Boho-chic inspired

Just when we thought our week could not possibly get any better, we find we've been featured on Style Me Pretty. Yes, we're pinching ourselves.

Le Soirees Weddings & Events and Vasia Weddings were the talented creatives behind this boho chic-inspired shoot which seamlessly combined the Old World charm of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver with an eclectic Bohemian style.

For the florals we incorporated a spectrum of color from soft yellow, white and peach through to stronger oranges, reds and burgundy and even pops of blue and fuschia. The array of blooms used was equally as broad, with garden roses, amaryllis, anemones and delphinium holding their own alongside more exotic inclusions such as leucadendron, protea, pin cushions and ginger.

When it all came together, the result was a luxurious, colorful dream with just the perfect dose of warm gypsy charm.

You can see the shoot in full, along with the team of talented vendors who helped create such beauty, at Style Me Pretty.

Nature meets revelry

When bespoke wedding and events collective All & Sundry approached us to collaborate on a styled shoot, it was an opportunity we couldn't resist. With a passion for all things natural, sustainable and ethically-sourced, All & Sundry have made a name for themselves in the wedding industry as cultivators of uniquely-designed celebrations.

Presented with a design brief requesting "simple elegance with a warm color palette", we were given plenty of room to flex our creative muscle and had a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding time doing so.

As is the case with all flowers used by Celsia Florist, all floral product for the shoot was either locally grown or sourced from fair-trade farms, providing us with a stunning array of blooms from hyacinth, lisianthus, peonies and roses to the star attraction - our hellebores which were purchased from a local nursery.

Thank you to Mikaela Ruth for photographing the scene so perfectly and to our talented fellow collaborators who made it all possible.

Simple elegance

Today we're bringing you floral inspiration from one of our recent weddings at Fairmont Waterfront."Simple and classic" was the vision Shelley and Phil came to us with, wanting to execute an elegant, natural look with a color palette of champagne, white and blush pink. We achieved the style with an array of seasonal blooms including peonies, lilac, roses, ranunculus, rice flower, hydrangea, and apricot blossoms. We'll get to the arrangements in a minute, but first we had to share with you a beautiful picture of the glowing bride captured by The Apartment Photography in VanDusen Gardens. Stunning!

A classic color pairing

There are few color combinations as timeless and classic as white and green.It has the ability to lend itself to any occasion, mood or style of design and best of all, it's a color palette you can use year-round when it comes to florals. Here's just a handful of examples of white and green arrangements we've designed at Celsia Florist across the Winter and Spring months.

The Great Gatsby experience

Today's the day! Finally, the release of Baz Luhrmann's much talked about screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous tale of America in the 1920s, The Great Gatsby. To celebrate the release we bring you the glamour, elegance and opulence of this era through a Roaring 20s-inspired editorial we worked on with Kailey Michelle Events for Bride.ca

Photographed beautifully by Matt Kennedy at Vancouver's iconic Teahouse at Stanley Park, this shoot was the epitome of luxury. From Bisou Bridal's exquisite Jenny Packham and Monique Lhullier gowns to the gorgeous garden roses and gold sequinned linen lining the table, the abundance and affluence synonymous with this bygone era was truly on show.

And we couldn't get enough of it. Every girl should have an opportunity to dine at a table with sequinned linens, right?

Enjoy the images and Happy Gatsby Friday!
