We had the pleasure of being a part of one of the best events of the year….Bloor Street Entertains in support of Canfar. Prominent Yorkville stores open their doors to host private dinners followed by an after party…it is an amazing evening for an important cause. Thanks to everyone who was a part of [...]

The non-Christmas…Christmas.

Without getting into much detail, it hasn’t been a great year for me, my husband or my family on a personal level. Lots of challenges emotionally and spiritually. It has been exhausting, but we have come out the other end and we are still standing.

I started thinking about skipping Christmas, but how does [...]

Princess for a day.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of making the florals for a special Barbie event. 200 lucky little girls won the chance to spend the morning with Barbie at her “Princess Charm School” held at the beautiful Casa Loma (a castle of course!).

I was given only 2 instructions…fun [...]

Until we get our hands on all the beautiful professionals shots from this season’s weddings, I thought I’d share some of our own pictures of just a few of the bridal bouquets at various stages of them being a part of the day!

From exotic purple orchids and rich [...]

Over the last few weeks we have had the pleasure of making florals for some great events.

A vintage day in the country…Tong & Kamal.

This was without a doubt the most easy going and just plain pretty wedding we did all season. The bride was very crafty and hands on, the result was a meaningful and lovely wedding full of personal touches. It was the best definition of simple.

Hand-tied bouquets of purple dahlias, green [...]

Pink romance at the Field House…Allison & Mike

leesa — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 19:52:43 +0000

Talk about a laid back bride, Allison was so easy to work with from the get go. She travels a lot for work so we got everything nailed down in only 2 quick meetings together.

Easy going brides want an easy going day so soft pink roses in 3 sizes paired [...]

Karen & Joel…a room with a view.

On a beautiful summer day way up on the top floor of the Park Hyatt Regency Karen and Joel tied the knot in an intimate ceremony overlooking the city. Surrounded by close friends and family the decor was very simple, vases of calla lilies just like the bridal bouquet. With accents [...]

Erykah & Ricky…a little bit vintage.

Across many miles Erykah and I planned her wedding florals. After only 1 meeting together, her in Washington DC and I in Toronto we managed to pull off a beautifully decorated affair. Erykah had a very strong theme that was centered around performances which really set the tone for this wedding…Harlem Renaissance. [...]

Bessie & Billy…a little bit of sunshine!

leesa — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 16:20:18 +0000

Bessie has to be in the top 5 of the most laid back brides we have worked with. She was so calm and organized! Her vision was yellow with pinks and whites over a back drop of silver, golds and ivory. The girls wore dove grey and so carried bouquets of [...]
