January 29, 2023January 20, 2023 by Rachel

I’m thrilled to share with you, Gianna and Morgans’ dreamy garden wedding at Graydon Hall. The beautiful couple met on bumble and Gianna said, she is so glad she swiped right! Their story continues with an engagement on a perfect sunny day at the pier downtown Oakville with their puppy, Maverick! A summer wedding was planned and one thing is for sure… Flowers were going to be an important part of their special day. Ok lets talk flowers shall we? It might have been the incredible floral canopy our team designed that has had such place holder in my mind, but I also loved the show stopper seating chart with was detailed with the most stunning display of blooms. Working together with Muse Events, there wasn’t a detail that was over looked. Even the fireplace mantle held levels of cascading blooms. I love garden weddings, and Morgan and Gianna’s was no exception. Jessy, our lead designer, worked closely with the couple to make sure every flower dream came true.

Gianna shares how she came to having confidence in our approach. “I had been following Rachel Clingen on social media for several months and was in awe of her spectacular work and stylish designs. I just knew that they could achieve and perfectly execute the vision I had for my wedding day. There are no words to describe the level of professionalism, expertise, and artistry displayed from the initial meeting.” Thank you Gianna and Morgan for trusting us with such a important day in your life and thank you for loving flowers as much as we do!

Theres just something about an out door wedding ceremony, followed by tented reception. If I am honest, some our most beloved designs are the ones curated for outdoor and estate venues. Our stunning couple, Katie and Taylor were childhood sweet hearts since they were 14! Their long panned for nuptials took place on a beautiful day at Harding Waterfront Estate with their closet friends and family. If I am honest, some our most beloved designs are the ones curated for outdoor and estate venues. and Katie and Taylors’ was no exception. Although the grounds at Harding are the perfect canvas for stunning ceremony, we couldn’t wait to add our pretty floral touch. Our team created a magical white floral aisle detailed with the most delicate and wispy blooms but if I had to pick my favourite design element, it was the large hanging floral feature suspended in the tent. Created with blocked florals, the look was artful and unique. Working closely with Laura from Muse Events, the wedding design included stylish black details giving a fresh and modern vibe. Conratulations Katie and Taylor! Thank you for trusting us with your special day. For a full list of vendors, see bottom of post.

John And Vanessa’s Beautiful Wedding At Four Seasons Hotel Toronto

January 11, 2023January 10, 2023 by Rachel

John and Vanessa’s colourful wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto was one for the books. The colourful and creative palette made for exciting design meetings with Vanessa. I loved Vanessa’s enthusiasm for a unique look, when we were in design meetings together. Together with wedding planner Laura, from Muse Events, we created a fresh and creative style throughout the wedding details.

John and Vanessa met on the first day of university, but it wasn’t until a year later when they were orientation leaders together that Vanessa shared her affections for John.
It worked.. because on New Years Eve, John proposed while on a secluded beach while on vacation together… and from there the wedding of their dreams was about to unfold.

I always love a unique colour palette, but one of my favourite decor features were the incredible floral trees that spanned almost fourteen feet and were over 16 feet tall!
Our team designed and built these one of a kind features with branches laden with foliage and colourful flowers. I also loved the unique x shaped floor plan which allowed the trees to be anchoring focal points in the room.

Congratulations Vanessa and John! Thank you for trusting us with your flowers and decor.
