As the golden days of summer fade and we step into the cozy embrace of fall, I can’t help but look back with gratitude. Summer was filled with flower-filled celebrations, unforgettable weddings, and the sweetest clients who trusted me to bring their visions to life. From candlelit aisles to vibrant blooms, each event told its own love story — and I feel so lucky to have been a part of them.
There were so many wonderful moments this season, but one that I’d love to highlight is an intimate wedding at the breathtaking Langdon Hall with Bernice and David. With its beautifully kept grounds and award-winning dining, it’s always such a joy to design florals for this venue.
The day began with her bouquet — filled with white roses and white stocks, with delicate touches of blue tweedia. Soft, elegant, and perfectly suited to this stunning affair, it set the tone for the entire day. There’s something so magical about the moment a bride holds her bouquet for the first time — it’s a quiet pause before the excitement begins, a personal connection to the flowers that will be part of her memories forever.
The ceremony took place in the solarium — just the right size for their closest guests to connect and soak in every moment. We adorned the chairs with florals and created two arrangements for the top of the aisle, which were later repurposed to the dining table.
For dinner, the couple and their guests gathered around a table filled with lush blue and white florals, layered with candlelight to create a warm, inviting glow
For the statement piece, the clients wanted to make use of the fireplace mantel. Since the portrait above couldn’t be removed, we embraced it — weaving florals into the space so it felt as though the design and the artwork were meant to belong together.
It’s no surprise that blue was definitely the colour of Summer 2025. I love adding soft touches of blue into a design — it pairs beautifully with so many palettes.
💙 What about you? What colours do you see in your wedding? Do they hold any special meaning for you?
With love & flowers,
