Sunset Inspired Boho Wedding Inspiration at Manitoba Club
A sunset inspired palette, boho Australian vibes, and one of my favourite downtown Winnipeg wedding venues? Sign me up.
When Shaelynn from Manitoba Club approached me with the request to design the florals for this shoot, I was on board. It was a busy summer and this didn’t come at the best time in my calendar, but I couldn’t say no. The Club had the goal of promoting their outdoor space, the Bonnycastle Gardens, and needed to create some beautiful imagery to show it off.
Even better? I pretty much had free reign over whatever I wanted to do! We were really inspired by the Australian wedding trends and wanted to tap into that boho vibe.
This bridal bouquet was a really fun one for me. It was a different palette, featuring those sunset tones with the faded caramel, touches of rusty orange, mauve, and a bit of coral to liven it up. I really let the flowers dictate the shape, and just kind of let them go and do whatever they wanted to do.
Bridal Bouquet Ingredients:
locally grown zinnias, lisianthus, amaranthus, and cosmos with imported garden roses, standard roses, lunaria, gardenia foliage and acacia foliage.
Ceremony space! This was actually plan B, and I’m so glad that plan A didn’t work out. I pulled in my gold metal stands and pretty much just moved the flowers up and down to create an interesting shape for the eye to follow.
We grounded the space with this beautiful blue rug - it wasn’t planned for, but it couldn’t have been more perfect!
And moving over to the reception! Obviously the Garden is a smaller space, but for a dinner for about 50 people or so, I think you could have a really incredible intimate evening. With bistro lights strung from one side to the other and the brick patio, and then on the other side of the fence is the Upper Fort Garry park, it’s a really beautiful setting!
The tablescape came together really beautifully. Shaelynn had selected this incredible rusty orange satin linen with the idea of laying it over with the lace, which tied in so well with the boho bridal gown. We planned to use the black chivaris from the beginning, so I brought in these black vases and paired them with my black metal candleholders and burnished copper votives.
The place settings were a last minute design that worked SO well. I’d suggested that we use some actual terracotta elements, and Maria from Little Dove Calligraphy hand-wrote the guest’s names on shards of a planter that Shaelynn had smashed up! On the shoot day, while I was working on the ceremony setting, Shaelynn was pacing up and down the table looking at a few different options for place settings, using different coloured napkins, different ways of folding the napkin to show off the menu, different placements for the terracotta name card. I LOVE the way the blue napkin offers a soft contrast to the orange linen and pick up on the cool tone of the acacia foliage. Other excellent touches are the amber glasses and the white/gold flatware.
Look at that bouquet 😍😍
I love the idea of setting up a special lounge seating area for your guests! Even better when all of the rental items can come from the same place 😅Trend Decor is a newer company in Winnipeg and they’re providing a totally different line of rental options from everyone else and it’s really refreshing! A bit more modern, great textures, varied options for furniture - you’re going to want to check out their inventory! I’ve personally got my eye on their green velvet chairs for my cousin’s sweetheart table later this summer!
