Colourful Fiesta-Inspired Wedding at Fort Gibraltar

When she first inquired with me, Natalia told me that she wanted to host a colourful, Mexican fiesta-inspired wedding. Obviously I was fully on board. When we sat down in person, she explained that she’s actually of El Salvadorian heritage, but her Pinterest searches for El Salvador weddings didn’t pull up many results 😂 We rolled with the Mexican theme though, and it was so cool to see how her El Salvadorian inspiration made its way through.

If you’re a lover of colour, this one is for you!

Intimate Wedding with Over the Top Florals

Karleigh and Matt’s intimate wedding with over the top florals was my first post-Covid wedding. Their Mother’s Day weekend wedding was originally going to be the largest wedding of my season (and career), and we had some truly remarkable things planned for them. But with a very large guest list, including a lot of family who wanted to travel in from Italy for the wedding, they knew they needed to postpone the big celebration to 2021. The couple still wanted to be wed in May 2020, so we went ahead — in a big way, with some serious flowers, on the front steps of his family’s home.

Romantic Rainy Wedding in Sandilands Forest

An amazing day. A stunning property. An emotional couple with the most supportive and connected friends surrounding them with love. I cannot tell you enough how truly wonderful it was to be a part of Georgia and Daniel’s romantic, rainy wedding in the Sandilands Forest.

The entire celebration was taking place at Georgia’s grandpa’s property deep in the woods — which meant no running water, no electricity, no cell service. It rained throughout their ceremony, which added extra stress. But you know what? No one batted their eye about it. Umbrellas went up and everyone carried on, which is what made this wedding SO magical.

Elegant, Rustic Wedding at Hawthorn Estates

Working with Sarah on the floral plans for her elegant, rustic wedding to Cam, at Hawthorn Estates, was a breeze. She came to me with a clear vision: romantic, simple elegance, and wanting the beauty of the venue to shine through.

Hawthorn Estates is a gorgeous venue, which makes it really easy for me to work at! One of my favourite luxurious fall weddings took place there, and with a deep red palette, it looked a lot different than Sarah and Cam’s, which is really cool. I always want each of my weddings to look and feel differently, even when they’re at the same venue.

Romantic Mauve Wedding Flowers at Pineridge Hollow

What started out as simple white and green evolved into a deeper, more feminine and romantic palette of monochromatic mauves — and I LOVED it. As Emelissa dove deeper into her wedding planning, her vision came together in a more detailed way. She was a highly organized bride and has great style — you just have to check out her wedding dress and bridal style to see that for yourself.

She decided on the dusty mauves after a site visit to Pineridge Hollow, reflecting on how white the tent is. This is something I think all couples should think about — the design of your space will be one of the most fundamental aspects of your overall event design so it’s important to consider how it will play into your floral choices!
