Let's talk DIY florals.

First things first. Florists are amazing! I am always in awe at the works of art they create! They are an amazing investment to make your wedding beautiful.

It's possible hiring a professional isn't in your budget. Or you are a DIY bride legend and want to do as much hands on creation for your wedding as you can. If you're thinking this might be you I'm here to tell you it is possible. It will take you time, and looooooots of it.

For Maegan's wedding all her flowers were DIY'd by myself and a team of her closest friends. It was a super fun girlie time, spent chatting and making the arrangements through a lot of trial and error.

Swipe to see some of the behind the scenes and a few of the other arrangements we created.

This month I want to highlight one of the most serene moments of a wedding. The first dance. The wedding day can go by so fast but the first dance serves as a beautiful reminder to the couple and their guests of why everyone is there. I find that even partners who aren't into dancing/avoid being the center of attention enjoy this part of the day as an intentional time to take a breath and be with each other.

I'm starting with and a couple I had the privilege of working with in 2025. Brett and Isabel were full of fun and love all day and getting to watch their first dance felt so special. Not only did they do a First Dance they also did a private "Last Dance" to Isabel's favourite Tswift while their guests got ready for the Grand exit!

Rain or shine, love prevails. This Pemberton wedding day was filled with unexpected twists - a power outage and a little drizzle couldn’t dampen anyones spirits though! Anna and Russells wedding was so special! This was a couple that really knew how to have fun

Happy two years to this beautiful couple! 06-25-2022
