Joyce and Gurinder

I couldn't wait to get working on the flowers for Joyce and Gurinder's wedding and I wanted to make the ceremony location extra romantic.
Joyce came to me and asked me to create a low centrepiece using reds and yellows as her colours. She did not want any greenery in the centrepieces because she was concerned it would look too Christmasy (red being her predominant colour). And she did not want any roses in her centrepieces. I am a huge fan of roses, they are sturdy and last a long time, they are affordable plus they come in all colours year round. The challenge was to find an alternative red flower for the centrepieces so Joyce really liked red dahlias. Another flower she liked was the red mokkara orchids which complemented the dahlias pefectly. The accent colour was yellow and the cymbidium orchids were perfect.
The final result, a gorgeous and elegant arrangment of red orchids, red dahlias and yellow cymbidium orchids.

Rogers - New Blackberry launch media conference

Rogers had a media event to announce the launch of a new phone and for this event, they wanted very modern, sleek and chic floral arrangements.

It's amazing what you can do with 3 white callas, black river rocks, strands of lilly grass and clear glass rectangular vases.

Here is the final result:

Andreea and Brian


I was looking forward to this wedding for a long time especially because the bride is my best friend.

Andreea wanted a vintage, romantic and simple chic look for her wedding decor and flowers. She loves light and airy colours so the obvious choice was a mix of creams, light pinks and light greens.

Andreea carried a gorgeous bouquet of vendella roses, light pink and cream baby roses.


The bridesmaids bouquets were similar to Andreea's bouquet but on a smaller scale.

I decorated the headtable with a mix of taper candles in crystal holders, tealights and lush floral arrangements in low rectangular glass vases - mix of hydrangeas, green hypericum, vendella and pink roses. We also used the bridal bouquets and the bridesmaids' bouquets as part of the headtable decor

Melis and Rob

Melis wanted an elegant and classic look with a modern twist. I created a bouquet of white roses, green hypericum berries and for a modern twist, I added looped lillygrass and a collar of aspidestra leaves around the bouquets. To make Melis' bouquet unique, I added 3 green cymbidium orchids.

The bridesmaids' bouquets were a smaller version of the bridal bouquet.



The Maid of Honour's bouquet was a little different - I added hot pink roses.




The flower girl (oh so cute!) carried a small hand-tied bouquet of vendella roses, green hypericum berries and baby's breath.




Corsages - mother of the bride wore a beautiful pearl bracelet corsage with a single white rose surrounded by a halo of baby's breath. The aunts wore a pin corsage of spray roses and baby's breath.



Centrepieces - a beautiful sparkly silver pedestal bowl was filled with gorgeous white roses, white spray roses, lush greenery, green hypericum berries and looped lilly grass.






CONGRATULATIONS MELIS AND ROB!!!

Ashleigh and Jeff

Ashleigh and Jeff wanted very elegant and modern flowers. Ashleigh loves pink so she wanted a combination of pinks and cream. I created this elegant and mordern hand-tied bouquet of roses in 3 different shades: cream, light pink and hot pink.

For that modern touch, I added a couple of strands of beargrass looped on top of the bouquet.

Here are some pictures of the bridal bouquet, courtesy of Lorne Chesal http://passionateaboutpictures.com/








For her bridesmaids, Ashleigh wanted stargazer lillies with lots of greenery. Here are some pics of the bridesmaids' bouquets







For the super cute flowergirl, I created a mini version of the bridal bouquet and I added some baby's breath and pink wax flowers for a whimsical look.



I wanted to create an elegant and whimsical wrist corsage for the mothers of the of the bride and mother of the groom.
Here's a quick tip: when choosing a corsage colour if you do not know what colour dress the mothers will wear ont he day of the wedding, always choose a white or ivory corsage, that way it will match with everything.

The groomsmen wore a single hot pink rose boutonniere and the Groom wore a double rose boutonniere with cream roses and looped grass strands to match the bride's bouquet.




Asheligh and Jeff, I really enjoyed creating your bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages and I wish you all the happiness in the world.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
