Talk about a blissful wedding full of love. In a gorgeous setting at Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse, Faraley and Ange got hitched, and recited the best vows we’ve ever heard. Love, love, love… These beauties were surrounded by family, friends and delicate-but-lively flowers (including the most gorgeous Icelandic poppies) in a gorgeous palette. The Best Men captured the day so so so beautifully-here is a peek.

We used all our most beautiful antique and vintage looking containers and created beautiful, garden link arrangements channelling our inner mentors, Ariella Chezar, Max Gill , Erin of Floret, Kate Holt of Flowerwild and Vanessa’s hero, McKenzie Powell from Seattle.

Ange and I just wanted to thank you and your team for being AWESOME. The flowers were amazing and all I heard all night was how gorgeous this wedding was and it was truly because of you. It was everything we could have hoped for, so THANK YOU! !

I hope any leftover flowers went to hospice and PLEASE let me know if the love ball is beyond repair and we will buy you a new one (I saw my bro with it and knew it was the end…).

A MILLION THANK YOUS!!!!

When I asked Shuna what her colour palette was she said, she didn’t really have one as she loved all colours, bright ones, cheerful ones, ones that harken spring. Her bouquet was just that, a riot of colours, in purples,oranges yellows and the main event the spectacular coral charm peony. Nothing pleases us more than being able to work with these beauty’ for the few short weeks they are available.

The mandate for the table centrepieces was more spring simplicity, we had wanted to use blooming branches, but with our long string of great weather we missed our window, so added some fresh fruit instead, grapes, apricots, and the first cherries of the season. Along with some foliage covered branches, small ferns, and lots of candles we made it work. What resulted was nothing short beautiful! What a treat to be able to design with other elements.

Shuna made a beautiful bride and it was pleasure working with her and her family on this lovely wedding

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe it is because the following weddings palette brings together the best of nature’s colours. Blue like the sky and the ocean, green like the trees and the grass and white like the clouds, whatever the reason this palette re-kindles my love for the spectacular hydrangeas. Frankie and Ryan’s wedding has done just that. What a beautiful day it was, not only was the weather perfect but the hydrangeas were in a word exquisite!

We used them everywhere from the bouquets and hair flowers, to the large arrangements for the church and the centrepieces. The bouquets were a beautiful combination classic whites and greens with Frankie’s bouquet incorporating more beautiful blues and purples

 

 

This couple was a breeze to work with, I loved Frankie’s style and quick descsion making, it made this wedding a pleasure to work on.

We used masses of blue, white and green hydrangeas along with hints of vibrant purple agapanthus, and veronica in two large arrangements that flanked the altar in the church. The ceremony was held in the lovely and quaint heritage church, Holy Trinity in North Saanich. This church sits right on the water overlooking the beautiful Patricia Bay.

Watching the bridal party and all of their family and friends gather in the yard of this lovely little church, was a picture right out of the english country side.

The reception got under way under the marquee out at the beautiful Sea Cider, guests were treated to a fantastic spread from Truffles Catering and all was documented by the brilliant photography of Helene Cyr.

 

Congratulations Frankie & Ryan, it was a fantastic expirience putting this wedding together with you, from start to finish!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahhhhh Sea Cider, the beautiful ciderhouse and farm out on the penninsula in Central Saanich. It is just so beautiful there, especially this time of year as all the apple trees are in bloom with lovely soft pale pink blooms. Ashley and Tim had a perfect day, and I was really so very thrilled with the final product today.

Lilacs were the jumping off point today, lilacs in brilliant white, and that beautiful vibrant purple. We have worked with the colour palette three times already this season, and it is simply because it so incredibly beautiful. Greens, whites, mauves and purples mixed with some soft grey. It really doesn’t get better then this!
