Best Wedding Bouquets of 2010 ... Part 2

First off ... Happy New Year!! Hard to believe that we're entering our 11th wedding season ... where does the time go?

If you're just joining us, last week we started our annual recap of some of our favourite wedding bouquets that came out of the studio in 2010. If you're a regular visitor, you might remember that each year around this time we dive into a 'Best Of' blog series ... a little something to keep you cozy through the winter, dreaming of all the weddingy goodness to come this spring!

Here are a few more love stories from our 'Best Wedding Bouquets of 2010 album ... enjoy!

Helen married Steven in November of this year. This was Helen's bridal bouquet ... we are so loving those amazing orchids and gorgeous garden roses!!! A perfect match to the detailing her in dazzling wedding dress ...

The oh-so-romantic shades of red, burgundy and cerise that comprise a palette we like to call Passion featured prominently in Helen + Steven's wedding day floral decor.

Heather + Colin were married at Vineland Estates Winery ... their colour palette featured mulled purple, champagne and silver ... just like our 'Breeze' palette. Heather's bridal bouquet was a perfect match for her knock-you-out amazing silver wedding dress ... don't you just love the dress! Brilliant.

... and the lovely little coordinating bridesmaids bouquet ... another perfect match!! Love it!!!

Janice + Mike's intimate outdoor Niagara wedding took place at the stately Grand Victorian mansion B&B along the gorgeous winding curves of the Niagara River Parkway. Janice's colour palette was plum with a touch of butter yellow, burgundy and ivory. Her bouquet in purple and yellow was absolutely gorgeous ... the giant Lady Slipper orchids were beyond amazing!!!

The bridesmaid's bouquets in yellow looked equally stunning against their dresses ...

Tara + Shawn's Niagara winery wedding at Vineland Estates Winery is a great example of what we love about late summer in Niagara! This closeup of the bride's bouquet gives you a good idea of the colour palette we were working with ... watermelon with warm tones of burgundy, blush, salmon and champagne!

Tara's bridal bouquet ... delicious!

The colour matched bridesmaid's bouquets ...

Part 3 coming soon!

Janice + Mike at The Grand Victorian in Niagara on the Lake

Janice + Mike's intimate outdoor Niagara wedding took place at the stately Grand Victorian mansion B&B along the gorgeous winding curves of the Niagara River Parkway.

The Grand Vic, as we like to call her, is a spectacular Victorian mansion featuring Queen Anne Revival influences and is set on an acre and a half of gardens, surrounded by the award winning vineyards of Reif Estate Winery. The outdoor wedding ceremony took place on the property's gardens just a stone's throw from the mansion, where Janice + Mike later hosted their guests to a cozy dinner reception on the wrap-around verandah.

The seclusion and intimacy of this exclusive property feels half a world away from the hustle of the 'traditional' wedding ... it really transforms your perspective on what a great wedding celebration should be!! 

Janice's colour palette was plum with a touch of butter yellow, burgundy and ivory. Her bouquet in purple and yellow was absolutely gorgeous ... the giant Lady Slipper orchids were beyond amazing!!!

The bridesmaid's bouquets in yellow looked equally stunning against their dresses ...

Janice + Mike's intimate wedding ceremony in the garden featured classic gold and white chiavari chairs, twin oversized altar florals set on Reif Estate wine barrels and our custom-made wrought iron Shepherd's Hooks gracing the aisle.

We absolutely adored the idea of designing a tablescape on the wrap-around verandah ... what a brilliant idea!! No need for a tent ... you have the completely jaw-dropping charm of Victorian mansion as your protection from the elements. Genius!!!
