Happy 1st. Day of Spring! Pink Dogwood, and White Wisteria blooms, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario

 Sometimes when you are travelling on a roadtrip, you make an unscheduled stop, and you happen upon something so beautiful, you get out your camera and take a bajillion pictures, but none of them really do it any justice. This was the case with this beautiful, large white Wisteria Tree/Vine. The white blooms were massive and hung overhead in giant white clusters cascading towards you....never have you seen something more beautiful! The Wisteria was in a Garden Centre which sold stone statuary for Gardens. And so it is with Flowers and your Wedding,,,the two go hand-in-hand. Flowers add so much to your Wedding Day. Flowers are Magical.

The play of white against dark, soft blossoms against the hard edges of stone. Your Wedding would not be complete without Flowers. Can you imagine your Wedding photos against this lovely Wisteria backdrop? Photographers are taking Wedding photos in unconventional places... just take a look at Pinterest, and you will see the most interesting and who-thought-of-that photo backdrops. 

While you are driving around Vancouver Island, in the Spring, you will come across Flowering Dogwood, in white and Pink. Pink dogwoods would make a beautiful photo backdrop for your Wedding...the entire Tree is almost covered with Blooms! 

Don't they look like someone has meticulously painted them with a Paintbrush? Pink and White is a classical colour scheme for Weddings. What colours are you planning for your Wedding? 

Flowers add so much to your special Day... these are Gerbera Daisies, they come in a wide array of colours.

Brides quite often choose Faux Silk-like Flowers for their Wedding Bouquets.  WHY ARE SO MANY BRIDES CHOOSING FAUX ( SILK-LIKE) FLOWERS FOR THEIR WEDDING?

•       can be used after your Wedding in vases as decor
•       easy to transport to Destination Wedding sites
•       DIY your own Bouquets at The Camellia

 If you are debating what to do, whether to get fresh flowers or you might be leaning towards artificial flowers, come see us at the Camellia at the Thunder Bay Weddings Show 2017, at the Victoria Inn, in Thunder Bay, from 11.00 to 4.00. We will be at Booth # 30 in the Main Ballroom. Here at The Camellia, we have been creating beautiful Faux Bouquets for 35 years, and we use the most realistic-looking Flowers. Brides usually tell us that Wedding guests will come up to them and say.."Don't you have to put your Bouquets in some water..? " Our Faux Bouquets look real! 

Here is a Wedding which took place on Valentine's Day in Thunder Bay, it was probably -30 that day. Bouquets stayed looking beautiful, made of dried Lavender grown on Vancouver Island, mixed in with faux grasses. 

This is a Purple themed Wedding in the heat of Summer...faux flowers used in the Boutonnierres means no crushing or wilting, blooms stay looking fresh all day and night. 

Faux corsages for the Bride's Mom and Dad. 

The lovely Bride's Bouquet - all made of faux blooms. 

These are the Bridesmaids Bouquets - all faux flowers, but they sure don't look it! And there is no last-minute worry, will my flowers be here in time for the photos, will they be wilted in all this heat...?
