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

Lawson Crouse Marries Beautiful Claire At Harding Waterfront Estate

January 10, 2024January 10, 2024 by Rachel

I’m so excited to share this stylish wild flower infused summer wedding. The truth is, we are still swooning over the images from NHL Player Lawson Crouse and his beautiful bride, Claire Stewarts’ stunning wedding at Harding Waterfront Estate.

Claire, a model/stylist and Lawson, a professional hockey player for the Arizona Coyotes, crossed paths throughout his hockey career, but it was after Lawson reached out on instagram, (usually replying to Claires cooking posts), and a conversation over a cheesecake that sealed the deal, and ultimately lead to a dinner date. “When you know you know, and after our first date we both told our friends that “he/she is the one”, recalls Claire. During a memorable summer trip to France, on one knee and in front of the Eiffle, Lawson proposed. The couple celebrated their new engagement for the following weeks on the French Riviera.

We loved working with Claire on the design for her wedding. Her love for personal styling, interior design and her modelling career, brought to the table fresh ideas and a keen eye for style. Modern elements breathed sophistication a chic-ness to the look, while wild flowers and artistic stationery, brought an ‘un-done’, yet fashionable feel to the table. My favourite floral feature to design was the oversized and very dramatic floral urn created which created a visual focal point in the reception tent and towered over the circular wood bar. It was a pleasure to work with wedding planner Ashley Pigott on this one and as expected, the day was executed to perfection. Thank you Claire and Lawson for trusting us with your flowers and decor design. It was such a pleasure working with you.

Thank you to our talented friends at 5ive 15ifteen for sharing their incredible captures of the day. For a full list of vendors, see bottom of post.

I always enjoy receiving feedback from our clients. I asked Claire what her thoughts were on working with our team, but wow, such sweet and thoughtful response. “I will start by saying how much fun we had with the process of working with you and your team. It is not enough to say that you exceeded our expectations, because everywhere our heads turned on the wedding day was lightyears beyond that!!! The aisle was breathtaking… but when when we walked into the tent, we were absolutely speechless. I remember being blown away by your posts and past event images when I was first looking at wedding vendors. It was very clear to me that if I wanted floral magic, that you are the best of the best!! I had such high expectations from the photos alone, but after meeting with you and your team in the studio, it really solidified that you guys are all that, and so much more. I loved coming in and seeing the table mock ups, and sample arrangements brought to life. The process was so creative, and welcoming, and just fun to experience! I felt like my wants, and over all vision was taken by you and amped up beyond anything I could have imagined. Your personalities and passion for what you do makes all the difference in not only the process, but the end result. I don’t have the words for how grateful we are for the wildflower heaven you curated for us at Harding. The pleasure was all ours, and I will be looking for any excuse to work with you again.”

January 20, 2023January 18, 2023 by Rachel

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.
