Gifts for Mom this Mother's Day

Spring is one of the most beautiful times of years for flowers and we so enjoy that it coincides with Mother's Day. Although we believe any day should be the perfect opportunity to shower the Mom in your life with love, it's always nice to have one day that's a little bit special. 

We have plenty of gift inspiration for you at Celsia, including bouquets, arrangements, planters, gift baskets and gift cards, all of which you can see at our online store

Or, if your Mom is a real flower lover, why not sign her up for one of our flower school classes scheduled in May or June? 

 We also have a range of gifts in store if you'd like to visit us in our cute brick and mortar location in Kitsilano. 

 If you can't decide which flowers to choose? Just ask for "Designer's Choice" and we'll make Mom something gorgeous with fresh, seasonal blooms straight from the market, like you see in the images below. 

You can see all of our designs, place your order or reserve a place in one of our workshops at our online store.

Elegant red wedding ideas

The bold lipstick in these stunning bridal portraits is the perfect blend of drama and elegance.

Paired with an over-sized bouquet and this delicate cap-sleeve gown by Jenny Packham, it's a little bit of magic we just had to share. 

You can see more bold ideas from this styled shoot on Pacific Weddings, and a full list of credits below.

Colourful, gallery-inspired wedding in the Okanagan

We love a bride who dares to be different!

When our great friend Kate, from the Vancouver Art Gallery, told us she wanted a colourful and modern wedding ceremony, followed by a crisp and classic white and green reception, we couldn't wait to get started.

Drawing inspiration from Kate's job as an event specialist at the art gallery, Spread Love Events suggested incorporating plinths and acrylic display boxes in to the ceremony decor, in to which we designed specimen-like florals which acted as altar arrangements. 

The plinths proved the perfect complement to the modern decor, including large cutouts of the bride and groom's initials, and a geometric blue and white rug which the couple stood on to say their vows overlooking the spectacular Lake Okanagan, an unbeatable view provided by Sparkling Hill Resort

A nod to the couple's Australian heritage, the bride's gown was by Australian designers Sass and Bide, and the style of it just happened to be called "The Gallery Dress". Meant to be?

Travelling to the Okanagan to complete wedding florals was an exciting first for Celsia. We are grateful to Kate and Graham for allowing us to be a part of their day. 

Thank you to Jarusha Brown for capturing the day so perfectly and sharing her images with us.

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?

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.
