Sometimes I can’t help but feel that everything in life and in business always works out the way it’s supposed to.

When I met Judith and Adam, it was only one month until their wedding. There wasn’t any mishap with another vendor or any other drama to speak of, they were just getting to the flowers and I understood why.

It was going to be in their brother’s backyard. Tented, catered, simple but elegant.

A lovely garden wedding and that it was. Classic garden chairs, crisp white linens and amethyst and pale yellow flowers to complement the lilac napkins.

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.

Purple Rose Cabbage Wedding Bouquet | Floret.ca

I noticed that it’s been a while since I featured my bouquets.

One of the many really great things about working with flowers is that the possibilities of how they can be arranged, combined and presented is literally endless.

While this might be a scary thought for some, experience (and a lot of it) has taught me that it keeps things fresh and unique.

One such example is a super really fun bouquet that I had the chance to create for Emelyne, who choose me to be her florist all the way from San Francisco.

It all began with an inspiration picture that had of all things in it – purple cabbage!

Mauve and purples combined with texture of leaves and berries…can I say this was fun?

It’s been one of the most requested colours this season. Purple.

Always referred to as the colour associated with royalty, it’s a beautiful choice whether mixed with combination of its lighter mauve or lavendar counterpart or combined with other colours that are equally as dramatic as a rich purple can be.
