Caribbean Sunshine

Caribbean Sunshine

    Blonde & beautiful Lisa was born in Mandeville, Jamaica. I met her for the first time when she came for her floral consult. I met her fiance, Dustyn, for the first time when he was a newborn because it just so happens that I used to work for the doctor who ...

The ‘BUDGET’

In it's original translation, the word budget means a bag, pouch, purse, or the contents. Now, we would think more in terms of what's 'in the purse', such as a collection of items, stock, or money. By taking it a step further, just how much money the purse contains brings us a little closer to the real deal of  ...

Dolce Amor

Dulce Amor {sweet love}!  ********** A love story can't get much sweeter than this one and I'd like you to meet Hayley & Octavio. Their romance began in Puerto Vallarta while Hayley was vacationing with her family at the resort where Octavio worked as one of the main show performers (a very good one I might add). Although their initial ...

“Are you expensive?”

This is a question I'm asked now and then. Considering that I have a titanium rod and screws in my left tibia (leg) worth about 2 to 3 grand, plus all the dental work I've had done over the years, I guess I'm not exactly cheap. My husband seems to ...

Honeydew

  I did a couple of weddings this season with the unique color combinations of white, teal blue, and apple or bright green. Jenn was my first bride to choose this palette for her event, and to be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first of how the blue & green shades would look ...

Exquisite!

Although my client Diana thought her bouquet was 'exquisite' (& I was thrilled), I thought she also looked particularly exquisite on that morning of July 31, 2009 when I swung by the wedding venue to delivery all her flowers. And she wasn't even in her dress yet <grin>.  I remember feeling extremely tired that morning, but my weariness quickly vanished when Diana saw her gorgeous bouquet ...

Amy’s Dance

  Amy & Shawn - an adorable couple! The color pink for weddings still remains a popular choice for brides. Not only for it's feminine appeal, but for it's softer and more subtle romantic allure than say, red. It most definitely appealed to my client, Amy, where her magical day was concerned. Due to her bubbly personality I envisioned her wedding as the dance ...

Heirloom

On July 11, 2009 Brett & Naomi got married at one of the prettiest country settings I'd ever been to for a wedding. The private property nestled in the heart of the Fraser Valley is also home to peacocks that wander freely around the yard and swans lazily swimming across the large pond. This ...

Lavender Seduction

  A sweet couple in their sweet vintage ride! My first meeting with Christine was such a delight and we were so on the same page about her flowers. She and her fiance, Jason, were planning a vintage theme for their wedding on May 30, 2009, and she wanted her flowers to have nostalgic flare.  Because fragrance was also important,  dried lavender ...

Diamante Brilliance

A fabulous winter day of February 21, 2009 marked the memorable occasion for Kevin & April Gerbrandt's nuptials. They really lucked out with the weather because it was so unseasonably warm, allowing them the good fortune to have many of their photos taken outside. Langley Airport in front of a vintage plane, an old Texco gas station, grain ...
