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!

Anna has style, and right off the bat I was excited to work on her wedding flowers.  Orchids, Orchids and more orchids played a huge part in creating the elegant and sophisticated atmosphere.  Her bouquet was a mix of soft pink and green cymbidium orchids, and the stems were wrapped with some ribbon from her gorgeous dress.

The Centrepieces were simple but stunning tall slender vases filled with green dendrobium orchids and curly willow with a submerged floralyte to add some extra ambiance once the lights were dimmed.  Each vase had a delicate organza gold ribbon tied around it to tie in the chair covers.

The head table was dressed with submerged orchids and floating candles to create a candlescape of varying heights, combined with plenty of votives all worked together to create that warm glow which looked really beautiful.   We rented out the vases for the head table to help keep costs down, while maximizing the impact.  Again, we tied in the gold ribbon to keep everything in the colour scheme uniform.

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.

Last weekend we did a wedding at Kultura restaurant, at King & Jarvis downtown, Toronto.  They had an intimate affair of 45 guests, and we transformed the second floor of this chic, modern venue using hot pink dendrobium orchids in the tall centrepieces and submerged throughout the candlescapes we created.  It’s a really cool spot for a small, non traditional wedding.  We also did the personal flowers, ceremony flowers, & pew decor.  Originally, this bride was to get married in Mexico, but with the whole swine flu outbreak, they decided to do the wedding in Toronto, but just bring in some tropical flair.  We brought the destination here, and everyone had a fantastic time!  It turned out really pretty and the bride was thrilled!  More pics will be posted soon!

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!

Decadent.  Delicious.  Delightful.  There are just no other words.  Truly beautiful work, and I had to share these with you…  All of these stunningly gorgeous pictures are from Nisies Enchanted Florist.

Here are a few pics of Christina & Igor’s wedding @ Atlantis… Shawn & Clint from Renaissance Studios sent over some gorgeous “teaser” shots… I’ll post more as I get them.  Christina is an absolute knockout, and I loved the feather piece and birdcage veil she was wearing.  She looked awesome!  Can’t wait to see the rest!

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!!!
