M.I.A in Blogland

I know it's bad. It has been so long since my last post and I am ashamed. I always have a guilty conscience when I don't blog for long periods of time. Things have just been CRAZY. With some of the biggest obstacles I have ever faced in my life I just haven't felt inspired to blog. Enough with my rant though, I decided to treat you to an absolutely delightful little wedding we did recently. Burlap, Garden Roses, a soft palette and rustic venue... how can it get much better. I hope to have another second to breathe in order to catch up with you guys again soon. I miss ya!

Peony To Be

Finally posting pictures of a little wedding I did. It was just a small ceremony with a bridal bouquet and a boutonniere for the groom. Simple, easy and stunning with no stress. I am going to be mourning Peonies for a little while... at least until Dahlia's are fully in season.

The Wedding Details

I finally have the photos of the rest of the wedding. I thought I would share some of the photos of centerpieces, boutonnieres and standards that were not shown in my previous post of this wedding. Still loving how unique this wedding was with the bright orange, navy blue and chartreuse green.

Good Ol' Pal Dusty Miller

I LOVE you! You are so soft, delicate and add the perfect tone of grey to any palette especially pale pinks and peaches. I love it so much I have planted it by the bounty in every container on my balcony. It is like a cashmere sweater or as if someone made a web of cotton on a lovely shaped leaf. Truely divine! My only complaint is that it smells exactly how it's name sounds.. Dusty and swampy. Oh well, just mask it with a peony or two and your good to go.

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!

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.

Sweetpea's & Wedding Magazines

Just thought I should share with you some of the fabulous arrangements and boutonnieres that were done at Sweetpea's by my co-worker for a Weddingbells magazine photo shoot. The theme was "Preppy, Mod, Gossip Girl" and I must say Molly pulled it off flawlessly.
