I love colors, and I love rich jewel tones mixed with a couple light flowers…it’s an incredible contrast and makes a definite statement when carried by a bride.

Anyone care to identify my mystery flower?

Decor Style :: Floating Your Wedding Cake

J.Saramaga — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:06:05 +0000

Wedding cakes are often a piece of art – and I love looking for creative ways to display that art for all to enjoy at our weddings.

For H&B Parisian Garden wedding, full of lucious florals, we decided to float their wedding cake on a bed of orchids.

To do it, we made a bed of orchids, anchored glass over the orchids and placed the cake on top of the glass.

It really created a statement and was a beautiful show piece for all to enjoy that evening! How are you going to show off your wedding cake art?

Floral Style :: Parisian Garden Bouquet

I love that this bouquet was not too tight, and yet still very structured and had gorgeous textures all throughout. This white & ivory bouquet with a hint of blue was perfect for this Paris garden inspired wedding.

Angela & Michael :: Chocolate Comfort

J.Saramaga — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:49:10 +0000

This autumn wedding turned into a beautiful winter wedding – complete with big fluffy snowflakes falling throughout the day. It was an intimate wedding for 35 guests.

Their Sunday wedding day started with an afternoon photo session, after a ‘getting to see each other for the first time’ moment at the Union Bank Inn. Their photographer Kelsy Nielson whisked them through fields and urban Edmonton amongst the falling snowflakes.

The ceremony at the Union Bank Inn was set a glow by candles floating in tall vases of white orchid strands. The mantel of the fireplace was full of hydrangea florals and pillar candles.

This candlelight wedding ceremony was officiated by marriage commissioner Marcia Loder. As the ceremony concluded, guests proceeded to the Devonshire Room for a brief cocktail reception as the main reception room was converted.

The room became alive with deep chocolate brown linens, a shimmering ivory striped overlay provided by Elegant Touches and orchid lampshades created by Nuance Occasions and Flowers In The Park, that gave a feeling of comfort to this formal setting. The cake by Simply Elegant featured a chocolate face plate with the couples’ monogram.

Guests received a favor of herbal tea in the brides’ favorite selections with a tea strainer. Pink Polka Design created custom favor stickers for wrapping around the tea jars, as well as the rest of the stationery (seating chart, table numbers, menu cards).

The guests enjoyed the lounge jazz sounds of the Circle Quartet that turned dance band apres dinner. Our jazz singer was able to move throughout the room and get guests involved as back up singers for her too! It was such a fun end to a beautiful day!

Angela & Michael - I know you weren’t counting on the snow, but your pro photos are gorgeous! Your intimate ceremony allowed you to be surrounded by those who meant the most to you. It was a privilege to be a part of it all.

You can find more photos of their day at their Kelsy’s website :
