Winter Wedding At The Old Mill

I love winter weddings, and Nina & Igor’s wedding at The Old Mill this past November did not disappoint.  Nina’s classic bouquet consisted of  ivory calla lillies, and Igor’s boutonniere was made up of 2 mini calla lillies, with a thin gold wire detail.   The bridesmaid’s bouquets consisted of ivory vendella roses, freesia and seeded eucalyptus.  All of the bouquets had a custom pearl brooch that we applied to the champagne satin ribbon wrapped stems.   Every detail from the pew decor to the ceremony pieces were reused at the reception.  We even did their guest favors which were lucky bamboo in a square vase.  Nina & Igor are also extremely talented photographers.  You can read Nina & Igor’s lovely testimonial here.  Congratulations to the both of you, and I am so extremely honored to have been a part of this absolutely perfect day!

Centrepiece Inspiration

I think most brides really struggle with choosing centrepieces as they are usually the biggest chunk of the budget depending on number of tables, but also in deciding to go with low or tall centrepieces?  I love mixing tables with both low and tall arrangements as it creates dimension in the room, and makes everyone happy by not having to settle if you truly can’t decide.  I’m going to share a few centrepieces that we have done in the past to spark some creativity, and hopefully help you out with making that all time tough decision of which centrepiece idea to choose.

Popular Purple Colour Bouquets

Purple was hot in 2009, and it continues to be a fav for 2010 as well.  These bouquets have a shot of the hot colour infused with some lavender tones, pinks, whites & silver ribbon.

Bouquets of ‘09

Here are some inspiration pictures of bouquets from past weddings this year.  I’ve been meaning to post them forever…  They’re not in any particular order,  but it’s so nice to be able to see them all grouped together as they are definitely one of my favorite wedding details to create.  Unfortunately, too many were delivered to our lovely brides without snapping a picture!  Grrr… Sometimes getting professional ones take a bit longer to receive.  So as new ones come in, we’ll post them for sure.  We’re seeing  plenty of pink bouquets for this upcoming season, and lots of colour which I’m a huge fan of! What colours are you envisioning for your wedding bouquet?

Fav Weddings of ‘09 - part deux

Andrea and Noam were married at the picturesque Auberge du Pommier… An absolutely gorgeous venue, and I’m sure the food was just as spectacular as the views!  The details were simple and just right for the space.  I love the freshness of the green and white and the intense black accents.  The creative shots were taken by Fast Focus Productions.
