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.

Thelma & Louise

No, this arrangement did not kill a man, go on a crazy road trip or sleep with Brad Pitt. However, it was enjoyed by Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis at the 10 year anniversary of the film. What an exciting day! Hiding in this desert piece are Thistle, Hosta Leaves, Succulents, Air Plants and more!

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.

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.

LandscapeTablescape

Not quite sure who the florist is but isn't this tablescape something else? I adore the huge white antique vases filled with a mass of the same flower. The foliage (boxwood I think?) that nestles the vases just make you feel like you are almost having a picnic. The venue is also quite fabulous as well. All in all I was definitely inspired. You must also check out the rest of this wedding on Sloan Photographers it is very sweet.

National Post & Sweetpea's

I couldn't believe the good news I received today! Sweetpea's has been mentioned in the National Post. I know right?! We were all ecstatic when we heard. I am so happy to be a part of a company that is growing so quickly it feels amazing.

"The next display, by Sweetpea's, a florist on Roncesvalles Avenue, seemed to attract the most gawkers: their installation features a magnolia branch in bud peppered with dozens of peach-coloured origami swans."
