Vera Wang For The Win

Now although I have a collection the size of the New York Times of wedding dresses, I am not usually one to blog about them. This however is an exception. Vera Wang always has the most amazing dresses but this year she blew me out of the water. I say it is time to update my "dream wedding book".

Pot or Vase?

It is a lovely, exciting alternative to use pots as vases. Here are just some of the pros to using a pot instead of a vase:

•  They provide such a variety of color and texture to break you away from plain clear glass. 
• They are usually cheaper than vases.
• Once the flowers have lived their life, the pot can then be a permanent fixture in the house accompanied by a plant.
• The water will never look murky because they aren't see-through. (although you should still change the water of your flowers every couple of days to ensure they live their longest)

Let's spice things up and take advantage of all the lovely little pots out there.

Have To Love Wedding Photographers!

They get such beautiful pictures of our work. It is so nice to get a glimpse at the wedding that you have been planning and working on for so long and it wouldn't be possible without our photographer friends. This wedding was shot by Photos By Tray C and florals of course were done by me and the rest of the floral crew at Sweetpea's. Gotta love a bride who goes for a super unique colour palette of Navy, Orange and Chartreuse. Turned out wonderfully!

Dear, Lilac & Peonies...

...I am so glad you are friends! You come into season at the exact same time, look stunning together (always) and combined are so fragrant it makes my heart skip a beat. Long live these couple of weeks where I get to enjoy their presence, use them in almost everything and utilize how cost effective they are.  So, here is to my favorite few weeks of the year!

Hello Weddings!

First big wedding this year and lucky little me got to make the bridal bouquet! How can you make something ugly when you have some of the nicest flowers to work with? Peonies with Dusty Miller and Brunia made for a stunning combination. I am so happy the season is here. In case you didn't know... weddings are my favorite thing in the world (besides my little furry friends... and perhaps my boyfriend).  This lovely bride found our store through Jaiden's Petals because they were booked for the weekend. I strongly recomend you check out her amazing blog she does some stunning work. It is so nice to have a little floral network in this lovely big old city.
