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.

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.

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.

Classic Ivory Rose Bouquet With A Twist | Floret.ca

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.

It’s always one of kind.

A bouquet made with only one in mind to carry on her most special of days.

For Vanita, this bouquet of orchids and callas was created to complement a stunning olive green saree with an intricate gold threading accent.

Lisa and David’s wedding this past weekend at the Boiler House reminded me all over again, how there’s always a way to add your own special twist to a venue and it’s never the same twice.

If you’ve never been there, The Boiler House has certain distinct features. The two story feature, with the upper lever overlooking the lower. The wooden cubbies that separate the lower dining hall from the bar, the bridge of sorts that offers the most interesting of vantage points for the head table.

A fresh contemporary feel was the choice of theme for Lisa and David. Floating candles aglow in square glass with crisp white orchids as the main feature.

The bridal bouquet hinted the arrival of spring with white tulips mixed amongst luxurious callas and green orchids.

The white orchids sheaths carried by the bridemaids transferred over into an inspiring tablescape once they were back at the reception.

I always feel privileged to hear of the many ways that the proposal takes place.  It may be words never really uttered, but that knowing from the beginning to something as formal and planned as a trip to a romantic destination.

These beautiful glass slippers dangling from Victoria’s bouquet were meant as reminder of a beautiful proposal at the most magical place on earth…Disney.  It was complete with a dinner at the Cinderella’s castle and a proposal on bended knee.
