Bryony & Jason’s LaStella Winery Wedding in Osoyoos

With the Okanagan being a popular destination wedding location the majority of my couples plan their wedding from a distance. Sometimes I never meet my couples until their wedding day when I’m delivering. Bryony & Jason planned their beautiful wedding from a distance & sadly I never had the pleasure of meeting these two, but by judging from the photos I can see that they are both full of love & happiness. They were married at the beautiful LaStella Winery in Osoyoos, BC – such a beautiful drive for delivery. When we arrived the dark clouds were hanging overhead, but I was so happy to hear that the rain stayed away for their entire day. I worked through the details with Bryony for a few months over phone & email and absolutely love how all the flowers turned out – especially LOVED the floral crowns for the adorable flower girls. Thank you to Tacey Photography for sharing these images with me – I’ve been a fan of Tacey’s for a while so was super excited to finally work together on a wedding.

Enjoy!

I love watching a bride walk down the aisle with her dad, and is usually the most emotional part of a wedding for me.

Look at this incredible view at LaStella Winery.

The flower girls are so cute I had to share a few more images!

The Bridal Party

The reception centerpieces, created with Mini Green Hydrangea, Standard Roses, Hypericum Berries & Seeded Eucalyptus. Arranged in a medium sized hobnail jar.

After the ceremony the large pieces were re-purposed in the room. I always suggest to create pieces that can be dual purpose!

The gorgeous cake by Sugar Sweet Cake Company. Love the coral coloured sugar peony & green hypericum berries.

Bridgette & Dana’s Cedar Creek Winery & Hotel Eldorado Wedding

Bridgette & Dana’s wedding was gorgeous from beginning to end, and it was an absolute pleasure to create the garden inspired floral details for their day. Bridgette had chosen a classic colour palette of pink, peach, blush & white which was carried out throughout the entire wedding from the bridesmaids dresses – to the stationary – to the linens in the reception. The floral arrangements I created consisted of Garden Roses, Dahlias, Spider Mums, Spray Roses, Lisianthus, Standard Roses, Queen Anne’s Lace, Wax Flower, Seeded Eucalyptus and Fern.

Thank you to Jon & Jenny of Adrian Photography for sharing these beautiful images of the floral details!

The stunning Bride Bridgette!

The bridesmaids bouquets were smaller versions of the brides bouquet.

The beautiful couple!

These LOVE mug arrangements were such a cute detail on the ceremony welcome table.

The view at Cedar Creek Winery is breathtaking and was accented with two large urn arrangements on top of the wine barrels. A smaller arrangement in a rustic watering can was placed in front of the signing table.

Single blush roses were wrapped with ribbon & the table numbers to create a unique seating chart. Love how it turned out, but took a fair amount of time to tie and pin each rose perfectly in line!

The looser garden-style centerpieces were arranged in our rustic ceramic vases. Two smaller arrangements hung from the curtains on either side of the head table.

Juliya & Darryl’s Wedding – Cedar Creek Winery & The Harvest Golf Course

From the moment I met Juliya in our first consultation I knew this was going to be in my top 10 weddings for the year. She had requested some pops of colour in her flowers and wanted to make them a little fun but still keep with an elegant theme. I paired a softer orange rose with coral roses, tons of white hydrangea, light pink peonies (my favorite!), and this years popular greenery – dusty millar. We had such a great team of wedding vendors working on this one – love how all of the details came together. Thank you to Jessica Zais Photography for providing me with these beautiful images to share with you all!

The centerpieces were arranged in our white ceramic planters – one of the many styles of containers we have available for weddings or events.

Vintage Teacup Inspired Wedding

Ash & Luc’s July Wedding was a vintage dream! Their ceremony was held at the beautiful Benvoulin Heritage Church in Kelowna, BC and their reception was held at The Hotel Eldorado. I loved creating the soft pastel flowers in shades of peach, cream & white with hints of grey greenery. The arrangements consisted of Garden Roses, Spray Roses, Hydrangea, Hypericum, Stellata Pods, Stocks, Queen Anne’s Lace and Dusty Millar greens and were arranged in assorted sized vintage milk glass vases. Vintage teacups from Vintage Origami’s collection were such a sweet addition to the décor.

Thank you so much to Barnett Photography for sharing these images from their day!

Spring Boathouse Wedding Styled Shoot

This boathouse styled shoot was lovely to be a part of and was beautifully captured by Janelle at Janelle Photography. It was the perfect start to my busy wedding season, in a beautiful palette of blush, pink, cream, peach & white. I used Blush Standard Roses, Peach Garden Roses, Pink Ranunculus, White Anemone’s, Cream Spray Roses & Dusty Millar Greens to create the beautiful soft bouquet, groom’s boutonniere & table centerpieces.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot which was recently featured here on the Pretty Blog!

Enjoy!
