With and Without Decor
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011We all know the difference that decor can make and yet it’s not any less surprising everytime we seen a transformation.
The styles, colours, accents and lighting create a different look everytime.
Glamorous Elegance At The Thompson Hotel
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011
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.
Fabulous Spring Wedding Flowers
Wednesday, May 11th, 2011Last post, I featured Lisa and Tony’s personal flowers. This week I want to give you a little glimpse into how the flowers for the bouquet carried over to the centerpieces.
An account of black could be found everywhere for the simple gathered backdrop I created for them along with the runner to tie everything together for a little hint of modern flair.
“Do You Offer Chuppahs?”
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009As 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.
How To Decorate Wedding Cake With Flowers
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009It’s probably not one of the first things on the list of priorities when figuring out where or for whom you’ll need flowers.
In fact, it’s usually one of the decisions that’s almost an afterthought. They have a cake and now what?
Adding flowers to a simple cake (typically tone or tone or accented with a simple ribbon around the base) is one of the simplest and easiest was to tie the cake to the choice of flowers and colours for the wedding.
Depending on the style, they can be placed at the base of each tier or all can be kept simple and a topper can be created for the top.
The Rise of Wedding Decor
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009As a wedding florist I have always considered myself to be the one whose primary role it is to bring together the visual part of the wedding so anything that falls into this framework (such as linens and décor) I have always considered within my domain.
While there is no better or classic way to bring the “life” and “fresh” element to a wedding, the look of a wedding is more than just the petals and the stems.
While some ideas are trends that pass within a single season, there are those that come and permanently change the way the visual element of the wedding is presented.
These elements in the linens and décor.
Once reserved for only the most exclusive of weddings that we might see featured in a celebrity magazine that details hundreds yards of cashmir that were flown in to cover a tent and tables covered with finest of silk taffetas in the most divine of colours, today this look and feel is available to any couple planning a wedding.
For most in the past, “upgrading” meant perhaps changing up the linens from the standard polyester in white or ivory to a brocade or damask in a similar neutral tone and switching out the existing chairs for chivaris.
Now regardless of budget, linens to the floor and at least a basic chair cover to finish the look seems to be the norm. What is becoming increasingly more common is the decision to use linens and décor as a way to completely change the look and feel of a wedding.
They can used to enhance a set colour scheme and bring to the table the colours that perhaps nature does not provide many if any flowers for such as chocolate brown or robin’s egg blue.
From full tablecloths and napkins, to satin chair wraps and tone on tone embroidered organza overlays, these additional elements that are available in a myriad of colours and textures are simple but wonderful ways to add that added dimension to a wedding day.
A Simple Way To Up The “WOW” Factor
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009The “WOW” factor of a wedding is that sometimes element that seems illusive.
It appears possible only for the weddings with the unlimited budgets that allow for flower arrangements that attempt to reach the tops of the ceilings in a banquet hall and are so full that they seem unattainable by most planning a wedding.
Yet if you look at all of flowers in these weddings they all contain a crucial ingredient that without it would take away that wonderful element of intimacy and warmth.
It is the simple candle and it comes in many forms.
- Votives
- Floating
- Pillared
- Novetly
They are made in an endless array of colours, sizes and shapes.
When combined thoughtfully into clusters or scattered naturally throughout an open space. Candlelight makes the simplest spaces come to life with shimmering glow.
