Celebrating Spring With Vestige

March 20, 2016

In celebration of Spring, we teamed up with Etsuko Photography and Vestige for a special project showcasing the natural environment as this beautiful time of year.

Our designer, Eriko, chose Steveston Village as the location for this photoshoot where she is inspired by and feels connected to the surroundings.

"Vestige Story uses some beautiful fabric from Japan, where both Etsuko and I are from," Eriko explains. "Steveston also has a lot of influence from Japan. People immigrated to Canada around World War II and established a Japanese community there, including one of my relatives. Somehow, we all connected to this special place. This shoot felt like a reflection of my personal aesthetic, focussing on simplicity, nostalgia and natural spirit."

Romantic Hart House Wedding

August 12, 2015

The beautiful combination of ivory and blush with gold accents is such a soft and romantic color palette.

Featured on Style Me Pretty, this Hart House Wedding in Burnaby we worked on with Countdown Events and Blush Photography was a true delight.

From the lush, garden-inspired ceremony arbor on the lawn, to the little sprigs of olive at each place setting, there were so many sweet details.

We executed this floral vision with plenty of foliage including eucalyptus, olive and ruscus, along with blooms such as ranunculus, blushing brides, stock, lisianthus and plenty of varieties of roses.

The Art of Romance

July 23, 2015

As we're beautifully consumed by another Summer wedding season, we always find ourselves thinking back to some of our favorite designs from weddings past.

We had a ball creating this modern and geometric-inspired wedding with Petite Pearl Events; the color palette alone was a fun challenge. (Red, navy, sea-foam green, gold and silver was the inspiration!)

When the florals and the decor combined, it was a fresh combination that beautifully complemented the couple and their venue, the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Thanks for the great captures Tomasz !
