Weddings...from the Lane.
A groom's boutonnière, below....
I have never really shared my floral designs in one post, and unless you go back through my archived entries you may miss my real passion, flowers! From growing them in my garden to arranging them for a prospective client, it is something I never tire of...
I can spend hours on the tiniest detail, that probably only a handful of people would notice...
From the vintage containers, to the natural elements collected in our woods, like fallen branches and moss..
Here, vintage silver bride's baskets waiting to be filled, in the carriage house...where I do all the work....
I never tire of the possibilities....
I strive to bring every clients vision to a reality...
Whether formal, or not so much...
A very casual vineyard wedding...
...utilizing Mason jars and collected vintage glass....and rusty, garden ornaments...
...to shiny gold chiavari chairs and chocolate brocade...
I like to create tabletop vignettes, rather than just one solitary arrangement...
Ferraro Roche chocolates and chocolate dipped biscotti under bell jars, with deep red roses, made for a beautiful wedding colour board just prior to the holidays....
I also had custom, chocolate brown tablecloths made for this wedding...
I must never lose sight of my clients wishes, at the forefront of every project...
A mock up, presented to a bride, in my garden...
A bride's bouquet...
Working on a seasonal urn, this past fall...
...a birthday luncheon....
I loved making these nest centrepieces for my friend Susan, for the baby shower celebrating her first grandchild...
...little white chocolate enrobed shortbread bird cookies were the favours....
It was a little boy....
...above, a Marie Antoinette inspired mock up for a fund raiser luncheon...
I loved making these, but they proved too cost prohibitive...
....but, my most favourite thing to do, is arranging flowers from the garden, like peonies...
...and roses...
...and hydrangeas...
Upper most in my mind, always to bring beauty to the weddings and events I create....I strive to surpass my client's expectations with every commission...this summer our wedding assignments will be in full swing beginning in June...wedding month... I hope you enjoyed these photos of a few of my floral projects...

Nella! I had no idea that you did this! And like you, rusty white garden ornaments are the way to go. Everything is GORGEOUS! Anita
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Nella,
ReplyDeleteI always thought to work as a florist would be absolute heaven. Your designs are gorgeous, Nella. I especially love the bouquet with astilbe, the nest centrepieces, and your pink peonies. What joy to work with flowers and create arrangements that enhance such special occasions!
I hope this morning finds you feeling much better!
Hugs,

So beautiful, especially the peonies, roses and hydrangeas from your garden. They are my favorite flowers and my one regret about moving to SW Florida...they do not grow well or at all (peonies) here.
ReplyDeleteI love how your tabletop arrangements each have something unique about them, something that says "gathered-from-the-garden". It's wonderful that you have such great resources on your own property to incorporate. Bravo! I've enjoyed the snippets of your work that I've seen, but really loved seeing all these photos together.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Keri

ReplyDeleteNella, these are all such gorgeous images and I can tell you are passionate about what you do and strive create the perfect ambiance for all of these occasions. It's amazing all that's changed when planning a wedding or shower of some sort. I love the simplistic, yet elegant feel.. like the mason jars:) so sweet filled with something as simply as babies breath.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your week. xxleslie
