Caroline & Ben

Thanksgiving weekend brought beautiful crisp and sunny weather for Caroline & Ben's wedding. The ceremony was held in the Cave Springs Vineyard. The bride choose red (for obvious reasons) as the base colour for the fall themed flowers. Beyond a doubt, my favourite time of the year for flowers/foliage. In the autumn, flowers produce rich, deep colours and their petals give way to pods and vines load up with berries.

Local flowers were alliums, freesia, sedum, dahlias, ornamental khale, lilies, broom corn and my favourite for this time of year, bittersweet (which is almost local - actually from cottage country just north of Toronto.)

The complete wedding party flew in from Alberta to help celebrate the day. This wedding had the smallest (and best coordinating) bridesmaid of the season. What a fun wedding party this was.

This was the view of the skyline of Toronto from the vineyard on the afternoon of the ceremony.
The vineyard (located on the escarpment bench in Beamsville) produces the grapes for Cave Spring Cellars (www.cavespringcellars.com) in Jordan Village.

The reception was held in the Windows room at Inn On The Twenty in Jordan Village. True to its name, the Windows room has a full wall of floor to ceiling windows which look out over the lagoon and the twenty mile creek. Each season brings it's own unique flavour to the ravine.

Congratulations Caroline & Ben.
