Kelly and Lucas

Setting: 
Description: 

2022 spoiled Eastern Ontario with an abundance of gorgeous summer days. Kelly and Lucas chose the 30th of July to say their “I dos”, in a gorgeous ceremony at Kelly’s parents’ home in Perth, ON.

Kelly and Lucas, both from Perth, actually met while they attended the University of Guelph.
“We both knew who each other was, and had mutual friends, but we didn’t meet until we were at University.” They would become and remain friends during University and met up for a drink in Perth the year after they finished University. Kelly and Lucas began dating shortly after, in 2011.

When deciding on the flowers for their wedding, Kelly and Lucas worked with their wedding planner and Krista to set the airy and fun, but elevated tone that they envisioned for their wedding. “Though it was a backyard wedding, we wanted it to feel like a wedding and not just a backyard party.” For Kelly, the florals chosen would be key to executing this vision. The flowers that were selected include white larkspur, barista roses, white dahlia, pink carnations, white Majolica spray roses, white wax flowers, Vandella, salal, and ruscus.

One of the many personal touches that Kelly and Lucas included in their planning was making sure that their dog Kobe was a part of the wedding. “One of the personal touches in our wedding was our dog. Something I loved was the crown of greenery around his neck.” Kobe walked down the aisle and was a part of the ceremony, wearing a crown of seeded eucalyptus.

The final touch for the wedding flowers was the design of the archway, which Kelly and Lucas said their “I do’s” under. “I wanted an arch but wanted something unique. So I went on Pinterest to look at ideas and came across that shape. It was my brother who actually built and stained that for me. It was another really nice personal touch.” When discussing the flowers that would be included on the pieces, Kelly and Krista both agreed that the arrangement of the flowers on it would need to make a statement. Krista designed the arch pieces to make sure that they stood out against the trees and lush greens that lined the
property.

Rustic Cottage – Kathryn and Cody

Setting: Family Cottage and Ecotay, Tay Valley; September 17, 2022
Description: Rustic Cottage

By the time September rolls around in Eastern Ontario, we’ve beat the heat from the hot summer days and have a few weeks of beautiful, warm temperatures before the coolness of fall sets in. It’s on one of those stunning, sunny, middle-of-September days that Kathryn and Cody said their “I do’s” at their gorgeous wedding ceremony in Tay Valley.

Kathryn and Cody met in 2012 and were introduced by one of their mutual friends. From there, they formed a friendship that would last a few years before they began dating on a gorgeous mid – September day. 5 years after, on the anniversary of when they began dating, September 17th, Kathryn and Cody were married at Kathryn’s family cottage in Tay Valley and a reception that followed at EcoTay.

When deciding on the flowers for their ceremony, Kathryn and Cody worked in collaboration with Krista to design a wedding that would suit the laid-back feeling that they were keeping in mind for their wedding. The flowers that were selected include; blush anemones, sweet Natalie dahlias, burgundy astilbe, white roses, hanging amaranthus, cineraria, eucalyptus, and fern. “When we talked to Krista we pulled up Pinterest then. We did send her some flowers but we weren’t too particular in terms of what we wanted. We did want eucalyptus and anemones; we loved those and thought they were beautiful so we made sure Krista knew that, and just let her go from there.”

The final piece of the floral puzzle for their wedding would be Kathryn and Cody’s Skip, which was adorned with all of the gorgeous flowers included in the bouquet and centrepieces for the wedding. “When we had met with Krista, we didn’t have any sort of wooden skip. Our families have canoes, but nothing specifically like that. I was looking online and there was someone who listed one in Brockville. So we drove down, checked it out, strapped it into our truck, and brought it home. It wasn’t just a one-off piece, but something that we will enjoy forever.”

Rustic Forest – Alan and Krista

Description: Rustic Forest

Love came naturally for Alan and Krista. That old saying of when you know, you know became relevant almost immediately for the pair and they decided early on that they would put down roots together near Alan’s hometown of Perth. A stone’s throw from the couple’s home, nestled into a glistening maple forest, there was no more perfect setting for winter nuptials than Temple’s Sugar Bush.  Here inside the majestic timber frame architecture, loved ones gather in front of a traditional hearth, the mantle adorned with wintry greens, magnolia leaves, natural twigs, pine cones, and cream tones of lisianthius, astilbe, mums, roses and jasmine. The design is unlike anything else that’s been seen at Temple’s before. Long, low centerpieces and clusters of elegant gold vases filled with white tulips, twigs and cedar carry the woodland décor throughout the building and lush spruce boughs form a garland overheard. Hearts are warm and the room is cozy as the Groom and guests await the Bride’s arrival. Krista enters carrying a hand-tied bouquet featuring a dreamy collection of grey roses and off-white tones of lisianthius, astilbe, tulips and jasmine. Pinecones, stiletto pods, magnolia leaves, cedar and eucalyptus have been carefully incorporated to create the natural, forest-picked feel that was envisioned for the day.

Setting: Stonefield’s, Carleton Place September 20, 2013
Description: Vivid Romantic
The sun peeks over the roof of an old stone farmhouse nestled in amongst lush country gardens, surrounded by age old log cabins and rustic barns- all of which is framed by acres upon acres of rolling farmland. On this warm September day, Marie-Josee & Paul have travelled from Ottawa with their closest family and friends to exchange heartfelt “I Do’s” outside on the historic steps of this picturesque venue. Yearning for a unique romantic experience, unexpected combinations of colourful blooms and petals have been chosen to adorn antique wine barrels and to highlight the grassy aisle and chairs. These vibrant floral designs carry the theme throughout the poolside cocktail hour and into the reception space which is set to take place under a magnificent white tent. As the sun sets, Marie-Josee and Paul’s happily ever after is added to the rich pages of Stonefield’s history and another wedding vision is made reality by our creative team at Kelly’s.

 

 

Rustic Luxe – Ainsley & Chris

 

Setting: Asbury Freemethodist Church, Best Western Plus Parkside Inn & Spa, Timber Run, Perth, January 1, 2015
Description: Rustic Luxe

It's a crisp New Year's Day and the quiet snow-swept streets of downtown heritage Perth await the celebration of Ainsley and Chris's new life together. It all begins with a nostalgic ceremony in the Free Methodist Church where Ainsley's mother grew up; a community in which both Bride and Groom are active members. The modest surroundings of the church have been embellished with glamourous floral designs in classic shades of cream and blush flowers. Birch bark and poplar branches add a rustic element. Once vows are exchanged, the party starts with some cocktails at the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn and Spa. Here, luxe metallic-toned balloons paired with cream and blush cruiser table arrangements showcase the gorgeous event space. The final stop on the itinerary is the majestic Timber Run Golf Course; a breathtaking log structure that Ainsley and Chris are mad about, now dressed to the nines with elaborate mercury glass vases filled with fresh hydrangea and blush roses. Soft cream fabric drapes frame the entrance held back by romantic floral tiebacks.

It's a sight to be seen as the bride and groom make their first entrance as newlyweds, with Ainsley's stunning bouquet held high for all to see. This is the wedding's statement piece, an all rose bouquet complete with ivory pearls to achieve the luxe feel of the entire wedding vision. The talented duo of Luke & Lee Photography don't miss a beat, capturing precious moments in time for Ainsley and Chris to enjoy for years to come. Wedding planner Becky looks around at everyone enjoying what's left of this special night and feels honoured to be part of such a beautiful day
