Stunning Wedding Shoot at The Fairmont Empress Hotel

If you live in Victoria, BC then most likely you have visited the famous Fairmont Empress hotel. Or at least driven by it on many occasions while driving through downtown. The historical hotel, as well as the parliament building steps, was the venue for this beautiful shoot we did for KnotsVilla.com.

Take in the details of the most exquisite bridal gown that paired beautifully with the array of fresh blooms for the bouquets and arrangements for the shoot. If this shoot doesn’t give you mega inspiration for a wedding fit for royalty, I don’t know what will!

Maple Bay Autumn Style Shoot

This autumn shoot was inspired by the rich beautiful colours that we are surrounded by on Vancouver Island during fall time. The shoot took place all outdoors in the natural elements with the natural beauty surrounding us. The venue, Maple Bay Manor was the perfect backdrop with forest, dock areas and luscious lawns to use.

We used natural elements in all the florals that we designed, which included roses and calla lily as well as lots of greenery to tie everything beautifully together.

Whimsical Boho Wedding Style Shoot

Nothing reminds you more of fall than jewel tone florals, rich textures and lush green fields. That was the inspiration behind this boho wedding style shoot. Different botanical textures, lush organic materials and a variety of colours were used for the florals of the bouquet, decor and cake decorations.

The autumn months are coming and this shoot is just a small reminder of all the gorgeous colours and that we get to look forward to at this time of year as the seasons change. Rich, and whimsical bohemian style has our hearts swooning!

Bilston Creek Farm Wedding Day Romance

On this gorgeous day we were taken out to Metchosin to work on a wedding day shoot taking place on Bilston Creek Farm. This twelve acre farm was one of the first properties in what would become British Columbia — talk about history! Today, this historic property offers a truly unique backdrop for wedding venues, retreats and events. Inspired by the natural beauty around it, and entwined with the activity of life on the farm. It’s where 170 year old apple trees grow alongside fields of lavender, where you can discover the same wild beauty that’s drawn people there.

The soft pinks, oranges and peach colours of the florals tied right in with the romantic backdrop of the farm. The perfect location for a romantic french inspired wedding shoot.

Art in the Gardens at HCP

We recently collaborated with an amazing team on a styled wedding shoot on the grounds of the Horticultural Gardens of the Pacific. The results… these absolutely stunning images that capture every detail of a wedding day. This is a sneak peak into our world of styling and designing weddings. Each vendor brought their best to the table to achieve the finished results! We meshed fine art with garden styling and came up with some amazing and intricate details such as a succulent bow tie, matching succulent belts for the flower girl and bride, and cake hanging in the forest and hand painted large scale paintings surrounding a serpentine circle aisle, so the bride and groom pass every guest on the way to and from their vows! Your wedding day, what dreams are made of… and the work that goes on behind the scenes, this is how it all happens!

If you’ve never visited the The Garden’s at the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific (HCP) before, it is a must see! Located just 12 kms from downtown Victoria, the HCP is cared for by staff, students and volunteers! The garden started in 1979 with the philosophy of connecting people with plants. We thought the gardens would be the perfect venue for this wedding day shoot.
