Weddings, and more weddings oh my!

We have been so busy with this awesome wedding season, we have done so many variations of colors and styles that I can barely keep up with updating our portfolio, its almost there just a few thousand photos to go through.

heres a sneak peak

Inspiration from Nature

Using feathers in weddings is not a new concept, we have used all kinds of feathers from all sorts of birds - ostrich, peacock, quail, etc although we sometimes forget where these wonderful feathers come from. This weekend I came up close and personal with a very beautiful peacock who was so eager to show all his feathers

WEDDING // KORTRIGHT CENTRE

This wedding was so beautiful in the great outdoors. The weather was perfect and Koright Centre full of nature and greenery made the bouquets pop and our bamboo chuppah was a perfect addition to such a beautiful day.

Weddingbells - Rustic Fall Theme Wedding

Weddingbells asked us to provide fall inspired bouquets, and centerpieces. We absolutely loved doing the pumpkin one with fresh cymbidum orchids, another centerpiece was comprised of sunflowers, the bouquet which was lush and full filled rich in rustic tones had callas, dahlias, orchids and eucalyptus. Enjoy!

Canada Blooms 2011 - Professional Florist

Spring is almost here but at Canada Blooms spring has sprung. There are thousands of beautiful flowers are blooming and the aroma of fresh flowers is in the air.

At Nice Stems we LOVE Canada Blooms and once again we were asked to be apart of the Professional Florists displays. This year the theme is JUNO and what better way to show our love for music and flowers than to create a one of a kind arrangement where the flowers are made from old vinyl records and fresh flowers.

Peonies Wedding Bouquets

Peonies are absolutely beautiful. They are lush blooms that grow in red, shades of pinks (from light pink to hot pink, white and cream. They are so popular, most want them but not everyone can have them, as they have a limited season. Theses beauties are grown outdoors, and while they can be imported there is still a limited growing season in other countries.

After all the peonies have disappeared a great contender is the garden rose. They are fragrant and beautiful and can often look like peonies. Just remember that they cost a bit more than roses but if the flutter flower look is something you want for your wedding than the garden rose is a perfect flower.

Can you tell which image above does not include peonies?

Stephanie + Lee - Say I Do!

Stephanie and Lee are such a great couple. Their wedding was fun and light, with all the beauty of perfect weather a beautiful church and a rockin reception that lasted well into the next day.

Hope you enjoy the short film.

Wedding Review Google:

I Love Nice Stems!! For our September 2010 wedding i visited many a florist trying to find the right fit. Margarite right away makes you feel as though your wedding/event is special and unique.. and she is just as excited as you are, it was such an amazing experience! At many other places you are treated as 'just another' wedding. Margarite takes the time to listen to your ideas and brainstorm on different ways to make that a reality. I for one wasn't 100% sure about what i wanted in regards to my bouquet and she took the time to help me figure that out. I know everyone keeps saying this, but it is so true.. Margarite goes the extra mile!! Any question i had or additional idea i wanted incorporated was always answered right away and she was always happy to do it. At the end of the day the most importantt thing is that the flowers were STUNNING!!! By ... For our September 2010 wedding i visited many a florist trying to find the right fit.

At the end of the day the most importantt thing is that the flowers were STUNNING!!! By far the most compliments were on the bouquets, centerpieces etc. It really captured the look i was going for and everything was exactly as we had spoken about. I would recommend Margarite & Nice Steams a million gazillion times over! Any friend of mine requiring floral decor will be sent to Nice Stems!

Black and White Flowers - Weddingbells Magazine

Black and white is awesome as a wedding color scheme. It is classy, and modern chic. So when Weddingbells Magazine asked Nice Stems for bouquets, centerpieces and boutonnieres that incorporated these colors we sent them a bouquet with chocolate cosmos, white gerberas with dark center and commercial mums. The centerpiece was similar in style using hydrangea and gerberas with dark centers in a high gloss black container (will post pics at a later time). The boutonniers were simple finished with black satin a nd a small detail. Although we were limited as there is not a huge amount of flowers that appear "black" the flowers we selected worked out beautifully. Happy viewing!

OLD MILL WEDDING - ROXANNE + JEFF - REVIEW

We had the pleasure of working with Roxanne and Jeff's wedding. Their ceremony and reception was held at Old Mill in Toronto. We loved this couple they were so happy to get married their day was perfect and I loved reading this review on Google.
- Thanks Roxanne and Jeff

"Margarite ROCKS!‎‎ Margarite did an AWESOME job for our wedding! The selection of flowers were absolutely spectacular. We had requested for a green apple themed wedding and Margarite delivered with creativity and spot-on sensibility. Everything she did exceeded our expectations: the two large floral arrangements near the alter and the two green apple filled white urns were at once whimsical and classy, the centerpieces on the welcome table and dinner tables were contemporary and romantic, and the soft petal arrangement on the cake table is simple yet stunning. Margarite created the perfect ambience that we had hoped for – sweet, romantic and very classy. We feel extremely grateful and lucky to have worked with Margarite. Not only for her incredible talent, but also for her warm and caring personality - she very kindly and calmly stepped in to help out with small details such as pinning the corsages/boutonnieres on the bridal party when we were all going crazy with nerves. Thanks very much!!!"
