Amy and Vincent – A Romantic Fairytale Wedding

by . Posted on

 

Congratulations to a beautiful couple, Amy and Vincnet. Wishing the two of you a wonderful journey as you build your new life together!

Amy is a romantic bride and white is definitely her favourite colour. White symbolises sacred and pure. It’s a simple colour, yet it works very well with other hues, and in this case, purple. During her wedding, we have helped her design a beautiful “Cinderalla Pick-up Style” receiving table and cake table- with a touch of bright crystal buckle showered with purple petals on the top of the table to add a little more romanticism into the atmosphere.

Amy’s bridal bouquet was very special. Not only were there white hydrangeas, but fresh lavender roses, purple lisianthus, ivory hypericum berries and misty blue limonium were also used.  The bouquet was finished with an ivory satin wrap which had pearls and diamond brooch to give the bride the extra “bling”.

Below are some photos of the happy couple, the beautiful bouquet, and of course, the decor of that night. Enjoy!

Florence and Jerry’s Wedding — A Simply Elegant Wedding

by . Posted on

 

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!

Kema and Lawrence’s Wedding — A Gothic Fairytale Story

by . Posted on

 

Congratulations Kema and Lawrence!  You two look wonderful together.  May your love for each other continue to grow each day.

Kema is a red girl, which means she must have red in her wedding.  The groom prefers to have some black and white element in the wedding to keep it formal.  When the couple told me that their wedding colour is red, black, and white, the word “Gothic” immediately just crossed my mind.  However, having a totally Gothic wedding may be too taboo for the couple’s family.  Also, Kema would like to have a fairytale wedding, just like how many girls dream to have one for their wedding day.

Who would imagine that a fairytale wedding can be combined with a Gothic-coloured theme?  Well, we sure pull this one off.  We have used red and black as accent colours, to make these bold colours more stealth.  To achieve a fairytale look, we have used twinkle lights everywhere — backdrop, tables, and the arch.  We have also added a ceiling drape to soften the atmosphere.

Below are some of the photos taken from hall, note that this hall has been decorated for dual usage (ceremony and reception).  The arch is removed after the ceremony, the ceremony chairs are re-used for the guest tables, and the ceremony table is used as the cake table after the ceremony.

Susanna’s Bridal Bouquet – Simply Purple, Stunningly Beautiful

by . Posted on

 

Susanna is getting married in Punta Cana, but before she flies to the south for her destination wedding, she is having her civil ceremony in Toronto.  To keep things simple, Susanna ordered a purple bridal bouquet for herself only.

There are not that many types of purple seasonal flower around during the winter months, but iris is one of the few available ones.  Although the shape of the flower is very pretty and unique, iris is not an easy flower to work with.  Iris has a very short vase life, and it is extremely sensitive to humidity changes.  To ensure the iris would not open up too quickly, we have wired each iris individually to control its bloom size.  We have also conditioned them thoroughly to ensure their petals retain its moisture and would not wrinkle-up.

Here are some photo of the happy couple and the bouquet.  Enjoy!

 

We are glad that Susanna loves her bridal bouquet.  Below is a thank-you letter from the bride.

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

by . Posted on

 

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!

Amy and Imraz’s Wedding — A Black, White, and Bling Wedding

by . Posted on

 

Congrats to the newlyweds Amy and Imraz!  It has been my pleasure to work with the two of you.  Like how everyone from your wedding said so, I just want to tell you that your wedding is purely AWWWWESSSOMMMEE!!!

During our first consultation, Amy and Imraz already brought in a lot of their inspirational pictures.  Most of them suggest a black and white theme.  So, I offered the couple some advices on the latest black and white trends (such as the use of damask pattern), and how adding some bling bling (crystal elements) would add a modern touch to their wedding.  I am glad that you two love the final effect of the wedding decorations 🙂

Amy and Imraz had their wedding reception at Riviera Parque (http://www.rivieraparque.com/), which is one of the largest banquet halls in Ontario with 20 ft ballroom ceilings.  If you would like to wow your guests with a jaw-dropping atmosphere, this is the venue for you!

 

The following is another great review for Secrets Floral from the couple.
