Spring Garden Party Wedding Inspiration

This glorious Spring weather has us excited for wedding season which is fast approaching. 

We thought we'd celebrate the blooming trees and beautiful sunshine with a look back at this Spring garden party editorial we worked on with Spread Love Events and Christie Graham Photography

Legacy, heritage, and a colourful take on tradition was the playful vision behind this wedding inspiration shoot set at Vancouver's beautiful Hycroft Manor.

Imagine your guests enjoying a garden party reception on the lawn complete with champagne cocktails and croquet. 

Your tables would be accented with gorgeous florals for pops of color, your bar adorned with a sweet garland and lush Spring arrangement where the always-popular peony takes center stage. 

And don't forget the iconic getaway car - any excuse for another garland, don't you think?

Be my Valentine

We always get excited designing new collections for our online store and Valentine's Day is no exception. 

Knowing that so many of our flowers will be sent to share message of love and friendship is one of the reasons we enjoy our work so much.

We believe flowers are nature's story tellers and we hope our 2015 Valentine's Collection will help you send a sweet note to the someone special in your life.  

The following images are a snapshot of the designs available for order. You can see the full collection and place an order via our online store.

This Valentine's you will also be able to find us in Yaletown at Sweet Bake Shop on February 13 and 14 where we'll be taking part in a gorgeous pop-up shop experience. More to come on that soon but in the meantime, take a look at #popupcupid on social media where we'll be sharing plenty of details.

She wore flowers in her hair

With our next flower crown workshop coming up on Sunday, we've been talking a lot about wearing flowers in our hair, of course!

So in preparations we're taking a stroll down memory lane sharing some of our favorite hair crowns and floral accents we've designed for weddings, engagements, maternity sessions, special occasions, and "just because". 

We love the variety of looks, from full-floral crowns and head bands, to light greenery halos and individually-wired blooms. With no two pieces the same, it is possible to customize hair flowers for every style and occasion. 

There is a couple of places remaining in Sunday's workshop where we'll be teaching you to make your own flower crown, as well as other fine detail work such as boutonnieres and corsages. Sign up here to join us.

Cable Knit Winter Inspiration

You may have seen this cozy Winter wedding inspiration pop up on a few of your favorite blogs, such as Style Me Pretty, Vale + Vine and Mountain Side Bride

Created by Best Day Ever Creative Events and captured by Christie Graham Photography, this editorial took place on a peaceful private residence in Pemberton, BC, and was filled with luxurious warm textures and an underlying cable knit theme that included sweaters, blankets, spools, a vintage Singer sewing table, and other knitting and sewing accessories. 

Muted tones of cream, grey, blush, navy and aquamarine were echoed in the palette of the natural, organic-styled florals which included a mix of Winter greens and delicate blooms such as magnolia, ranunculus, lisianthus, anemone, agapanthus and freesia. 

Enjoy the inspiration!

An Ode to Oscar

Seeing our work grace the pages of the exquisite Magnolia Rouge magazine is a wonderful way to start 2015!

We worked on this vibrant editorial with a team of creatives to bring the words of Oscar Wilde to life (see below)

A rich color palette combined with lush, cascading florals and garlands, an eclectic collection of decor and a naturally beautiful setting makes for wonderful wedding inspiration!

"And there is nothing left to do

But to kiss once again, and part, 

Nay, there is nothing we should rue

I have my beauty, - you your Art, 

Nay, do no start, 

One world was not enough for two

Like me and you."
