Julia and Geoffs’ Stylish Tent Wedding At Harding Waterfront Estate

July 16, 2024July 10, 2024 by Rachel

Julia and Geoffs’ stunning wedding at Harding Waterfront Estate, was dream to design. From the initial design process, through to the execution of every stylish element, this wedding is all the right vibes. Collaborting with Laura from Muse Events, every detail, added style and sophistication to the over all look. The classic and elegant white on white floral design was accented with black details for a modern touch.

Julia and Geoffs eyes first met on a sunny beach in Punta Cana, while on Spring Break. As they say, the rest is history while purchasing and renovating their dream home, Geoff got down on one knee. It was all a dream and wedding plans were to be made.

Stylish and memorable elements included the most beautiful black ceremony structure detailed with contrasting clusters of white roses, peonies, and lysianthis. Beautiful Julia walked up the most dreamy (If
I do say so myself) floral lined aisle. The reception tent at harding included chic black accents, like spindled chairs, and a black and white checkered dance floor, which added sophistication and style.Thank you Geoff and Julia for trusting us with your special day. And thank you for your kind note after the wedding… The last sentence is the best and made me smile!

“from the moment we met Rachel and her incredible team, we cannot sing their praises enough. Their knowledge and passion for florals and design, was evident. They went above and beyond, to bring my vision to life… Their expertise and guidance were invaluable… not to mention she has the best snack drawer ever.” Thank you so much Julia and Geoff, we are so glad you loved your florals and thrilled you loved our snack cupboard! ha ha ha

The Most Luxurious Baby Shower Design

March 28, 2024March 28, 2024 by Rachel

The most special delivery, a baby boy, is on the way, and we loved designing the most stylish baby shower for our clients and proud parents S & H! There was no shortage of beautiful blue and fluffy delphiniums for this design. We often get asked, “What do you do with all those flowers after an event?”. Well no worries here, because nothing was wasted. Every guest went home with a personally wrapped bundle of the beautiful blooms. Lots of extra for Mom-to-be of course. We worked closely with Toronto Event Planner and friend, Michelle, from Sincerely Yours Events on this one and rest assured, every detail was perfect! The sweetest sweets included petite hot air balloon cookies and stunning macaroon towers from the talented artist Nadia from Nadia & Co. The focal point of design interest for the flowers and decor was found in the middle of the room and surrounded Nadias’ sweet treats. Our fabulous, metal hot air balloons grounded with mounds of delphiniums were a show stopper. Possibly one of my favourite looks for a baby shower! Thank you to H & S and their PR team for trusting us with such a special event.

Our metal hot air balloons, filled with delphiniums, created a stunning area to display the adorable blue macaroon towers. The concept for the baby shower, ‘Special Delivery’ was developed around the hot air balloons. How cute is that?

We are dreaming of summer events and that includes beautiful bridal showers. One of our favourites to date, is Aly’s Italian inspired brunch in the pavilion at Casa Loma. A stylist herself, Aly wanted a stylish garden party vibe which included the most thoughtful guest experience, including a customized jewelry gift area. The flowers and decor were reminisce of Italian courtyard and included a oversized custom Olive Tree. We loved working on all the pretty details with our talented friend, and Toronto wedding planner, Michelle from Sincerely Yours Events. Her creative floor plan included sofa vignettes, and gave an elevated feel to the afternoon affair. For a full list of vendors see bottom of post.
