Valerie and Jack Married!

Valerie and Jack got married on a very hot summers day at the Laurel Point Inn. Valerie's bouquet was a jewel toned delight of roses,freesia,gardenia,greens and berries.
Her dress had beautiful detailing.
I made these huge altars pieces of colourful roses,lily,delphinium, and various greens. They were so heavy, I could hardly lift them! Thank goodness my "Muscles" was helping me (aka my son)!!
The flower girl tossed jewel toned rose petals from a simple basket.
I also made this beautiful fresh flower hair clip for her out of deconstructed freesia petals, hydrangea florets and greens embellished with chartreuse fine wires and a little crystal.
Aaah, the boys made an entrance with those sunglasses! They had boutonnieres of rose,freesia and greens. Each corresponded with a bridesmaid bouquet.
Here come the girls in their stunning jewel toned dresses with complimentary bouquets of roses and freesia.


Close up detail.




The flowers in the thick of the action. I really did love that fresh flower hair clip!
It was a cocktail reception so I did a mix of high and low centerpieces.
One of the tall centerpieces through the window. Dark purple delphinium with a chartreuse hydrangea cuff.
I really love how this cake turned out. I love adding flowers to cakes. I even add flowers to our birthday cakes at home!
There is the happy couple! I would like to thank Jen Steele Photography for sharing some of her images of this special day. I would also like to thank Valerie and Jack for allowing me to be a part of their wedding celebrations and wish them a lifetime of love, joy and happiness!

A Whole Lot of Smooching! Stephanie and Patrick

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.

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

The Shoes that Started it All:Real Wedding

"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!"
Thank-you to Jen Steele Photography for sharing some of her images with us.
