If you have been reading us for a while, you simply know how much I LOVE peonies, all colors of them, but these pink ones are just stunning! With the peachy orange of these roses and hot pink of the spray roses it is a soft and happy mix all together.

Pretty, pretty, pretty!

How soft and feminine are these bouquets with white hydrangeas, dark pink and light pink spray roses and pink roses. I also love the addition of green santinis to brighten up some of the bouquets and their use as boutonnières is so cute. The branding of the bouquets and boutonnières in 3 different colored ribbons also add a very nice and finished touch.
Congratulations to Laura and Mark, all the best!

Mariage de rêve: la soumission

dimanche

Comme je vous ai promis hier, je vous présente aujourd’hui mes sketchs et la palette florale pour ce mariage de rêve au thème haut en couleurs!

Les fleurs choisies sont le cymbidium vert, l’hydrangée fushia, la rose orangée, le celosie rouge, le mokara jaune, la feuille de pandanus et comme accent des plumes mauves, des crystaux et du verre, beaucoup de transparence et de textures!

Les bouquets et boutonnières sont formés des fleurs nommées ci-haut. La finition de rubans orangés et fushia ainsi que de crystaux et plumes mauves permet de garder le thème constant et le souci du détail présent.

L’arrangement pour les tables à cocktails représente une superposition de deux vases séparés d’une vitre, ceux-ci remplis de crystaux et de fleurs colorées. Une petite chandelle accompagne le vase du haut.

Le centre de table est à couper le souffle! Une géante boule de fleurs et boa de plumes mauves sur un vase et chandelier avec, à l’intérieur, un collier d’orchidées et de crystaux. Le tout entouré de quatres vases carrés avec feuilles de pandanus à l’intérieur, et d’un tapis de fleurs à l’extérieur.

L’arrangement pour les tables du lounge est constitué d’un vase rond et bas, contenant au centre un vase cylindrique plus haut avec une tige d’orchidées et crystaux. Ce vase est entouré de fleurs colorées variées, tel que mentionné plus haut. Plusieures lanternes seront aussi disposées aux travers la salle pour une ambiance des plus chaleureuses.

La pièce de résistance est sans aucuns doutes la décoration de la table à marque-places. Une grande vitre sépare une multitude de vases, fleurs et crystaux. Que ce soit des hydrangées flottants ou des colliers d’orchidées, nous adorons chaques pièces de cette composition massive!

Voilà! Je me demande ce que le talentueux chef chez Traiteur Primavera aura concocté de son côté pour ce projet, ainsi qu’Amélie Cousineau pour la photographie! Souhaitez-nous bonne chance!

Wedding Boutonnieres and Corsages

Boutonnieres and corsages

Attention to details is one of our most precious vertues, we definitely bring it when it comes to boutonnières and corsages!

These tiny flower arrangements need to blend in perfectly with the rest of the wedding flowers and every touch counts. Whether it is the use of the correct flowers (some flowers cannot be used as boutonnières or corsages because of their longevity out of water) or the finishing using proper colored ribbons or other accents repeated elsewhere (like pearls, crystals or specific leaves) the finished product will always look fabulous!

Boutonnieres and corsages

A little history:

A boutonnière is a floral decoration worn by men, typically a single flower or bud. The word comes from the French boutonnière, or buttonhole, which is the British term.

Traditionally, a boutonnière was worn pushed through the lapel buttonhole (on the left, the same side as a pocket handkerchief). However, on many recently made coats and jackets, the lapel is made without the stem loop required, which would normally sit on the reverse of the lapel, beneath the buttonhole. Sometimes, the lapel buttonhole is in the ‘keyhole’ shape, as opposed to the traditional straight cut, or is not even pierced through, in which case the boutonnière may be pinned onto the jacket lapel, although this is considered unsightly by many.

A corsage is an assembly of flowers worn on a woman’s dress or worn around her wrist. Corsages are often worn by the mothers and grandmothers of the bride and groom at a wedding ceremony.

Annick & Martin’s Montreal Wedding Flowers

wedding flowers for a Montreal wedding

Wedding Flowers

Annick and Martin are a young fresh urban couple from Montreal.

Their colors being eggplant and sage green, we played it off adding some lilac, purple and lime green to create an awesome color scheme! We used dark eggplant mini-Callas, lilac roses, purple Dendrobium Orchids, lime green Cymbidium Orchids and green Santinis. The stems of the bouquets and boutonnieres were wrapped in an eggplant ribbon with an accent of sage green ribbon.

We still have some pictures of their ceremony area arrangements to share with you next monday, stay tuned!

Valerie & Fabio’s Wedding Flowers

Romantic Wedding Flower Arrangements

Romantic Wedding Flower Arrangements

Valérie and Fabio are a fresh & beautiful young couple from Italy, that picked Montreal as the place where they want to exchange vows and celebrate with their family and friends their love and union.

They picked the Nelligan as their venue. A modern and beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Old Montreal.

When I hear Italy, I think romance! Don’t you? And this is exactly the feeling Valerie and Fabio’s wedding flowers reflected. Romance, lots of it! The soft pinks, blues and white color combination, and their choice of flowers (white and blue hydrangeas, cream and sand color roses, soft pink spray roses, cream cymbidium orchids) made the overall feel of the wedding elegant, soft and romantic

The idea was to use flowers, flowers, and more flowers, with no greenery. And this creates simple soft yet romantic luscious bouquets.

Congratulations to the beautiful couple!
