Edmonton Delta South Photoshoot

admin — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:45:21 +0000

I had the privilege of working with some fabulous vendors this past fall on a whimsical photoshoot with the colour combo of aqua + yellow + grey. My three favourite colours. This is, more than likely, how my wedding would look if I were to do it all over again! I love texture and visual interest and this reflects my eclectic and modern style. Enjoy!

Happy 1st Day of Spring!

admin — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:15:01 +0000

With spring comes weddings, and TULIPS! I’m proud of my Dutch heritage and there is nothing more dutch than the Tulip. I love tulips. They should be appearing very soon in home gardens, but from florists now is the time for tulips. Weddings in late March and April are the best time to have tulips, they are fairly inexpensive and come in array of colours. Buying them for late May is extremely risky, I could tell you my own wedding horror story (re: May wedding and tulips), only horror story about the wedding, but will leave that for another day.

Awesome Carnations

admin — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 17:04:35 +0000

There is a huge misconception about Carnations in the wedding + floral industry, that they are a cheap horrible looking flower. I beg to differ. They have a beautiful ruffled texture and come in pretty much any colour under the rainbow and are a very hardy flower. Making them an ideal filler or primary flower. One of the variations of carnations you may not recognize is the green trick. It’s the last photo, the green mossy looking flower. Yup, that’s a carnation, but most florists won’t call it a carnation because most people turn away from that word.

Take a look at the photos below, and I dare you to still tell me carnations are an ugly cheap flower.

We were asked by the fabulous Ryan + Beth to set up a display for a workshop they had created for photographers to learn. We came up with this pretty little number when we worked with Akiko Floral Artistry and PinkPolka Design Stationery!

I couldn’t tell you how much I love Fuchsia and Charcoal. But then again, I love a good contrast in textures and colours! So pretty.

To Cover or not to Cover?

Chair covers can be a large expense, but are the really worth the $2.50 – $5 per chair fee? Well take a look for yourself. Remember there are different styles of chair covers, the ones pictured below are a satin chair bag.

NEW Martha Stewart

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:11:36 +0000

So I don’t know how I missed these, because if you know me well, Martha is my God. She is my idol. I love DIY. Well anyways she launched a new line at Staples, which just happens to have products that would be perfect for your DIY projects. I personally love the Emobssed and Kraft paper labels!

Good Luck with your projects, I’m off to place my Staples order!

Wedding Tip

admin — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:41:53 +0000

Every time I watch a wedding show, or look at random wedding photos this one gets me.

What’s wrong with this photo? I can’t see her dress. She should be holding her flowers much lower. I’ve even seen photos where bridesmaids or brides have held their flowers almost up to their chins. So when walking down the aisle, hold your flowers at or under you bellybutton. Yes they are beautiful flowers, however, so is your dress!
