Zack and Stephanie's Big Beautiful Greek Wedding!

Huge congratulations to Zack and Stephanie who tied the knot on Sunday May 29, 2010 at Fed Hall in Waterloo (check them out at http://weddings.feds.ca).  After a few different colour choices, we narrowed it down to an elegant willow green and bright and sunny yellow.  It was such a gorgeous combination!  Here's a few photos of the reception, I'll post some of the bride and her flowers if I can get some from her photographer!  Enjoy!           

Kari & John's Wedding!

I thought I would share some beautiful photos from Kari and John's wedding on May 15, 2010 held at the Paris Fairgrounds.  We did all the floral design and decor, including a preview of our new custom card boxes (coming soon to our site!)  Special thanks to McG Photography for the images, check them out at http://www.pickmcg.com

 

Here's what the bride had to say: "The hall looked amazing!!!  Way beyond my expectations kim.  It was just wonderful.  You got a lot of compliments!  The flowers were so beautiful too!" 

Hall before...and AFTER!

Let's Catch Up....Our Birthday Weekend!

So it's been a little crazy lately, so I'm trying to catch up.  Let's start with AJ (my husband) and I's birthday weekend!

I had booked a wedding in Toronto, so we decided to make a weekend of it and also attend a fundraiser for a big night out!  The wedding went so smoothly, and I love the backdrop selection of eggplant with birch trees with green orchids, personalized runner on the cake table and the centrepieces which featured bamboo and the table numbers in both english and Chinese as well as the couple's monogram!

  After we finished setting up the wedding, we headed out with friends of ours to Windfall's Buy Design Spring Social http://buydesignforwindfall.ca/home.html It was a fun filled evening celebrating and in the style of the "Dirty 30's".  Here's the link to Windfall http://windfallbasics.com so you can see all the great things that this charity does, as well as the link to their WEDDING DRESS SALE!  http://weddingdressesforwindfall.com/NextSale.cfm

One of the best parts was all the loot in the AMAZING goodie bags!

Purple Bouquet

Purple is one of my most popular requests this year, ranging from a bright purple-pink to a rich eggplant.  For this wedding, we've created a mixed purple bouquets with a variety of purples to create a dynamic and colourful bouquet sure to stand out!  We've used blue bell roses, purple liatris, purple dendrobium orchids, eggplant calla lilies and 2 colours of mini carnations.  For the boutonniere, we've used a simple rose with 2 sprigs of liatris to add a pop of the bright purple.

New Business Cards!

Michelle from Captured Soul Photography snapped this AMAZING photo of my new card nestled in a manzanita tree centrepiece that I designed at a bridal show.  I just love it, just as I love my new card (logo and card were designed by Ryann at Carte Blanche Studio)
