Alison & Matt are super sweet and I was thrilled to have worked on their wedding flowers for them.  All of the lovely, quirky details made for such amazing pictures!  By the way, I am in L-O-V-E with the pictures which were taken by  Brooks Reynolds.  They’re awesome!!!  Here are a few of the lovely images that made their day look like the funnest wedding ever!  Congratulations again to you both!

I heart this picture!

HRM Photography couldn’t have captured this day any better for Ashley & Mike.  Even though it poured like mad, they were determined to get married outside, at the Kortright Centre (Which is breathtakingly beautiful for those of you looking for an outdoor venue for your ceremony.  I remember when we were setting up the flowers  attached to the chairs outside, we had to tip the chairs to remove the huge puddles of water that were sitting on them.  Everyone had their umbrellas ready and their wedding turned out great… and they got amazing pictures to remember it forever!

Ashley’s bouquet consisted of purple lisianthus, mini green hydrangea, white freesia and sweet little white daisies.  We finished it off with a few green monkey grass loops and a simple white satin ribbon.

I was doing some research for a lil’ project I’m working on (more details about that a bit later) and literally stumbled upon this…. Just thought I’d share… Would you personalize your invitations like this?  I think it’s super sweet and honestly makes me wish I was a guest attending this wedding!  What do you think?

It’s hard to believe that 1 year has already gone by since Rainflower Company has planted it’s roots!  Our Grand Opening Party was 1 Year ago, on Sept. 19th, 2008, and we did a fantastic wedding at One Up Restaurant Down Town Toronto on our 1 Year anniversary date!  Such pretty little details, which really is what Rainflower Company is all about… Special personal little touches that incorporate your style… that’s what sets your wedding apart from all the rest!  Well, we now have a new studio to be able to show you our creative little ideas.  It’s been a great first year, lots of hard work, sweat and tears but it’s all been worth it to create this little company that is growing  every day!  We’re busy painting, cleaning and prepping our sweet little pad, and as soon as she’s all shined up and ready to go, we’ll show you some pictures and of course,  crack open the bubbly.  Until then, here are some pictures we should have posted a long time ago, as well as the wedding we did  on 1 Year Anniversary date.  Cheers!

This is a picture of the centrepiece doubling up as the wedding favours as well.  Each little vintage bud vase has flowers in it and a special little thank you card attached that tied in the overall wedding theme.  At the end of the night each guest could take one of the bud vases and have a special memory of the couple’s big day.  A great way to stretch the budget and a nice little creative idea to try something a bit different than the traditional centrepieces.

In July we did a gorgeous wedding for Liz and Derrick at Miller Lash House.  The setting was absolutely picturesque as the wedding took place in the tent over looking the lush green gardens. We wanted to capture the miami chic vibe  and we did that through the floral elements of branches, crystals and orchids- (and lots of them.)  The cool crisp colour scheme consisted of  white, magenta and beachy turquoise which was absolutely stunning together.  It was a super hot day and I’m sure their guests had a super hot time!  You can read more about it on Style Me Pretty- Which we are absolutely thrilled and honoured to be a part of.  Here are some pictures from the fabulously talented HRM Photography.

I had to share these pics w/ you that I came across while reading the Fiore Fresco blog.  These beauties were taken from the super talented Mint and Sage, and the absolutely gorgeous flowers were done by Fiore Blossoms.  You can visit both websites for more images.  How picture perfect!  Just stopped drooling now…  Happy Friday everyone!

Trying to come up with something really creative while not blowing your budget is tricky.  That’s why I love this idea of combining your guest favors and your centerpieces all into one.  I don’t think this idea has been given the attention it deserves.  Talk to us about your budget, we would love to source the perfect vase to bring this vision to life for you.  If you already know your wedding date, don’t hesitate to set up a consultation, we are booking up rather quickly.

Spring has sprung, especially when I think of Melissa & Nick’s wedding.  They are getting married at the end of the month, and have been absolutely wonderful to work with.  Melissa is so bubbly, and her personality shines through in her choice of using spring blooms such as yellow and purple tulips for the centerpieces.  Bouquets will be made of vibrant yellow calla lilies wrapped with snake grass loops for texture.  Melissa’s bouquet will be made with vendela roses and mini ivory calla lilies.  We’ll stud the rose heads with some bling of course, and wrap the handle ballet slipper style with some ivory organza ribbon.  We can’t forget Nick’s boutonniere which will be made with  2 mini calla lilies and wrapped with delicate gold wire loops and black ribbon.  Melissa and Nick are having a wishing tree as their guest book, and it will be done with curly willow, and draped in hanging crystals surrounded by little bud vases filled with purple and yellow tulips of course.  So fresh, and simple.  Here is their inspiration board to give you some visuals.  I love this one!!!

I am a huge fan of lighting, and finding the right light can make such a huge difference for your event.  Simple candlelight as well as uplighting a centerpiece whether done with a submersible floralyte, or using a lighted base makes for the perfect ambiance.  One of my favorite things to see  for head table decor is a candlescape.  Pillar candles at different heights for interest mixed with votives, and tealights can really make for a dramatic effect.  Mix a few different vases at varying heights of some roses, and fluffly flowers such as  hydrangea, peonies and/or mums and you have created a really beautiful head table.  Here are some pics of my favorite illuminated centerpieces and head tables.
