Justine & Tim's Mountain Wedding

Justine & Tim: July 2015
Venue: Lizard Creek Lodge

After quite a hiatus we are happy to be back with regular updates on our blog!

To get things started we would like to introduce one of our lovely couples from last summer, Justine & Tim.

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.

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.

Stay tuned for more real weddings, photo shoots, wedding tips and more!

I like that quote, it definitely describes how I feel about working with flowers. At least once a week a client comments on what a fun job I have and how lucky I am. I have to agree-  I feel pretty blessed that I get to spend most of my time surrounded by such beautiful and cheery flowers. To top it all off I get to play with them and be creative! And flowers always bring joy, from birthdays and anniversaries, to thank-you and just-because. Even in sad events such as illness and funerals, flowers still bring a little bit of cheer.  Here is a bit of the joy & cheer going out from The Green Petal lately!
