride confused when beginning the planning for her wedding flowers and for the overall visual look of the wedding.

Those of you who have been reading my blog for any length of time would know what my answer to this question would be.

The answer is yes if it speaks to you and if it’s the one that makes you feel happy inside when you imagine all the flowers in that colour.

Hilde’s colour scheme and hence her flowers are such an example. The fall dahlia put together in a fresh and dainty for her fall wedding. It’s all good, because it’s what made her happy and that’s what most important.

Birds of a feather flock together. We’ve all heard the phrase.

I’m so proud to say that I have the pleasure of being in the company of some really cool clients!

Open to new ideas and little twists to make their flowers and honest reflection of their style on their day.

Coming on a referral from her best friend April whose wedding flowers I designed over three years ago, Elyse and Rusell were such a couple.

The selection of personal flowers really said it all. Delicate white feature accents for her bridal bouquet and baby succelents for his boutonnieres.

It’s official that strange, but welcomed warm spell that felt like summer has given way to cool temperatures and the glorious turning of the leaves.

In honour of this seasonally glory, I wanted to share a burnt harvest orange bouquet I create for Sabrina for her lovely fall wedding to Nolan.

Pink is one of those eternally sweet colours.

Paired with white, it is a romantic combination that is always lovely.

This was the colour combintion for Anne and Mark’s late September wedding.

Her bouquet of pink and white floral wrapped with a lace ribbon provided the bride set the tone.

The ceremony at The Church Of The Good Shepherd in Thornhill  carried over the theme to the reception at Yang’s Fine Chinese Cuisine.

I unintentionally did things backwards.

I only realized after that I didn’t feature the bridal bouquet from Nicolle and Kevin’s wedding that I featured last week.

Again, as always, one of a kind.

The “backlash” continues against the unwitting rose.

It’s seen as “too ordinary”, “overdone”, “too supermarket”.

But I can tell you from the point of view of having created hundreds and hundreds of bouquets with almost every flower and colour combination, there will always be something timelessly beautiful about a rose.

Of course, having said that it can always be given a little twist. In this case, crystal accents and black wire looping for a modern feel.

While pinks and purples are always timeless and beautiful, peaches while much less common are equally as beautiful.

Such was the theme for Jacylyn and Darko’s wedding. Perfect for a mid-summer wedding.

I love all the different ways that the possibilities for a client’s wedding flowers develops.

Sometimes I get a whole spreadsheet and at other times, just a few words of inspiration.

In Alyssa’s case, it was a peacock feather.

Have you ever looked at one closely and noticed all the colours that can be found there?

Well, it provided all the inspiration I needed!

It was incorporated into the bridal bouquet and then the rest of the wedding carried the colours of chartreuse green, amethyst and fushia pink all aglow with candlelight!
