Bella Fiore Custom Floral Design's blog. Some of the things we've been up to weddings, musings, and thoughts.
I love fall weddings for the beautiful rich colours and textures I am able to bring into the pieces I create. In this bouquet I wanted to create a visually pleasing textural masterpiece :) I included rich chocolate brown feathers and topaz crystals. I think it is an absolutely stunning bouquet and perfect for the vineyard wedding it was created for!
For the wristlets, I wanted to create something a little more young, modern and edgy...a bolder statement.I again incorporated feathers and bronzed skeletal leaves. The girls "heart" these wristlets :)
Again, texture, texture for the boys boutonnieres.The groom is an avid fly fisherman so I incorporated tiny brown feather fishing flys into all the boys pieces. You can just see it at the bottom of this image. I did not stick myself once with those hooks.....this is a good thing!
Thank-you to Ruby Joon Studios for allowing me to use some of their images of the day and the bride and groom for giving me permission to use some of the floral shots.
Chartreuse and aubergine has been a very hot color pairing for my brides this summer. I love how the two colors look together! Check out the back of Stephanie's gown...tres sexy. I love this image by Brandon Patoc Photography.
The chartreuse orchids just make everything pop!
The sweet little flower girl tossed purple orchid florets from her basket.
Isn't this bridesmaid a stunner in her aubergine dress. I want to hire her for a photo shoot :)
Stephanie and Patrick said their vows at Laurel Point Inn. The fab photographer for all of these images is Brandon Patoc from Seattle.Many thanks to him for sharing his images with me.
The formals. Pretty darn tootin' good looking!
Check out the altar pieces with submerged green apples. Click on any image to enlarge.
A whole lot of smoochin' going on!
Patrick is one of the head chefs at the Laurel Point and planned the whole menu himself.
Yum!
More smooching. It is all as it should be :) Congratulations to Stephanie and Patrick! You both look fabulous...even while your lips are locked! xox
I apologize for not keeping up on my blogging recently. I have been a very busy girl with weddings and trying to shop for a new studio!
The bride's bouquet was a simple stunner with red calla lilies and roses. The red looked fabulous with the green leaf backdrop.
The groom's boutonniere to echo the bouquet. I love it.
The flower girls carried these custom purses.
The bridesmaids bouquets. Cream roses and freesia. The bride loved the smell of freesia. I do too!
The groomsmen. Simple and elegant.
Large pomanders in red and cream roses hung from shepherd hooks to frame the area.
The ceremony took place in the groom's parents backyard right on the ocean. A fabulous piece of property!
I can't wait to see the professional photos from this wedding. I know they will be just fabulous!
I recently did a wedding where the bride and groom were crazy for bird details. They had such wonderful details from programs,favors and birdcages that I am hoping the professional photographer was able to catch all these details. They were so fabulous!
Some of the boutonniere work.
A glimpse of the altar pieces I made bejeweled with hanging crystals, orchids and birds.
Here is a little glimpse of a bird detail seating plan. Forgive my photography. I am on a tight schedule!
Ever since this wedding I am crazy for bird details! I think they are just precious.Everywhere I go bird details call to me. I can't wait to find my new design studio so I can overhaul all the decor. .
I thought you might like a bit of inspiration for the myriad ways bird decor and details could be incorporated into your wedding. Isn't this cake the sweetest thing!
Little favors and favor boxes. Adorable!
Peonies in birds nests as centerpieces. Ah ha. I'm loving it!
Seating cards.
Ring bearer pillows.
Desert table anyone? Don't even get me started about desert tables! All these fabulous bird decor ideas are from Martha Stewart Weddings because seriously, what would we do without Martha?

Strolling.....
....into happily ever after.
"A bride carries her bouquet but it's me which carry the bride," thought the hot pink shoes as they sat in a box in the bride's closet.
"Aah,"said the shoes, "I look good in this lovely photograph by Jen Steele Photography."
"The bride is happy to be wearing me," thought the shoes as they witnessed this kiss.
"It was so fun to attend this beautiful wedding at the Laurel Point Inn."
"I look good with that bouquet."
"Absolutely!"
"Look at the lovely flowers. They match me so perfectly."
"The girls wish they had a pair of me....I just know it"
"The boys love me too."
"One day, I will wear hot pink shoes at my wedding," thought the little flower girl who had to be bribed to wear her flower girl dress but not to put on her hot pink pair of shoes. "Aaah,"thought the shoes, "my job is done, for I am the shoes, the shoes that started it all!"
