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.

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.

If I had to describe Lesley and Renato’s wedding at the Thompson Hotel it would have to be glamourous elegance with a modern touch for two of the most down to earth people.

The nuptials at the Church of the Rdeemer right on the corner of Bloor and Avenue Road were an adventure to say the least! There’s nothing like stopping your truck right on the corner to unload the flowers!

The guest tables at the evening reception were overflowing with roses, peonies and hydrangea and were all aglow with elegant candle clusters while the backdrop created for a cascade of candles and walls were accented with white and deep pink lighting.

Getting married underneath blue skies on a sunny day. It’s picturesque and a lovely thought.

One major consideration that doesn’t always come to mind first is the more subtle aspects of the weather since your right in it.

There will always be a breeze.  Even if it’s ever so gentle. That’s what we would want especially if it’s a slightly warmer day, right?

However, this breeze depending on how subtle it can also keep things from looking just so.

It will move things, whether it’s the gentle swaying of the fabric draped on an arbour or the runner that’s been laid on the floor. Flowers arrangements that have enough weight so that slightly stronger winds won’t take them away are also things you’ll rely on your florist to keep in mind for you.

Maggie and Jeremy’s winter wedding at Graydon Hall this past weekend was truly lovely.

The evening began with a ceremony in the chapel under a traditional Jewish chuppah

and celebrations took place afterward in the dining hall filled with floral encircled lanterns to greet the guests at their tables.

A soft white combined with varying shades of lavender and royal purple were the colours of choice for this late February wedding.

I must be on a roll. Two wedding features in one month!

Because I see every wedding I do as unique and distinct, I’m sometimes not immediately aware that the colours are “trendy” at the moment or the specific varieties of flowers are all the rage.

My choices are always about being the best and most reflective of my clients.

So, needless to say, it wasn’t until I looked back that I realized the colours chosen for Jessica and Ben had been featured, combined and stylized in the latest editions of the wedding magazines until I happened to be perusing one day.

Purple.

It’s one of those shades that is timelessly beautiful. Whether your preference is for the light shades of lavender and mauve or the richness that the deep purples can offer, it’s elegance as a colour choice is obvious.

From a elegant adorned aisle for their garden wedding accented with the lushness of these amethyst toned flowers to the centerpieces in the Hall to complete, it was timeless example of what this colour can be.

I’ve been fully immersed in weddings for the past couple of months and haven’t had a chance to feature some of the amazing clients I have had the chance to work whose weddings took place recently, so I’m so pleased to be able write this post about Christine and Ian.

I met Christine in the fall of last year to discuss floral possibilities for her wedding the following spring. All of it was the take place in the Distillery District a place well regarded for ceremonies in the surrounding art galleries and receptions in the numerous excellent restaurants that are situated there.

The combination of the surroundings in addition to her exquisite choice for spring flowers made for a stunning and elegant combination.

The ceremony eventally took place at the Arta Gallery and the dinner reception took place at the acclaimed Boiler House Restaurant.

As complete as I try to keep the information on my website, I still get asked about the services that I offer so I’ve decided that every once in a while, I will bump up a post that I’ll create that will offer a comprehensive list of services.

One of the questions that I get asked frequently is “Do You Do Chuppahs?”

And the answer is “Yes!”

It falls within the two realms of requirements for ceremony and decor and is certainly a symbolic focal point for those who are of Jewish faith and heritage.

It’s really quite a lovely idea as it symbolizes the home that the couple will build together.

Also, as much as it serves a very symbolic importance, its appearance these days can vary as much as the personalities of the couples getting married.  Aside from the four poles and the covering that connects them together, the choice of colours and materials is endless.

With the dahlia season still going strong for the next few weeks, I wanted to share some more images from Erin and Kevin’s wedding.

Stunning centerpieces to continue the theme of burnt orange and lime green and the look was completed with a shimmering candlescape at the sweetheart table.

I have a prediction.

After peonies, the next flower to garner the favour of brides will be … the dahlia.

For those of you who have yet to be introduced to this seasonal gem, they are to be found in the early summer to the middle of fall and they are absolutely gorgeous.

A few weeks I had the pleasure of using this beautiful bloom as the focal flower for Erin and Kevin’s wedding at the stunning Vaughan Estate at the Estates of Sunnbrook.

This glorious combination of stunning orange dahlias and lime green spider mums, poms and berries was carried thoughout the entire wedding from bouquets, to ceremony arrangements. 

The look was completed with matching centerpieces and a stunning candlescape for their sweetheart table which I’ll share in next week’s post.
