Sara & Marc’s Rustic Wedding at the Cove Lakeside Resort

Being an Okanagan destination wedding florist I often don’t get the opportunity to meet my clients in person before their wedding day, with details being planned over email & phone.  Sara & Marc were no exception – planning their wedding from out of country with quite a time change.  Luckily I had the privilege to plan the floral arrangements for this beautiful wedding with the help of Sara’s mother Susan – who really brought their wedding vision to life.  The result was a gorgeous Rustic Chic affair, held at The Cove Lakeside Resort in West Kelowna.    Sara & Marc wanted to have very soft & simple designs so we used babies breath in the bridesmaids bouquets, filled in our hobnail jars down the aisle, and as accents on the tables & in white wood painted boxes.    The brides bouquet was stunning, with the last of the seasons White Peonies,  Spray Roses, Lisianthus, Freesia, Hypericum Berries,  Hints of Babies Breath & Eucalyptus Greenery – I think it complemented Sara’s amazing dress perfectly.   Hints of fresh lavender purchased from the Okanagan Lavender Herb Farm were added throughout the reception room.  The centrepieces were simple mercury glass hurricane holders provided by the couple with groupings of water picked roses & babies breath around.  The highlight was the transformation of the Cove’s wooden arbor, which we covered in Curly Willow Branches & Hanging Amaranthus accented by a crystal chandelier –  providing a perfect backdrop for their nuptials.    The day was beautifully captured by the incredible Jessica Zais Photography.     Congratulations to Sara & Marc & thank you for letting us create these flowers for your day!

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.
