</div>
My beautiful cousin, Robin married Craig last October and I was so honored to be able to design the flowers for their special day. Robin is an Edmonton- based wedding photographer (view her work <a href="http://www.robinradke.com/" target="_blank">here</a>), so she has seen her fair share of weddings! I love that she chose jewel tones for her fall affair, the deep colours are a welcome departure from the more popular soft tones. <br />

Petal's lovely manager Sarah, executed them so beautifully (as my sweet
babe was only two weeks old at this wedding!)<br />

Now that we've got the summer wedding season coming up we have taken note of some of the Wedding Trends of 2016.<br />
<br />
<b>Dramatic Ceremony Florals </b><br />
This year has come with many requests for high impact floral arches, flower walls and statement arrangements at the ceremony. Brides have been choosing a more organic style, lush greenery with lots of texture.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Choosing In-season & Local </b><br />
Brides are drawn to natural and organically inspired floral arrangements this year. We have had many requests for in-season and local flowers, most of our ladies are looking for that "farm to table" style and we LOVE it. Most of our flowers are shipped from the coast and we try to source as many BC grown blooms as possible. As far as locally sourced flowers, we've been having a bit of trouble on that front, someone open up a flower farm already!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Family Style reception set-up</b><br />
We're talking long tables, that cozy shoulder to shoulder feel where you can mix and mingle with your guests and have great conversations all night long. We love the idea of keeping things intimate when it comes to your reception decor, try low compact centerpieces or greenery garlands and top that off with some warm lighting once the sun goes down.<br />

<b> </b><br />
<b>Goodbye Neutrals, hello Color</b><br />
Brides are in favor of vibrant color combinations this year. Choosing bursts of blue, yellow or deep purple and incorporating them into botanical floral designs. The past few years we have had a lot of blush, white, pastel blues and other muted tones whereas this year, brides are choosing to follow their color dreams and step outside the box!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJWfltfXKmyTCGb5Q3ctsuHaW_-lRVHimPKQVvEVHHRFb3PVqlo5HXl4mhf5bfFmzSEA_TIXyipyTkpnKyIYOwfLXSTIIY8CQWneaLVqM52pJEJnAoOX9n1PguKPqE4j66qdHq7muiXRY/s1600/Lindsay%2527s+Bouquet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJWfltfXKmyTCGb5Q3ctsuHaW_-lRVHimPKQVvEVHHRFb3PVqlo5HXl4mhf5bfFmzSEA_TIXyipyTkpnKyIYOwfLXSTIIY8CQWneaLVqM52pJEJnAoOX9n1PguKPqE4j66qdHq7muiXRY/s320/Lindsay%2527s+Bouquet.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Metallic Palettes</b><br />
It's all about glitz and glitter this year, more brides are choosing to go with brass,<b> </b>gold or silver accents throughout their event. Whether its a gold ribbon to accent their bouquets, metallic centerpiece vessels or adding a bit of shimmer to their invitations and menus, brides are on metallic this year. Don't be afraid to mix and match by adding a bit of gold here, a bit of pewter there or even some rose gold accents to your table settings. Metallic is on trend this year, there's no doubt about it.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Every year Pantone releases their "Color of the Year" and this year, for the first time they have chosen two instead of just one. For 2016 it is Rose Quartz and Serenity, shades of pale pink and baby blue.<br />
<br />
Pantone makes this an annual event that is closely followed by the design and fashion industry, home decor, and our beloved wedding industry. Pantone wanted to bring back pastels and we are not complaining, you've got to love pastels if you're a florist!<br />
<br />
How does this relate to your 2016 wedding you ask? Rose Quartz & Serenity are a great pairing to warm up your chosen wedding colors and they look beautiful together in bouquets, centerpieces and any other floral elements. We have already seen more use of light blues in wedding bouquets and throughout the wedding theme of some of our brides. Most have used them as an accent color to soft yellow, lavender and white.<br />
<br />
We are loving the addition of the Rose Quartz to last years Pantone color Marsala as well as tones of navy, gold and white. It is the perfect hue to add a feminine touch or to give your color scheme a bit of romance. The Serenity can be paired with lavender, peach, ivory and silver, adding that cool tone but still keeping with a pastel color palette for the bride that leans towards a softer look. <br />
<br />
Rose Quartz and Serenity can be transitioned throughout your wedding adding pastel emphasis to your table settings, signage and other design aspects of your day. We have been seeing the Rose Quartz as a choice for bridesmaid dresses as well as the ribbon handles of some of our 2016 brides. And that serenity blue is really making a come-back.<br />
<br />
Here is a little inspiration, enjoy!<br />

