We have a few Canadian wedding websites to ogle when wedding planning .. it is just plain factual. We were so stoked when approached by the Canadian wedding site "hitched.ca", asking to feature one of our most favorite wedding bouquets.
Of course we said YES!
We were totally honored to be chosen for the article "20 way's to make your wedding stand out". It was such a treat and we wanted to share it with you!
Don't you just love it eh? !
Please enjoy and give Hitched.ca some Canadian love!

Always better with a model...
We take hundreds of pictures every week. Almost nothing is sent out with at least a mini photo shoot. It is just as important to have a lovely portfolio of our paper designs as we use to have for our fresh wedding designs.
If rushed for time we snap our designs in our backrop room with a vintage shabby chic dresser as our back drop.
Mel found the dresser while thrifting and she added a few coats of paint and a bit of glaze to add some distress, giving it the lovely shabby look.
However, we have found the photos Etsy favors are with a model. This meaning, most all of our front page or Etsy newsletter photos have been the ones chosen with a model in them.
So, we do take the time to photograph with Iris as our model. Often a white background is favorable for treasuries, we dress her up in a white dress or pretty blouse and she is off and running for our photos.
This week we were able to wrangle her in for a mini shoot before we hit the post office with our finished orders. She never likes her face to be included .. sometimes it has to be .. for example our halos ! but for these shots we just cut her off at the chin .. so to speak ;)
Here are a few beauties to share with you.
Enjoy!

Hello Lovelies!
We have been hard at work in the studio perfecting our dye colours. This week we have finished off our first mint hydrangea bouquet. This bouquet is part of an order for our client Rhianna.
Rhianna has 4 maids and a few little ladies in her wedding party, these lucky girls will get to hold and KEEP this fabulous bouquet! THAT IS SOOO COOL!

A wonderful first year!
Though we have been in the wedding business over 17 years this was our first year of creating primarily alternative bouquets. We've loved the fresh weddings we had this year as well but we have fallen in love with Etsy and our alternative bouquets.
We have shipped our bouquets all over the world. Many bouquets have gone to Australia and the USA, we have shipped to Gibraltar and the United Kingdom.
We were blessed with a feature in Vogue Conde Nast publishing BRIDES magazine August/ September issue in the UK.
We have been featured on many large and small blogs alike, each one we are grateful for.

Supporting art's in your community.
Aim and I are very honored and indeed feel blessed to be supporting the Art Gallery of Hamilton's Cinema Hamilton Awards.
Today, September 30th, 2012 the Art Gallery of Hamilton is holding the closing event for the AGH BMO World Film Festival called the Cinema Hamilton Awards (The CHAs). The local independent film festivals have joined forces with the AGH World Film Festival to celebrate excellence in independent film production in Hamilton. Tonight's Cinema Hamilton Awards night is an exciting evening where the award winners are revealed and the prizes given in eight categories from Best Short Film to Best Feature Film.
We have provided use of centrepieces for the tables and we are honored to be along side great artisans in the community. This evenings theme is vintage Hollywood so we ran with inspirations from the 20's - 50's using milk glass vessels, french netting and feather accents among our fabric blooms and paper flowers. Tones of sepia, cream, ivory and white were combined, to provide depth and aged character in each arrangement.
Aim & I are both supporters of Independent film makers. Our big brother Brandon has been experimenting in film since he was young. Brandon went on to attend Humber Colleges' film program, upon completion (after a memorable experience involving cop's and the tactical team .. unplanned.. during filming... of a drive by shooting scene..) Brandon went on to produce many great bodies of work. Along the way, working with great friends and clients over at Partners Productions and now enjoys a career at Toronto's Dazmo Digital. Yes, we have a fondness and a respect for all aspects of film.
We congratulate the City of Hamilton’s Economic Development Office and Beaux Mondes for the giving of time and talent to produce the 2012 Cinema Hamilton Awards tonight at Theater Aquarius.
