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.
