That’s all I can say – I just received these pictures and am completely blown away! The photography by Tara McMullen is stunning! I couldn’t choose, so I’ve posted lots! You can see more at The Wedding Co. who featured this wedding on their blog yesterday.
The floral direction I had from this beautiful couple was one of simplicity, all white with a touch of green. I never tire of the classic, as it always looks great, as you can see in these pictures. For the bride’s hair piece I used magnolia blossoms, which have the most incredible smell that lasts and lasts all day. The groom received a peony bud boutonniere with variegated greens and some bear grass. The bride’s bouquet was a simple grouping of all white peonies at their peak, so soft and romantic. I created simple boutonnieres using salal leaves and green hypernicum berries for the groomsmen. The bridesmaids had similar bouquets with peonies, but I also introduced some greens into theirs as well as some Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’ (one of my favourites) in the maid of honour’s bouquet. Despite the incredible heat that day in June, the peony floral trees I made for the ceremony held up, framing the couple perfectly during their nuptials on the outside patio at King Valley Golf Club. The centrepieces turned out beautifully with garden roses, peonies, mini green hydrangea and green hypernicum berries. The subtle use of green tied in with the green origami cranes that the bride’s mother made for each of the guests! Also, the amazingly perfect wedding cake and the groom’s cake was made by my very own talented mother, Jane Wood of Sweet Jane Desserts, although she’d say that my dad did most of the work.
A beautiful day, marking the start of a life together for these two, Kimiko & Kyle – an amazing couple!
Enjoy,

What some might not know about this day, was that we did two setups! The venue was debating moving the ceremony inside due to the weather and at one point made that decision. I’m glad we moved things outside in the end, but here are a few images from the inside setup, which I think look very striking silhouetted against the window.
