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!

Celebrations of a Love & a Life

Today I've been involved in celebrations of a love & a life. First the love. Dayna & Paul are Fernie Locals who quite possibly picked the whitest day this year for their wedding! Dayna was a dream to work with. Originally we had planned on a bouquet made entirely of orange orchids. Unfortunately when the order came in on Friday the flowers were frozen solid, time for plan B! After a few phone calls and a quick drive to Cranbrook, I was able to secure purple orchids and some tulips and came up with this beaut! Congratulations Dayna & Paul!

Now for the celebration of a life.  This piece was made for the funeral service of a Fernie local.

Because of the need to change to Plan B with the wedding flowers I was left with wedding & funeral both to be done on sunday night. It was a late work day but luckily I got some help with the prepping of the funeral wreath. The wreath was first lined inside and outside with white carnations, next the middle was filled in with variegated pitt. Finally a burst of color and texture was added to the bottom (blue eryngium, orange mokaras, Orange lilies, red tulips, white roses, yellow mimosa, and variegated tropical greens).
