Tara & Dave

Fall is here which means berries ,pods, branches, peppers and anyother interesting element that comes with the changing of the leaves. The brides colour choice of white with orange accents was a fresh early autumn theme reflected in her whimsical bridal bouquet which included locally grown rannunculas, dahlias, and freesia with orange bittersweet from northern Ontario. We incorporated the bride's grandmother's vintage hat pins throughout her bouquet in memory of her. Unfortunately hat pins are an accessory of the past, but what a touch of elegance they bring.
The bridesmaids' bouquets included lisianthus, hypericum berries, ornamental peppers, spray roses, dahlia, freesia and stellata pods.




I couldn't resist a close-up shot of the bittersweet and ornamental peppers. The vibrant oranges and contrasting textures gave the whimsical unexpected finishing touch to the white arrangements.











The reception was held at White Oaks Resort & Spa. (http://www.whiteoaksresort.com/). This venue is Ontario's only 4 diamond/5 star resort. The ballroom was filled with two styles of tall centerpieces incorporating hanging amaranthus in one style and the bride's favourite, hanging pearls on the other. Tall, lit branch arrangements and a whimsical 'just married' sign were the backdrop to the head table. Bryan Caporicci (www.bcapphoto.com) was the professional phographer for this wedding. One of the leading photographers in the Niagara Peninsula, Bryan is providing VFD with photos to be featured in the portfolio on the website.