<br />
Lately on my dog walks I have caught myself closely inspecting all the different types of greenery, wild weeds, and blooming Lilacs lining the well beaten paths of Fernie. I have become completely enamored by the lush greenery sprawling throughout our beautiful valley, and yesterday I decided it was time to bring the outdoors in!<br />
<br />
With my coffee & baileys in hand and the pup in tow I headed out into the forest to forage a bit of that sought after greenery that I have been longing to have in my home.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP7JSRDRS3LuLyEfeP82yhjL3n3IbmGKkRtuXPuEayL_tyUexbr9JKOibtKgxEno0PHO8CDeF53dDJMyLTwuCrF1ZiDT9Ci59s1Gq41_etGxBofYxaqq7axz8rfp-LirYdyM9y4R4iJ2E/s1600/DSCF1673.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP7JSRDRS3LuLyEfeP82yhjL3n3IbmGKkRtuXPuEayL_tyUexbr9JKOibtKgxEno0PHO8CDeF53dDJMyLTwuCrF1ZiDT9Ci59s1Gq41_etGxBofYxaqq7axz8rfp-LirYdyM9y4R4iJ2E/s320/DSCF1673.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Now there are a few ground rules when it comes to foraging; always ask your neighbors for permission and remember many parks don't even allow foraging. So don't just ride around town robbing your neighbors of their carefully nurtured blooms and try to stay away from public parks and paths where removing the natural landscape will be damaging.<br />
<br />
I was pleasantly surprised by the generosity of my neighbors,
letting me cut those gorgeous Lilacs that would become the focal point
of my arrangement. I've always had a deep appreciation for nature and I'm sure my
love for flower arranging started early on. As a little girl I was endlessly constructing daisy crowns, braiding grass and pulling up "weeds"
to give to my mother as a bouquet. Now, as an adult I am continually fascinated by Mother Natures abundant offerings. <br />
<br />
Once I had collected my "found flowers" and greenery I headed indoors
just as it started to rain and got to work on my table arrangement. The
weight of the Lilacs created that flowing organic look I'm drawn to, and
all the different types of greenery I collected added texture and helped
with the flow of the arrangement. <br />

It was a great evening to say the least, it is always a delight to be in nature and connect with the earth. I now challenge you to get out there and make something of your own, everything is blooming this time of year, especially those Lilacs.<br />
<br />
Remember, only pick what you will use and ALWAYS ask your neighbors for permission!<br />

Venue: Lizard Creek Lodge<br />

<br />
After quite a hiatus we are happy to be back with regular updates on our blog!<br />
<br />
To get things started we would like to introduce one of our lovely couples from last summer, Justine & Tim.<br />
<br />
These two were married in July 2015 and wanted their flowers to have a rustic and wild feel with a vibrant color contrast to the other elements in their color scheme. Justine decided on bright orange, yellow and greenery to accent the ocean blue shade of her bridesmaids dresses and table settings. We admired the way Justine wasn't afraid of color and had a blast creating something that she loved.<br />
<br />
It was a beautiful day for a wedding, Justine and Tim had chosen the Lizard Creek Lodge as their venue for a truly mountain inspired setting for their big day. We loved the stunning photos by photographer Kyle Hamilton, especially the shot showing off our much loved mountain range in the background. Justine was a dream to work with and we couldn't have been happier to be a part of their mountain nuptials.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Venue: Elk View Lodge Fernie, BC</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Often I see bride's trying to fit their wedding decor around a seasonal look. Here in Fernie, we really only have two months of the year that are summer-wedding friendly (and about five that are winter!) People often feel winter weddings should be soft whites and blues, and a fall affair should stay within the yellows, and oranges. But I love how this wedding proves those thoughts wrong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Even though she was saying "I do" in a winter wonderland, Sarah wanted her wedding to have a garden feel. She came to the consult prepared with a great inspiration book, and together we arrived at these lovely arrangements to include, Garden Roses, Ranunculus, Queen Annes Lace, hypericum berries, plenty of greenery and some nice dark red/purple branches to add some contrast for the bridesmaids. (I love this picture of Sarah- she just looks so excited and happy!)</span><br />

Libby's Easter Weekend Wedding<br />
<br />
<br />
Our 2013
Wedding Season Officially kicked off in February with a couple great
brides. Unfortunately I just got my camera fixed, so I wasn't able to
capture those. But here are a couple shots of Libby's bouquet. Libby had
her wedding up at the beautiful Island Lake Lodge here in Fernie. The
Lodge is only accessible by snow cat in the winter (see our <a href="http://thegreenpetal.blogspot.ca/2011/04/winter-wonderland-wedding-behind-scenes.html" target="_blank">behind the scene post</a>
from Laura's ILL wedding)so Libby wanted to stay away from actually
flowers and wanted to go with more hardy and woodsy elements.<br />
<br />

I absolutely loved how this wedding turned out. I love texture and this bouquet definitely delivers on texture! The earthy, woodsy look was finished off perfectly the handle of birch bark and rustic twine.<br />

