Elegant Garden Wedding at Cielo's Garden

I can't believe that Nicole and Chris' wedding was already 3 months ago! This gorgeous celebration was an elegant, garden-inspired wedding at Cielo's Garden, beautifully planned by Amanda of Amanda Douglas Events. I loved planning and designing the flowers for their wedding - we kept the designs lush, natural, and simple. Nothing was over the top or too much. All of the details were just right, and that allowed the couple to celebrate in a way that was really them!

Bridal bouquet ingredients: peonies (woah momma, these peonies were perfect!), locally grown tulips and ranunculus, rice flower, bleeding heart from my own garden, larkspur, and spray roses along with several varieties of eucalyptus and ivy. I looped the ivy in and around the bouquet and I just love the way that added some natural whimsy.

The ceremony decor was perfectly simple. Beautiful panels of voile fabric were draped like a curtain altar, and then we simply added in my wood box stands with pillar candles on a base of greenery. See what I mean? Simple, elegant, garden-inspired, and pretty much perfect!

The tabletop details at the reception were also simple and lovely. Long wood planters of white hydrangea and greenery took centre stage, and then we added in stem vases with light pink spray roses, rice flower, Queen Anne's Lace, and other fillers and greenery.

And finally, the cake! I don't normally add flowers or greenery to the cakes as most bakers prefer to do it themselves, but this wedding day had a bit of an emergency and I was more than happy to step in and do what I could! I really liked the way it turned out!
