A Modern Yellow and Silver Wedding Decoration

15 Nov

This beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony took place at the Estates of Sunnybrook. The guests were surrounded with the green forest, and the aisle is draped with cream voile swags. Cluster of fresh yellow solidago were tied to the chairs. Fresh yellow, green, and white arrangements are placed at the front of the ceremony.

The reception is at the Estates of Sunnybrook as well, in the Vaughan Estate. All tables were dressed with silver damask tablecloth, which create a very modern look with their white sleek chairs. Yellow, white, and green flowers were used for the fresh flower centrepieces.

A Purple Wedding Ceremony and Reception Decoration with a Touch of Bling

by admin. Posted on October 30, 2013

A wedding ceremony in the bright, sunny Lakeview Room in Atlantis Pavilions. The aisle is lined with the premium satin aisle runner, while two sides of the aisle are draped with cream voile. The chairs and the front of the aisle are decorated with purple, pink, white, and green flowers.

The reception in inside Atlantis Pavilions too. It would a shame to cover the extraordinary lake view, so we did not create a backdrop for this wedding. The head and cake tables are dressed in purple to match the theme. They are designed with pleated royal purple stripes on top of the crushed taffeta tablecloths. The tables are also crystallized with the bling ribbon around it. For the guest tables, we have used the royal purple satin chair covers to add a splash of purple.

Florence and Jerry’s Wedding — A Simply Elegant Wedding

by admin. Posted on December 9, 2012

I am delighted to be the decorator for Florence and Jerry’s wedding. The couple has chosen the Estates of Sunnybrook to host their wedding. The Estates of Sunnybrook is one of my favourite places; it has a lot of character and charm, by fusing traditional architecture with modern interior design.

In addition to working with the awesome couple, I also get to see some of my awesome friends on the wedding day, including Peggy Lee and Eric Choi.

Peggy is an talented makeup artist. Like always, I saw her working the magic on Florence, but then again the bride already has a beautiful canvas to work with. Eric is another fabulous person to work with. His photos always capture the precious moments of the wedding day, not to mention his work is always consistently beautiful.

Check out the photos of Florence and Jerry’s wedding. Some photos are courtesy of Eric Choi. Enjoy!

Tina and Shawn’s Wedding Flowers — the Romantic Garden Love

by admin. Posted on February 20, 2012

Congrats to Tina and Shawn! You two look lovely together~~!!

Tina is a romantic girl, and she adores the purple colour a lot. I remember each time during our meeting, I would see her in some sort of purple. Without a doubt, we have designed her wedding flowers in purple and white.

Tina likes things to look more casual, so she prefers her bouquet to look like fresh garden picks (i.e. a loose-tie bouquet). Even though we have created her bridal bouquet like a loose-tie, we have ensured her flowers stay fresh by concealing an internal water source within her bouquet. Also, we have used annabelle hydrangea in her bouquet, which is a white garden species to make her flowers more garden-like.

As a romantic girl, Tina wants to keep her bouquet as keepsake, but she knows the tradition is to toss it away. So, we have embellished her bouquet with a Swarvoski crystal brooch, which is removed and is kept by the bride before tossing away her bridal bouquet.

For the rest of the bridal party, the couples has chosen to use the artificial calla lilies to keep the cost low. Who said a single bloom cannot be a complete bouquet? Check out the bridesmaid bouquets, they are made from a single calla lily. It is simple, modern, and chic!

The following is the thank you letter from the bride Tina. We understand that throughout the planning process, it is common for the couples to get all kinds of inspiration. At Secrets Floral, we listen to your idea, because your wedding deserves to be perfect!

How to Choose Your Perfect Bridal Bouquet

by admin. Posted on December 18, 2011

The bridal bouquet is one of the most important and beautiful elements in any wedding. The perfect bouquet should enhance the beauty of your gown, complement your body, and set the tone for the wedding.

Bridal bouquet now comes in all colours, shapes, and styles. They can also be made with fresh or silk flowers. Some brides prefer to use fresh flowers because they smell nice, while others choose to use silk flowers because they are everlasting. What you choose to use is totally personal, since both types are equally popular.

However, what you wear on your big day and how self-conscious you are, will hugely influence the style of bouquet you should choose. In general:

Cascade Bouquet — The most traditional and formal style. Best for taller and fuller figures; compliments A-line gowns or dresses with a train.

Cascade Bouquet

Overarm Bouquet — A less common style for today’s wedding. Best for slim figures; compliments long and skinny dress styles.

Overarm Bouquet

Pomander — Great for vintage-style weddings. Best for petite figures; compliments short or calf-length skirts.

Pomander

Round Bouquet — The most popular choice and works for all types of wedding. Best for petite figures and brides with medium height and build; compliments bias-cut and modern-look dresses.

Round Bouquet

Loose-tied Bouquet — A little less formal than the others and gives the illusion of a bouquet with just-picked spring flowers. Best for taller and slimmer figures; compliments skinny and simple dresses.
