It’s official! Favourite colour palette of the season. There is something so exquisite about purple, green, and white. This wedding had it in spades. What a beautiful day it was on so many levels. Beautiful sunny skies, beautiful flowers, beautiful venue and a beautiful bride and her dapper captain. Kelli is my friend and I guess that makes Duke my friend now to. I was thrilled to be able to create the florals for this wedding. The other thing that was thrilling was being able to work with Stephanie Rae Hull of Centric Photo. I have been watching her work for years and, yearning for the day we might meet up.

My pictures capture some of my favourite bits and pieces of the weddings I get to be a part of.Here is a sweet sequence of photos documenting the two of them seeing each other for the first time.

Now let’s talk details… Bouquets,

The ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse. It was a beautiful ceremony made even more spectacular by Duke’s kilt and his beautiful niece in her quilt as well. Kelli’s number one man Tucker, her sweet, sweet labradoodle walked her down the aisle and waiting paitently till they were finished.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A mediterranean wedding table and design was the order, and we turned to the fields and farms for this one. Using the deep rich colour of eggplant as our guide we piled high, grapes, plums, raddichio, figs and some scented jasmine among other things. Lot’s of earthy pots filled with herbs and greenery, as well as small hits of florals using roses, lisianthus, and yes babies breath. Gypsyphollia is used heavily over there, so we used it in mounds in an iron urn.

 

 

 

 

This wedding was a match made in heaven, in floral heaven for me and the Verbena team. There is no better way to say “summer wedding”, then with hydrangeas, and lots of them in shades of vibrant blue, white and green. Just look at these fantastic blooms….

Nicole and Drew were married under the summer sun washed sky of a quintessential British Columbia summer evening. Nights like these and there is no where else on earth more beautiful. Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse, was the perfect place for this fabulous wedding of two fabulous individuals.

Beautiful Nicole in her stunning gown surrounded by her beautiful bridesmaids in their floor length navy blue dresses, were quite simply perfection.

Nicole’s bouquet was a lush hand-tied filled with whites, greens and hints of blue. Her girls carried bountiful posies filled with hydrangeas in all the shades of blues, greens and whites.

This was a wedding of two very special people. Kathryn and Colin have a love story to stand the test of time and this day was a celebration of all that has been and all that is to come.

Nothing is more french then lavander so we used it everywhere, including on the steps of the gazebo where the couple stood to say their vows.

The tables were laid with antique sheet music and jars filled with a combination of ladies mantle, queen anne’s lace, scabiosa, freesia, craspedia, lavander and asters. They fit perfectly in the country garden setting.

The beautiful bridesmaids emerge from the house along with the bride in a lovely lace dress made by her future mother in law to be. The entire day was filled with a warm and inviting sense homemade love.

Nobody covers a wedding like Jenna and Tristan, these two are perfection and not only are their images perfection but as you can see Jenna can walk backwards for miles if it means capturing the perfect shot of the bride. I know that their images from this day will be spectacular, just like them!

Kathryn & Colin, I wish you many more music and love filled days together and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful day. Watching you two, watch each other today is one of the many reasons I do what I do.
