If I were only allowed to use one word to describe the floral vibes for this editorial shoot, it would be “JUICY.” Everything about this luscious lavender and peach design made me crave fruit and candy. It was just delicious!

I worked with Eventzy on this project as an editorial to be featured in the Wonderful Wedding Show magazine. It was such an honour to be asked by them; they really wanted to go for it and make a bit statement, and I was so thrilled to make it a success for them.

Bridal bouquet ingredients: Lavender stock, pink anthurium, peach Juliet garden rose, barista rose, coolwater rose, peach and orange ranunculus, lavender spray roses, raspberry scoop scabiosa, and purple phaelanopsis orchids.

The circular stage was the PERFECT altar. Eventzy had it custom made and I’m very into it!

I created this hanging piece (two thumbs up for venues with open rafters!) and encircled the stage with arrangements and smilax vine and I love the lush effect. The aisle was lined with plenty of candlelight.

And just WHAT A GREAT PALETTE. Sometimes we’ll choose to keep one section of the floral designs more or less subdued, or adjust the colour palette throughout the event, but for this one I wanted the colour to be EVERYWHERE.

Fun fact: I got trapped in the elevator during setup. It was a slightly terrifying start to the day but it ended up just fine 😂

Alright, let’s talk about this hanging piece over the dining table! This was a BIG SUCKER. Like 8x10 or something like that! To save on cost, we first covered the frame with faux greenery from House of Silk. Then Deanna and I went in and weaved through a ton of smilax vine — you can’t even see the faux greenery at all. We then strung up individual flowers, bloom by bloom. Again, we used a few stems of faux orchids which had a nice long line, and then added in plenty of roses. They brought the freshness and the scent we were looking for, and dang, the colour!

On the table, we went for mixed sizes of arrangements in cute clear glass vases from my rental inventory. Aren’t these pieces so cute! They pulled through all the colour, and played nicely against the copper flatware and pink water goblets.

We also did a second centrepiece style — the tree! House of Silk created a small tree base, which I then weaved through fresh vine. That made it a lot larger and gave that natural feeling, while having the faux base as a solid structure to work with.

We also added in a lot of lavender stock and lavender spray roses to bring in some colour. I chose to keep the floral palette in the tree monochromatic so that it didn’t feel overwhelming. And for large pieces like this, unless you have a very large budget, a monochromatic look will give you a more impressive visual statement.

I loved the brighter coloured candles at the base to add a little more vibrancy!

AND THE FRICKING CAKE. Jenna Rae Cakes nailed it, once again. The sugar orchids were absolutely incredible. I have a gluten allergy so I never get to eat cake (granted, this one was a faux cake) but the fondant was real and it smelled so delicious.

Wedding design tip: if your ceremony and reception are in the same space, I LOVE utilizing your ceremony floral feature as a way to display your cake. If you’re going to invest in a cake, then give it a serious moment to shine!