My lovely roommate Jeni married Eric this past September. It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the base of Fernie Alpine Resort, where they both work & play.<br />
Jeni wanted purple and earthy, here is what we came up. A bouquet of freesia, lisianthis, hypericum, alstromeria, eryngium, lotus pods, surrounded by a collar of curly willow.<br />

Jeni had a piece of her family tartan which we used for the handle. I loved this, we usually use silk, lace, etc. but this just finished off the rustic mountain look so nicely, plus it was a nod to her heritage. </div>

<a href="http://mkuhnphoto.com/index2.php">Matt Kuhn</a> sent me a few shots from Tarah & Thomas' wedding July 2012. Thomas and Tarah are both active people who love to be outdoors and to spend time with the people they love. This intimate lakeside ceremony was so them and despite having to make some location changes due to flooding, it was a picture perfect scene.<br />

(this is going to be a long one)<br />
I arrived in Bangkok a day before Morgan, his brother Rob met me at the airport and we spent most of the day wandering around the markets. Obviously my favourite was the flower market. Streets lined with piles of flowers? Yes please!<br />

From what I could tell it seems that most of the flower sales are for funerals, or for people to put at the little altars they have at home. It was interesting to see their "techniques". The wreath above (and most others) are for the most part not put in oasis (though I saw people with stacks of it, so it must be used) rather they wrap little bags of water around each stem and shove them into either styrofoam or the wicker forms you can see in the background above.<br />

Wow it's been a while and I've been busy these past couple months (relaxing & working), with lots of pictures to show for it! I promised Thailand photos, and I will do a post on that, just waiting for the pics :) <br />
This past Saturday I was in the shop alone and was researching air plants- which I love! During my research I took a little rabbit trail and ended up finding this super cute succulent planters and decided to try my hand at them- they are so BC (especially Fernie!).<br />

They are so cute & yet wild, and maybe even manly...? They'd be perfect on a desk, coffee table, bathroom counter OR wedding centerpiece! And the best part is they are ridiculously low maintenance (did I mention manly?). Right now they are the stars of our shop window, but hopefully they will find loving homes soon!</div>

I was asked to create 4 medium sized and one "massive" Christmas arrangement. I decided I wanted them to coordinate but also be unique. I used a mercury glass hurricane for the four smaller and a larger colored hurricane vase for the massive. Here we go...<br />

I'm expecting the next couple of days to be busy, busy, busy! But I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I'm off to the land of sun and sand for a couple weeks at the beginning of January and then we will be an exhibitor at <a href="http://theweddingfair.ca/" style="color: magenta;">The Wedding Fair</a> in Calgary, AB on January 22nd. So if any of you Calgary Brides are interested in getting married in the Beautiful Town of Fernie come check us out, or even just stop by to say hi! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures at the show (and at the beach!). Merry Christmas & see you in the New Year!The Green Petalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541563584551188946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026808500034605192.post-11846446023975524172011-12-15T12:44:00.003-07:002011-12-15T12:46:49.973-07:00DIY: Design it yourself ~ with The Green Petal!Life in the shop has been crazy busy this past month as we are creeping up on Christmas and we had several DIY wreath & centerpiece decorating evenings- what a blast! Unfortunately my laptop has been out of order for the past couple months (hence no blog posts). So I finally I got smart and took a few pics on my iphone last night at the final DIY night of the year.<br />
<br />
I had such a great time meeting so many lovely ladies from Fernie and
giving them an opportunity to get creative!<br />
<br />
The evening started with me giving a quick demo and sharing a few "tricks of the trade".<br />

Great Job Christy!<br />
<br />
I love how different they all turned out- 9 women and no two were even similar! Great work ladies, thanks for coming- looking forward to seeing you at a spring course! Enjoy your works of art over the holidays!<br />

And all you can think is "um yeah, for halloween." . My favorite part of the movie 28 dresses is the last scene where she has all her friends wear their bridesmaid dresses to her wedding... sweet revenge : ) I've worn my share of bridesmaids dresses and I know my friends read this blog so I'm going to go ahead and say they all were super flattering and amazing ;) No, I have been pretty lucky, but some of my friends have some pretty amazing "dresses" hanging in there closet... waiting to be shortened. <br />

But I was pretty excited when I discovered this website today. <a href="http://www.newlymaid.com/c-1-little-black-dresses.aspx">NEWLY MAID SITE</a> You get to trade in your old bridesmaid dresses for credit towards a new dress that YOU get to pick and you WILL wear again! They then take your dress and either piece it to make new dresses or donate it to charity! Win- win- win situation (to quote the office). Anyways take a look and let me know what you think!<br />

Just to give you an idea how much this couple loved flowers, this first picture is the arrangement he had waiting for her when they arrived at ILL the day before their wedding.<br />
<br />
Scott and Dani made it clear from our first meeting how important the flowers were, and from what I hear from the wedding staff at Island Lake Lodge, there were flowers EVERWHERE!! So pretty. <br />

