Holly and Sam's Berry Toned Wedding at Cielo's Garden
When Holly first inquired with me, I was so excited. Not only were she and Sam getting married at Cielo's Garden, but anytime a bride wants berry toned florals, I'm a happy gal! We decided to really go for it with the palette, tucking florals in everywhere along with tons of greenery. And also, Holly's dress. Can we please take a moment to acknowledge how gorgeous that sleek, simple dress is? I had to cram in a lot of photos into this post because of how beautiful they all are!

Holly's bridal bouquet was one I was looking forward to for months. Rarely do I get to work with a palette that is more "me," and that weekend I actually got to do two! (the other wedding was also coincidentally at Cielo's Garden! You can see it here!) Along with those rich berry pinks, we used some softer blush tones, deeper plums, and lavenders along with rich, dark foliage.
Bridal bouquet ingredients: garden roses and standard roses, locally grown zinnias, cosmos, sweet pea and scabiosa, along with white and navy anemones.
I talk about it all the time: you all know that I love working at Cielo's Garden! This little stone chapel in the woods is the perfect place for the dreamiest wedding ceremonies. Holly was open to my ideas and loved the idea of something hanging from the ceiling to create a one-of-a-kind altar for their vows to be said under. This asymmetrical design was something I've had in my mind for a while and was excited to bring it to life! I used a lot of greenery and then tucked in plenty of berry-toned blooms with touches of light pink to bring some depth.
You'll notice a picture of a bouquet set on a chair. Holly wanted to honour her mother, who passed away a few years ago. She asked me to design a bouquet just for her mom, who loved purple. I thought it was a beautiful gesture and the perfect reminder that when someone passes, it doesn't mean that they're not with us.
I love this picture of Sam. It's just a totally happy, best day of my life kind of goofiness.
For the reception, Holly fell in love with the idea of long greenery garlands spanning the length of the tables, like these ones, with florals tucked throughout for a pop of colour. We finished the design with plenty of candlelight thanks to assortment of different height pillar candles. The couple added in clear glass charger plates, mixed metal votive holders, personalized matchbox favours, and quirky stationery (including napkins printed with hilarious sayings).
