Lisa & Dan



Lisa knows how to plan a wedding - simple/elegant/classy/natural/creative and the list goes on. Love that this year lace has made a comeback and yes so have gowns with straps. Elegant, vintage, romantic says it all. The celebration took place at Ball's Fall Conservation Area (http://www.hpca.ca/) . A historic venue with many of the original buildings dating back to the 1800's.



More brides are opting away from the standard handtied bouquets and wanting a design more unique to their wedding style. Lisa's bouquet was a structured cascade with feathers, seeded eucalyptus, berzillia berries, antique hydrangea and locally grown phalenopsis orchids. We loved how the orchids dictated the unconventional structure.


For Lisa's maid of honor we designed an inverted handheld orchid bouquet wrapped in lily grass.


The reception was held in the 'big barn' as it is called. The barn dates back to 1882. Through the barn you can see the chapel where the ceremony took place.

The harvest style tables were set with tablescapes of succulents, hydrangea, sedum, berzillia berries, orchids, stones, moss and curly willow. Nature at its' finest. And oh - lots of candlelight.








The belle of the ball was the lemonade table. Lisa filled juice bottles using her own lemonade recipe and tagged each one to indicate the guest's table setting. The bottles appeared to be growing in grass filled crates.



Thank you Lisa & Dan for allowing me to be a part of your wedding. You deserve all the happiness that one can have. Keep in touch.
