Year in Review 2025

2025 is coming to an end, and I’m grateful for a slower season this winter as well as the end of an amazing wedding season!

This year was a bit different for me, and it was really nice. It was paced differently, with small breaks peppered throughout my calendar. Next year looks like it’ll be a bit different, too, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves!

It’s kind of weird to write an annual recap, because to be completely honest, I don’t remember much of the year. I have a rather pathetic memory to begin with, but designing for different weddings every single weekend and then “on to the next!” makes it really difficult to be able to truly take anything in and make memories. But I think it was a good year 😂

How Much Do Wedding Flowers Cost? Warm Neutral Wedding Reception at Novella

It’s not all that frequent that I get to design the entire reception from start to finish, and I really enjoy digging into that complete process. For this warm, neutral wedding reception at Novella, I started with a brief overview of the colour palette and textural elements I wanted to highlight.

As I got going, I knew I wanted to share a glance at the real life costs behind a reception design like this. Many of my clients come to me asking for designs like this, but have no frame of reference for pricing. So, let’s jump into the design and then the cost!

Design Notes: Textural Wedding Ceremony Florals at Novella

Last spring, I designed an editorial for Vanessa Renae and a group of photographers who were itching to get creative, and practise some new photography techniques. Vanessa had found this gorgeous blue vintage dress, and then she asked me to take the reigns on the overall design. Needless to say, I had a lot of fun.

Warm browns paired with cool blues, layers of natural textures, minimalistic yet elevated stationery, a dreamy meandering aisle, multi-tonal drapery, it was all so good. A total dream day ✨

Today, I’m sharing some design notes focusing on the ceremony design, featuring textured florals and a natural style.

Elegant Fall Wedding with Fun Colour Palette

I’m continuing to catch up on sharing stories from last fall’s weddings, and today we’re looking at Tatiana and Kevin’s! They planned an elegant fall wedding, with a fun colour palette and some moody details.

One of my personal highlights from the day was setting up the ceremony arch. We were working in the garden, enjoying the flowers, and just peeking through the fence at the wedding party taking their photos. They were so happy, so chill, the bridesmaid dress selection was gorgeous, and it just looked like they were having the best day!

Modern, Sculptural Wedding at The Winnipeg Art Gallery

Happy anniversary to one of my very favourite weddings of all time! Jacqueline and Michael were married last October in a moody, modern wedding at the Winnipeg Art Gallery.

They wanted to create the atmosphere of really intimate dinner party, but with a full guest list of 130. Their style tends toward the modern and they weren’t afraid of using rich, deep reds and burgundies, so you know I had a ton of fun planning out at then executing the floral design.
