Joanna and Kevin were married at the beautiful Chateau Des Charmes located in Niagara on the Lake.  Such an elegant and beautiful location deserved equally stunning floral arrangements.  To create an elegant classic look for their day we used a variety of blooms.  The pewter centerpiece dishes were topped with white and lavender hydrangea. The hydrangea was accented with large yellow carmela garden roses and lavender roses.  The result was a beautiful pastel palette with lush overflowing centerpieces. The gold chairs just complimented the decor and were provided by  Simply Beautiful Decor.

Congratulations Joanna and Kevin, many blessings in your future together!

When creating floral arrangements for an event or wedding we are often asked to create designs that compliment and also reflect the venue.  Lindsay and Neil wanted to reflect the blue wall at Southbrook.  Southbrook has an amazing wall that is part of the building design, so we created designs to reflect this.  To emulate the wall we used hues of burgundies. Plum calla lily, burgundy dahlia, dark pink protea.  We then accented everything with lavender-blue accents.

To further personalize the space, for Lindsay, we created white strands of orchids and vines to be her ceremony backdrop. The decor was fabulous, as it always is when working with Simply Beautiful Decor. Check out their blog for more ideas on how they can help you personalize your own wedding decor.  The food was amazing, catered  by the Epicurean, another of our favorite vendors to work with.

This is a busy week here at My Bouquet.  We have been featured in the, Wedding Bells magazine.  Wedding Bells has featured our floral designs in a wonderful six page spread showcasing a table scape and  two elegant fall bridal bouquets.    The elements used for our winter centerpiece were  amaryllas, anemone, white double freesia and green skimmia berries.  We also added the bark to add that rustic element for this centerpiece.

We are beyond excited that the Wedluxe, Canada’s  luxury wedding magazine has their summer/fall 2010 issue out.  For brides this is a key publication providing tons of inspiration as they plan their weddings.

This year in addition to having our ad that we share with Simply Beautiful Decor, our work has also been featured as a part of the magazine. You can see samples of our bouquets on pages 105 and 107!

The setting for Kiran and Kevin’s amazing wedding was the Legands Golf Course in Chippewa.  The couple commisioned a stunning canopy that we created from vibrant fushcia, light pinks and accented by pink pearl fabric. The fabric and decor was provided by   Simply Beautiful Decor.  The photography was done by our friend Elma at Photography By Elma, her amazing work truly captured the magic of their special day.

Rounding out the decor were the tables. The lush centerpieces were overflowing with fushcia, light pinks and when combined with the amazing black damask linens made the tables come to life.

Congratulations Kiran and Kevin, and thank you for letting us be a part of your beautiful wedding!

We just love the modern romantic feel that Tara and Joey’s wedding had at the Olympia Ballroom in Stoney Creek.  The decor, by Simply Beautiful Decor, included tall candelabras dripping with crystals.  The candelabras topped with the ivory and pink floral arrangements gave the entire room a feeling of classic elegance, that can only add to the magic of their special day.  To create a romantic feel that Tara and Joey saw we used a color palette of  ivory, soft pinks, light pinks, burgundies and using orchids and hanging amaranthus to give their arrangements a classic but modern look. 

Laura and Kevin were married at the beautiful Luina gardens this past weekend.  Their featured flower was Lime green mums, which happened to be Laura’s favorite and were used as much as possible throughout her wedding.
The talented Taylor Jackson photography was there to capture these amazing candid portraits of Laura and Kevin’s day.  Taylor managed to capture so many great details, including the linen decor provided by Gotcha covered and all the details were coordinated by the talented Angelique of Angelique with Angelique’s weddings and Events.  Their reception was held at the Balls Falls in Vineland and included so many tiny flower details, it was a truly spectacular event!

Congrats guys!

Rebecca and John’s wedding was simply stunning.  The combination of purple hues gave their wedding a rich romantic feeling.  Their wedding ceremony was held at the Pillar and Post inside the Upper Canada Room,where we created a trail of rose petals that complimented the gold chair’s from Simply Beautiful Decor.

Their flower selection included white peonies lavender spray roses, ivory hydrangea, deep purple lysinathus, deep purple calla, ivory calla, deep purple dahlia, purple hydrangea.  The combination of these flowers, in everything from their grand centerpieces down to the details on the chairs helped to create a stylish and romantic feeling to both the ceremony and reception.

The reception was held at Queens Landing, and with the help Simply Beautiful Decor and many staff from the Vintage Hotels, this was a truly amazing boutique wedding event. No detail was left to chance, from the selection of champagne lamour linens, plum shantung napkins to the amazing glass charger plates.

I was so excited that  Photography by Elma was also there to capture and document Rebecca and John’s romantic wedding and reception.

Best wishes to Rebbecca and John as they start their new life together.

The best part any wedding day is watching all the details come together.  The wedding of  Sarah-Jane and Adrian is no exception.  I had the pleasure of working with both Simply Beautiful Decor and Photography by Elma to create and capture the details of their day.  Their ceremony and reception were both held at the historic Queens Landing in Niagara, which is one of my favorite venues.

The bride and groom selected  ivory hydrangea, in season white peonies, and white parrot tulips, for their floral decor.  The creamy colors of the hydrangea, peonies and tulips provided an amazing background for the brown cosmos and green pods, which gave their summer wedding a  fresh, yet elegant decor.

As part of their decor they commissioned a stunning canopy which worked well with the brown chivari chairs and brown moss linens provided by Simply Beautiful Decor.

On May 30^th, we had the pleasure of designing a very classic elegant wedding for our couple at Queen’s Landing in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The inspiration was classic and fresh and the shade of mint and apple green and ivory tones complemented the Georgian Ballroom nicely.

Flowers used in the centerpieces were green antique and ivory hydrangea, white/green viburnum, from the garden, white peonies from the garden, vendela roses, white lisianthus, queen annes lace and green cymbidium orchids hand-tied in tall classic style vase. In complementing Simply Beautiful Decor’s fabric and diamond broaches, we adorned the centerpieces with strands of crystals.

The cake was four tiered, cream on cream and draped in fondant; with green cymbidium orchids. Vineyard Sweets did a stunning job on the cake!
