Beth + Adam’s Niagara Winery Wedding
Beth + Adam were wed in an outdoor Niagara winery wedding on a breezy and cool September Sunday afternoon! After the ceremony, guests were invited to an evening dinner reception in the converted barn at Hernder Estate Winery in St. Catharines. The winery’s barn is a grand structure of stone, wood and glass and lends a very rustic feel to a wedding celebration in Niagara’s wine country
Beth's colour palette for the big day featured muted tones of soft purples, greens, blush, soft white and champagne ... a very modern vintage 'Anthropologie' type feel.
We design the florals using roses, hydrangeas (purple, annabelle and antique), dahlias, lisianthus and all kinds of gardeny bits such as sedum 'autumn joy', mint, herbs, lavender foliage. Other textural and off-the-beaten-path elements included succulents, cork bark, various wooden 'slices', canning jars and burlap runners (provided by the bride).
Beth's bridal bouquet wins the award for the most sentimental bouquet of 2011 ... the antique lace we wrapped the stem of her bouquet in was part of her mother's own wedding dress. As well, the gold heart locket wrapped around the stem was given to Beth by her father before he passed away earlier this year. Taking parts of the past into a new future ... it's heart warming! :)
Each of the full floral table centrepieces was designed in a different vintage or antique vessel and was surrounded by brightly lit votive candles in canning jars!
What You're Saying
We met with Jennifer early in the planning stages of our wedding. We knew that the flower arrangements were essentially the theme of our wedding and so they were a big undertaking. Jennifer listened to what we had dreamed for our wedding; key words like vintage, blush, opalescence and rustic, and she came up with a plan immediately. She knew exactly which flowers to use, what colors and what arrangements would have our dreams realized. We felt so at ease leaving it all to Jennifer. On our wedding day Mimosa did an incredible job and went out of their way setting up and making sure the décor was perfect. You could tell they have a passion for what they do and it is just as important to them that your wedding is perfect as it is to you! We can’t even begin to explain how beautiful everything was. It was a dream come true to see our vision realized. The florals made everything come to life, our dream wedding came true thanks to Mimosa.

We were so lucky to find Jennifer to create the most beautiful wedding florals. It was so much fun meeting her and see her enthusiasm for making our vision come true. She is so creative and is full of great ideas. The pictures on her blog speak for themselves.
