Jewel-toned treasure at North Arm Farm

Rich, vibrant colors combined with some of British Columbia's most spectacular scenery was the perfect back drop for this outdoor, Summer delight at North Arm Farm in Pemberton last year.

With the sun shining ever-so brightly, V + R said their vows under a floral-adorned birch arbor before sitting down for an outdoor dinner reception.

We used a combination of ranunculus, snap dragons, roses, garden roses, dahlia and carnations to achieve a balance between the rich, jewel-toned colors and stronger, more-vibrant tones. This was complemented by the use of eucalyptus and hanging amaranthus for greenery and texture.

Thoughtfully and beautifully planned and styled by Beau and Arrow Events and photographed by Robin O'Neill Photography, we hope you enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed reliving the florals.

Rustic romance

You know that moment when you look at a photo and it just has happiness and joy written all over it?That's how we felt when Kim and David emailed us these pictures from their Summer wedding. We had such a wonderful time getting to know this sweet couple during their engagement and loved hearing all of the little details that were going in to their day. When we saw the images from Sakura Photography, the one thing that struck us was how perfectly it captured both of their shining, genuine personalities. Kim and David were wanting a rustic and romantic vibe at their wedding with lots of natural elements and earthy tones. We used field-like flowers such as scabiosa, lavender and wax flower to achieve this, along with other blooms including ranunculus, chrysanthemums and roses. There was also a succulent included in Kim's bouquet that she was able to remove and re-plant to act as a long-lasting memory of their beautiful day.

A beautiful collective

A new collaboration is always an exciting experience for us, so when Spruce Vintage Rentals asked Celsia to provide florals for their Winter Look Book, we jumped! Designing in vessels from Spruce's own rental collection, including old metallic goblets and a trophy urn, we were asked to create a classic and elegant feel working with a predominantly neutral color palette.

We think you'll agree, the combination of Mikaela Ruth's photography, Anna Elizabeth Cakes' elegant dessert, Spruce's gorgeous and unique pieces combined with impeccable styling has resulted in a truly beautiful collection of images.

Here's a few of our favorites to share. You can view the entire look book and information about Spruce's rentals here.

Long live wedding season

With the Summer wedding season coming to an end, our inbox is beginning to fill with pictures from our 2013 brides... and we just love it! As not all florals require on-site set up, we don't always get to see the final picture of how everything comes together. It is for this reason we shriek a little in delight each time a new photo lands in our inbox. Not only does it give us the opportunity to relive our favorite time of year, it also means we can share more beautiful images with you, our dear readers.

So thank you to all of our brides who have shared their treasured memories with us. We are truly grateful! Keep  them coming!

Today we are sharing images from Andrea and David's wedding, captured by Andrea Ball Photography.

Andrea had an original color palette to work with, incorporating neutral tones and greens with pops of pink, peach and burnt orange.

Her bridal blooms included roses, spray rose, freesia, ranunculus and dahlia offset with white hypericum, seeded  eucalyptus and trailing vines. For the flower girls we made sweet crowns of eucalyptus and spray rose.

We just love how the bouquets work so perfectly with the different shades of bridesmaid dresses!

Old glam meets garden party

We always get excited when a bride comes to us for her wedding florals because she has seen our designs and loves our style. It is one of the best compliments we can receive. We love it even more when this relationship leads to being a part of a family's ongoing life celebrations through anniversaries, birthdays, births, and the weddings of friends and relatives.

This was the case for Jenny who came to us after we provided florals for her brother and sister-in-law's wedding. Needless to say, we were chuffed!

With a vision of vintage, Old-Hollywood glam meets British garden party, Jenny's florals were soft and romantic with a color spectrum of white and creams, blush, champagne and light pinks. We used dusty miller and eucalyptus for a soft greens palette with roses, spray roses, dahlia and ranunculus used as focus blooms alongside stock and hydrangea. The bouquets were clean and posy-like in style while the pedestal centerpieces embraced a more garden-link feel to echo the natural surrounds of the Stanley Park Tea House.

Thank you to Lyndsay of Well, Hello Photography for capturing the day and sharing these beautiful images with us. And a huge congratulations and thank you to the lovely Jenny and Brandon. We couldn't believe it when they took time out from their honeymoon to email us words of thanks for their flowers. We hope they don't mind us sharing.

"We had to take a quick moment to write you folks at Celsia to tell you how pleased we were with the flowers at our wedding! They were absolutely stunning, they took my breath away when I saw them! They were even more beautiful than I could have imagined and everything matched so perfectly!!"

The pleasure was most certainly all ours.
