Kalie & Adam’s Coldstream Barn Wedding

Kalie & Adam’s beautiful barn wedding was held at the stunning outdoor wedding venue Silver Sage Stables in Coldstream, BC. From the gorgeous wheat fields surrounding the property to the stunning spacious barn, their wedding was truly beautiful from start to finish. Their day was beautifully captured by Kevin Trowbridge Photography. Their theme of Vintage Romance was accented with touches of gold, pastel colours, lace and stunning decor from Vintage Origami Weddings & Events. We designed and created the romantic & vintage inspired flowers in colours of peach, pink, cream, blush & lots of eucalyptus greenery. The centrepieces were each a bit different and designed in assorted milk glass vases. A favourite piece we created for their wedding was the 4th floral tier for the stunning 5 tier cake designed by Kakes by Kathie. Check out the swoon worthy ruffle fabric backdrop created by Yuriko of Vintage Origami. Congratulations Kalie & Adam, and thank you for letting us be a part of your beautiful 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!

Nautical Romance- Kelowna Styled Shoot

I love getting the chance to do something a little bit different from my usual soft pastel and pretty flowers for weddings – and when Nicole of Created Lovely Events & Weddings suggested a Nautical Theme I knew exactly what I was going to do. I love anything nautical – crisp white fabrics, linen, stripes (I probably have numerous blue and white striped shirts and dresses), anchors, cute white boat shoes for summer.. etc. I love how dressing with nautical inspiration instantly makes you feel classy and put together.

For the flowers I decided on a simple colour palette of different shades of red, with a hint of variegated monkey grass (greyish green & white striped greenery). I used a simple mix of Garden Roses, Standard Roses, Spray Roses & Tulips – I had also ordered Anemone’s and Ranunculus but unfortunately was not able to get them :(. The result was a classic & pretty take on the simple rose bouquet. I don’t think I will ever do just one variety of roses in a bridal bouquet again! The 3 different rose varieties added a bit of extra texture and interest in the arrangements.

Royce of Royce Sihlis Photography took these photos of our hard work. Stationary was created by Laura of Dandelion Willows, Cupcakes & Cake Pops by Anna at Sweet on You, Custom anchor cookies by Sarah of Sarah’s Sweets (just perfect), Makeup by the incredible Melissa Craven, Décor & Props from Yuriko at Vintage Origami, Dress provided by Shilo of Ashbury Boutique & the images were taken at the beautiful Lindon House. Here’s our take on the Classic Nautical theme for your inspiration! Enjoy!

Poplar Grove – Okanagan Winery Wedding

From the moment I met Jenn to discuss the floral arrangements for her Fall wedding at Poplar Grove Winery, I knew that it was going to be a gorgeous event. I was even more excited that I would be working alongside my dear friend Yuriko Larson owner of Vintage Origami – who stylized the entire wedding and provided all of the fabulous furniture pieces, props & décor. Thank you to Brooke & Michele from White Linen Photography for providing me with these gorgeous photos to share. I hope you enjoy this little bit of eye candy as much as I loved being a part of it.

My favorite part of every wedding is creating the bridal bouquet, and this one was to die for! Jenn’s vintage inspired bouquet consisted of Roses, Dahlias, Hypericum, Queen Anne’s Lace, Succulents, Scabiosa Pods & Seeded Eucalyptus.

The ceremony was on a grassy area just below Poplar Grove Winery, overlooking Lake Okanagan. The view was breathtaking! Such a perfect location for a ceremony.

Vintage Origami’s white doors marked the entrance to the aisle, and turquoise blue mason jars were filled with white hydrangea stems. So simple, yet so elegant.

Our rustic wooden boxes looked beautiful with large arrangements on top in pastel shades.

These pretty little arrangements in Vintage Origami’s milk glass were placed at the entrance to the aisle.

Jenn – the bride, and her stunning dress and bouquet.

The bridesmaids bouquet was just a pretty as the brides!

Arrangements in milk glass vases on the signing table, inside of the winery.

The long picnic tables had multiple little arrangements, created in teacups and creamers.

An example of a few of the many small arrangements on the picnic tables, each one was different. Look at that gorgeous garden rose!

Smaller centerpieces in milk glass vases, sat on top of the highboy’s inside the winery.

The large ceremony arrangements were brought inside the winery, to add more décor into the reception area.

Yuriko displayed the candy bar in her beautiful Apothecary Jars. I created a few smaller arrangements to put in-between the jars.

Close up of the small floral arrangements. Loved these ones created in pink depression glass creamers.

I had to include one of the happy couple. It’s photo’s like these that make me appreciate the beauty that we live in. Congratulations again to Jenn & Matt, I wish you and your little family all the happiness in the world. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

Happy New Year!

We just wanted to wish all of our clients, family and friends a happy and healthy New Year!

We had such a wonderful 2012 season at Classic Creations. We moved into our first studio downtown Kelowna, a shared space with Freestone Spirit Photography Gallery & Studio with Owner Mark Coffey. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the natural beauty of your wedding day, look no further! It has been so wonderful sharing the space with Mark, as I get to see all the beautiful images he captures on a daily basis (and he even captures some of OUR work when we are too busy to do it ourselves). The space has been awesome for Classic Creations as it has allowed us to work on many more events and weddings with the larger space.

Tess and Darcy’s Summerhill Pyramid Winery Wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty and was just filled with so many gorgeous details. Tess & Darcy had chosen such a wonderful team of Okanagan Vendors such as Vintage Origami, Cupcasions, Limelight Studios and of course Rachel Peters Photography (from PEI) who captured the day perfectly.

We were also a part of a gorgeous Winter Bridal Styled Shoot which was featured in The Perfect Wedding Magazine‘s Fall/Winter 2012-2013 Edition. Thanks to Suzanne at Eyes of Le Stage Photography for creating the theme behind the shoot, capturing the gorgeous frost and getting the shoot in the magazine! To see more images from this shoot, check out the album on our facebook page or click on the picture below.

We also got to be a part of a Midsummer’s Night Dream Engagement Shoot with Kevin & Katherine of Kevin Trowbridge Photography. We were so excited to be able to create the whimsical and over-the-top headpiece for the lovely Bride-to-be. The image below is one of our favorites from the session.

We had a LOT of beautiful & gorgeous weddings and events, but have to say that the most special one was Dan & Mandy’s Vancouver Wedding. I was so excited to be a part of this one, not only because Dan is my brother but also because they asked me to be a part of their bridal party. It was such an honour to be up there with them as they said “I Do” , and was such an incredible day.

We loved creating all of the pretty flowers for this past year, and we are really looking forward to what our 2013 season will bring.

First thing in our 2013 agenda – the 2nd Annual Okanagan Bridal Expo at Prospera Place on January 6th. Looking forward to meeting all of the lovely new bride’s-to-be! Please stop by to say hi, we’d love to meet you!

All the best in the New Year!