I had a lot of fun working on these bridesmaids bouquets, I was given a lot of freedom and decided to try something a little different . Starting with a soft base of white hydrangea and football mums, I added a few yellow cymbidium orchids and then wrapped it all up with the oncidium orchids. Although if left to their natural ways the oncidium would stick straight up, I liked the idea of them "growing" like a vine, winding its way through the bouquet. <br />

And of course I forgot to get a close up of all the centerpieces! Here they are as a group, waiting to be delivered. They were in 14' frosted glass vases and included: white hydrangea, yellow lilies, white football mums, yellow football mums, and green button mums.<br />

Fall is in the Valley and I'm afraid it just may be here to stay... the upside to that is the warmth of my laptop is a lot more appealing, and I'll be focusing on the blog again : ) I was just browsing through my pictures and I realized how many weddings I have to show you- lots! So lets get started, this wedding was not a big one, but it's definitely one of my favourites that I've done to date, it's a little bit o' sunshine. It has a lot of things I love in a bouquet: yellow, succulents, & LOTS of texture!</div>

Oh, hi! Remember me? Fall was even busier for wedding than the summer, so I've been trying to catch up and I now have quite a few blog entries taking shape... so you'll be hearing a bit more from me : )<br />
<br />
Today's wedding was a bright fall mix. I had a lot of fun mixing up the circus roses, mokara orchids, and a few others - so many textures going on- love, love! These first two pics are the brides cascade bouquet.<br />
<br />

I hope you are enjoying your fall! I got out on the bike trails yesterday and decided this is my favorite season to ride- call me crazy, but the air just smells fresher!<br />

I just got back from my first "real" vacation since I opened the shop. Three glorious days of climbing, camping, deep water soloing, & roller coasters! I have a busy week ahead of me with four weddings this weekend, but I wanted to take a minute to stop in and say hi as well as post a small wedding we did this past week!<br />
<br />
I love the challenge of taking a dozen roses and making them really unique. This bride was having a black and white wedding. She asked for a white bouquet and was open to black accents- the rest she left up to me! I leiu of greenery I used black satin ribbon loops and softened the whole look with black ostrich feathers. I hope she (and you) enjoyed the final look as much as I did!<br />

I could blame it on my recent move, and life being busy. But the truth is summer has finally arrived in our little town ( I know- August?!). And as crazy as it sounds the idea of sitting in a hot room with my Mac book's battery warming my legs is not as appealing when it is almost 30 degrees outside as it was in the cool winter/spring months (November- July here in Fernie).<br />
<br />
Now that my excuses have been made here are a couple arrangements that went to loving homes this week.<br />

I'm so excited to share them!!The Green Petalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541563584551188946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026808500034605192.post-91756663463181305932011-07-19T16:50:00.000-06:002011-07-19T16:50:57.928-06:00Warming up to PB...<div style="color: #a64d79; text-align: center;"><span class="body">Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower.</span> <br />

Now those of you who know me, know I have pretty strong feelings towards these... mostly negative. I love fresh cut flowers- there really is no replacing them in my eyes. They are living (sometimes even still growing), smell amazing and so varied. Each stem is just a bit different than the next, none of these cookie cutter stems you get with "permanent botanicals" ( I like to say that with a snobby voice). And no, fresh cut don't last forever and I think that is part of the beauty of them- or at least that accentuates and perhaps helps one appreciate their beauty. <br />
<br />
: ) All that to say... these past couple weeks I received two requests for PB arrangements, so I brought them in and I made them up today here we are... <br />
<br />
<br />
A woman had received an arrangement from us in memory of her husband, she really loved it and asked if I could recreate it in PB. The picture below is the PB version and you can see the picture of the original in there too!<br />

<br />
This second one is for a woman who really wanted something to put on an antique chair she bought for her porch. She brought in a card, with a painting of an arrangement on a chair that she really liked. I did my best to replicate it! <br />

I was pleasantly surprised with how they turned out. I know PB aren't THAT awful, and they definitely have there place. I'm slowly warming up to the PB... we will see : )<br />
<br />
I'll leave you with a couple fresh arrangements from this last week... since you had to listen to my ranting : )<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Amy decided to go with the classic cascade style bouquet. Her bridesmaid's dresses were a hot magenta with silver details. We brought those colors in with the pink gerberas and silver brunia berries. Amy's bouquet also included pink waxflower and cream roses with hot pink edges, finished off with italian ruscus and a few lily grass loops.</div><br />

Well this week was a very busy one with four weddings and two graduations. With the help of some great staff and friends (and my mom!), I made it through and I'm excited to share the wedding pictures. Barbara was a very hands on bride and helped to pick each flower included in her wedding as well as the lace for her handle (which I LOVED!)<br />
