Justine & Tim's Mountain Wedding

Justine & Tim: July 2015
Venue: Lizard Creek Lodge
Photo Credit: Kyle Hamilton Photography

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!

Snowy Day Desktop.

It's snowing and I'm pretty sure everyone in this town is up at the hill... kinda wish I was too. But I'm not, so I've been cleaning off my computer's desktop (almost as fun). I found a couple bouquets that I like and didn't blog... or at least I don't remember blogging them! So for a snowy day in February these are little reminders of summer and fall.

The first is from a wedding this past fall. I can't believe I never blogged about it- also I can't find any pictures of it finished (if any photographers have it- would love to share it!). After this picture was taken I finished it off with a few curly willow loops.


Cymbidium Orchids, Autumn Leaves, Flame mini callas, hyperium berries, gold mum

The second one was a wrap that went out from the store last fall. Just a fun mix of tulips, coxcomb, Leuco, pods & pitt.

Hope you are enjoying your day! (and doing something better than tidying your desktop!)

Beauty in the land of Blog: FRESH Photography

This morning I was doing one of my favorite things... wandering through the land of blogs (floral and photography blogs to be more specific). I love the creativity that is out there, and I especially love it when you find someone from your neck of the woods, doing amazing work! (I also love that I can excuse it as "research" for work!) Well today I stumbled across the FRESH Photography blog and kinda got real excited- so creative! I was pouring through it post by post and stumbled across a Fernie wedding she had done this summer- it was one of mine and one I was wishing I had better images of. Well here they are- LOvE & LoVE!!
