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.

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!!!

Denise and Jonathan

Denise and Jonathan got married on Saturday, July 5, 2008 at the beautiful

DiNardo Mansion in Aurora.

Denise carried a stunning bouquet of deep purple calla lillies.

Her bridesmaids carried a simple and modern bouquet of tall white calla lillies,

wrapped with white satin ribbon and pearl acents. Her maid of honour carried a mini

version of the bridal bouquet.

At the reception, Denise wanted to continue the calla lilly theme in the centrepieces and

decor. I submerged 3 white callas at different heights in tall glass vases for an elegant

and modern look.

Elegant arrangments of fresh white flowers in glass square vases were placed on the

headtable.




Congratulations Denise and John!

Celine and Kevin's wedding

Celine wanted a more modern and unique looking flowers for her bouquet. She wanted a combination of a crisp green and creams.
I used a combination of lime green spider mums, jade roses and cream roses, accented with white wax flowers. Her bouquet was wrapped with ivory satin ribbon and an overlay of lace that matched her wedding dress, accented with white pearl headed pins.





The groom's boutonniere was a simple and elegant white calla lilly. Celine wanted to incorporate an artistic element in his boutonniere so I used copper wire which I curled and wrapped around the stem of the calla.






The maid of honour bouquet was a mixture of cream roses and lime green spider mums, wrapped with satin chocolate brown ribbon and accented with light brown pearl headed pins.





The bridesmaids' bouquets were a smaller version of the bridal bouquet, and I wrapped them in chocolate brown ribbon with a lime green ribbon on top, accented with green pearl headed pins.








Congratulations Celine and Kevin!

Lisa and Orin's wedding

Lisa and Orin's wedding was on Saturday, June 21, 2008. I designed Lisa's bouquet, the bridesmaids' bouquets and boutonnieres for the groom and his ushers/groomsmen. I loved the colours she chose - a mix of different shades of purple with white accents.

For her bouquet, Lisa wanted a mixture of different shader of purple and lavender and she requested violet accents. I used 2 different shades of lavender roses with a couple of dark purple almost violet lisianthus. I wrapped her bouquet with a white satin ribbon with a thinner lilac ribbon twisted and accented with purple pearl head pins.

The bridesmaids carried a smaller bouquet of lilac and white roses. Cool water and Akito roses were the perfect combination.

The groom wore a single white rose boutonniere accented with delicate greenery. The groomsmen matched the bridesmaids by wearing a single lilac rose boutonniere accented with greenery.

Lisa and Orin, congratulations and all the best!
