How are Wedding & Event Florals made.


Great how-to of what goes on behind the scenes at your Florist. Make sure you click on the link above, and watch the entire video. Sometimes we get Brides in that wonder, "but why do Wedding Flowers cost this much, this is crazy..!??" I'll just do my own...just look at all the designs on Pinterest, it can't be that difficult...

J. Schwanke shows an EASY Trick for concealing a water supply and making a hand tied bouquet that can be set on a table for many hours. This trick using a Sphere of Foam will allow you to design your flowers so they LOOK Like a Hand Tied Bouquet... with none of the worry about them being out of water!

If you want to DIY, but end up getting frustrated because it is harder than it looks, just take a class at The Camellia. 














 The mechanics behind the design. 














  Here's one of the bouquets we designed for a Wedding last Summer. If you would like to do you own Wedding Flowers, we can order in the fresh or faux blooms, and you can mkae them in our studio. http://www.thecamellia.com/classes-at-the-camelia.html

National Bridal show 2014 , Toronto, On.



Here's a Report on the National Bridal Show, which took place at the Direct Energy Centre, in Toronto, On. The weather outside was frightful, cold and windy, but once you were inside, a world of Bridal elegance awaited. 






This display of Curly Willow and hanging roses really caught your eye as you walked around. Simple, yet stunning in its simplicity.



And this fabulous display in a blush pink and ivory palette, roses and pink apple blossoms. and fab furniture, and so much more!













A fresh bouquet of spray roses, roses, and hydrangeas, a lovely bouquet for a Bride. 







 Too many choices...so many colour combinations to choose from. Loving this blush Pink & Black.




 Classic creams & whites. Always in style.



 White with a bit of glitz.



  Faux Botanical Bouquets... whcih is our Speciality at The Camellia.




 Kleinfeld is now open in Canada, at Hudson's Bay, they had a fabulous array of designer Wedding dresses.



 Love this Kissing ball with the brooches in the middle of the blooms. We just received a new shipment of Vintage-look brooches and pins. Come into The Camellia to see them!




 I was totally inspired by this assortment of sweets  ....wonderful mixture of burlap tones, chocolate and minty greens.



 Here we are experimenting with singed satin blooms.
