Floral 101 workshop

We had a full class, plenty of enthusiasm and blooms galore at our first Floral 101 - Introduction class on Sunday.

From mastering the spiral bouquet technique to creating their own vase arrangement, there was some serious talent in the room!

We started working with greens, what we consider the most important part of any bouquet or arrangement, and then moved on to working with blooms and colour as the afternoon progressed.

Our students had the opportunity to choose their own colour palette to work with, the creations from which you can see below. We think they did a fabulous job, don't you?

Thanks to Les Petites Bonheurs for providing the sweet treats and to When Love Happens photography for capturing the enjoyment.

There is still some space in our February 2 Terrarium and Air Plant Creations class and our Floral 101 - Advanced class on February 23 for any one looking to get more hands on and join our flowerschool. Email events@celsiafloral.com to reserve your place.

B.C beauty on show

When it comes to natural beauty, few wedding settings have taken our breath away quite like this one.

Danielle and Sam were married at a private property in the Woodlands of Deep Cove overlooking Indian Arm, the perfect way to showcase B.C to their family and friends, many of whom had travelled from Australia to be a part of the celebration.

Without a single bloom in sight, this wedding would have been a show stopper with its ocean views and perfectly groomed gardens, combined with the eye-for-style provided by Spread Love Events and of course, this adorably sweet couple.

So it was quite a treat to complement this stunning scene with our florals.

Drawing on the pair's Australia connections we used plenty of eucalyptus and gumnuts in the foliage and paired this with the softest color palette, so as to not take away from the natural surrounds.

From here I think we'll let the images by Sweet Heirloom do the talking. You can catch more of this wedding on Style Me Pretty where it is featured today.

Summer in the Mediterranean

Earlier this week we shared this couple's engagement session on our blog and something tells us you are going to love their wedding photos just as much.

Blush Wedding Photography had the most fortunate task of capturing Tanja and Michael's celebration at Cecil Green Park House which was inspired by a Summer night in the Mediterranean.

Wanting a soft, romantic and feminine colour palette we worked in lilac, peach and blush tones using seasonal blooms including scabiosa, dahlia, anemones, astilbe and lisianthus. The bouquets couldn't have worked more perfectly with the soft hues of the bridesmaid dresses.

And the bride and her gown.... stunning, right?!

A special touch at this wedding was the giving of a small boutonniere to each guest in attendance, a nod to Tanja's Serbian heritage.

Wildflower engagement session

Have you thought about incorporating flowers in to your engagement shoot?

When our bride Tanja asked us to create a wildflower-inspired oversize bouquet for her E-session with Blush Wedding Photography we knew it was going to make for some magic pictures.

And here they are!

We look forward to sharing pictures from this couple's gorgeous wedding soon, which was inspired by a Summer night in the Mediterranean. 

New Year Inspiration

Happy 2014 and welcome to a wonderful New Year!

To the newly-engaged brides-to-be, congratulations! What an exciting way to start the year!

We are celebrating 2014 with the news our New Year's bridal inspiration shoot with Smitten Events and Jamie Lauren Photography is featured on Wedding Chicks. This jewel-toned treat is filled with style, playfulness, and a healthy dose of glitter; the perfect ingredients for any party, don't you think?

We designed a floral garland for the tablescape, a large floral wreath for the ceremony, along with a bridal and bridesmaid bouquet, hair crown, boutonniere, and other accents such as those seen on the bar cart.

Here's a glimpse of some of the beauty. You can see the full post on Wedding Chicks along with the other talented vendors involved here. For the full photo gallery and loads more inspiration, click here.
