Sara & Derek

The rain held off and the sun stayed behind the clouds making for perfect picture weather for Sara & Derek's wedding this past weekend at Inn On The Twenty (http://www.innonthetwenty.com/) in historic Jordan Village.

It's fun to observe sisters interacting on the wedding day.

Not only is the venue located in an old winery building (yes, Jordan Wines used to make Baby Duck here), but the owners(Cave Springs Cellars) preserved as much of the architectural detail as possible. The Windows room is surrounded with the original wooden beams and old stone walls. The exterior wall is floor to ceiling/wall to wall windows and looks out over the Twenty Mile creek. A picturesque view any time of the year for both the ceremony and reception. Sara highlighted her wine theme with seating charts with the guests' names painted on old windows which directed them to wine named tables.

Congratulations Sara & derek - we wish you all the best.

Maha & Greg

Maha & Greg were married in Niagara Falls at St George's Orthodox Serbian Church over the weekend. The on/off again rain drizzle during the day did nothing to diminish the excitment of the celebrations.

Purple & green continue to be a prominant colour scheme for the 2011 season. Locally grown spray roses, lisianthus, freesia, anenomes and imported trichilium and green hypericum berries made up the bride's bouquet. And who doesn't need that bit of bling for their wedding day.

The bridemaids' bouquets were freesia, hydrangea, roses and hypericum berries
.

Some might argue that flowers girls are the real stars of the day. How cute, with matching head wreaths and pomander balls. This little one was always ready for the camera.

The reception was held at the Fallsview Hilton in Niagara Falls (www.niagarafallshilton.com). The view from the reception room overlooking the casino provided that destination feel with the casino fountain and lights as the backdrop. And candlelight was everywhere with the hydrangea centerpieces.

Congratulations Maha & Greg - it was a pleasure working with you on your big day.

Aleksa & Paul

Aleksa & Paul were married this past weekend at Church of the Resurrection in Toronto with the reception following in the church hall. The green,white & black colour scheme created a fresh spring feeling down to every detail. The bride's bouquet was made up of locally grown lisianthus, freesia,spray roses, green hellebores and imported hypericum and peonies (just a few weeks shy of the local peonies)







The bridesmaids' carried handtied bouquets of white hydrangea, green hypericum and green lecadendron with mostera leaves creating a cascade design. This is a twist on the the tradition where the bride usually carries the cascade bouquet.

The 4' high centerpieces made an elegant statement in the reception venue. Curly willow towered up over hydrangea, hypericum berries and dendrobium orchids. And oh, the ceiling was high.

Aleksa overlooked no detail when it came to coordinating the colour scheme. Here the candy table created by Sweet Experiences (www.sweetexperiences.com,info@sweetexperiences.com), complete with doggy bags and candy descriptions was nothing short of picture perfect - well worth a magazine cover!
