Happy Canada Day, 2020! We hope you're enjoying your self somewhere by the water, trying to stay cool.

Many of you may have planned on getting married this Summer, and you would like all your seashells lined up in a row. Instead nothing can be planned and uncertainty is the new norm.

Maybe you have a Farm nearby and you can have a small ceremony in their field, or maybe in your own Garden?

Tabletop arrangements, The Camellia, Thunder Bay



 Hello there!! Today, I want to share with you some tabletop arrangements I  recently designed. Just look at this colour combination! One can't help but feel happy..!  The springy-ness of the Lime greens, the splash of sherbet orange with the Tropical Amazon Roses, and the creamy whites of the double Tulips. When planning a Wedding, one often forgets about putting a small arrangement in the Salle de Bain.. The size of this design is just right, flowers are placed in a tall Mason jar.






 This design  is made with the help of a sisal collar, which helps to keep the stems in place. It is a great design aide, and we sell these at our store.





 Look at the colour of the peppermint carnations, against the green hypericum berries, and the white Star of Bethelem.





 Hydrangeas  .. loved by most, but so quick to wilt. These flowers need a lot of hydration, so if you are using these in your arrangements, best to have some extra stems on hand, and someone who can go around during the event checking for water levels and replacing stems if needed. I was at a wedding recently where the girls' bouquets were wilting by the time the Reception came around...you really don't want to have this happening .





 Ornamental Cabbage, variegated pitt, and gerbera daisies add interest to this design.






 This design uses Swiss cheese leaves, and Magnolia foilage, along with white Stargazer lilies.







If you need Flowers for your Wedding ceremony, come talk to us! Visit our store at 30, Hacquoil Rd, to see sample Bouquets. Call (807) 475-3551 to arrange a complimentary Bridal consultation. if you and your Bridal party would like to make your own Flower arrangements, you can do so in our Studio, Flowers have to be preordered, and there will be a Workshop and Design fee.

Happy Wedding planning!

DIY Ruffled Burlap Head tablecloth, Camellia's, Thunder Bay


 After viewing Rachael Ashwell's lovely ruffled tablecolths, I started dreaming of making one myself. I was pretty sure it was" one of those lovely to look at, but challenging" to make  kind of projects.

Hmm.. what type of burlap to use..the type sold at Co-Ops and landscape supply stores which is cheaper, softer, and more of an open weave?
Or the more expensive Burlap sold in Fabric stores with a tighter weave and more stiffness?
In retrospect the landscape type would have ruffled better, but with the looser weave, we would have to use a backing fabric exactly the same colour as the burlap.

Lots of thinking along the way.

Not a project for a person with little patience! Thanks to my friend and client Lauren who gave us much of the insights into this project...she was making this tablecloth for the Head table for her son's Weddding Reception.



 The ruffled burlap was too thick to get stitched with a regular Sewing machine...so she ended up hand basting the ruffles on in parts, and using stickon velcro to attach the ruffle to the cloth. Or you could use an industrial sewing machine instead.





 I love the look of this, what do you think?















 I'm just making these vintage Paper flowers, they go really well with the burlap.

Flowers under water - Quick DIY Table designs for Weddings




 Sometimes Wedding decorating doesn't go as planned, and you may have to improvise at the 11th hour. What to do??? Grab whatever is in the garden, in this case, Sweet peas, pansies and seashell cosmos. Throw the blooms into a mason jar, and float a gladiolus floret in the water.














The Sweet peas smell heavenly..I wish you were here to smell them!

Mosquito nets are so Romantic for your Wedding Day



I grew up in the Tropics, near the rainforests in Guyana , near Brazil. A Mosquito net was a necessity in that area. This photo was taken at Haiku Mill, look at the tin roof showing on the ceiling. I am remembering the 
sound of the rain hitting that tin roof.


Quite amazing that  something so practical can be Oh so romantic! 

Look at how lovely this photo is! 

Want a mosquito net? you can purchase them at Camellia's, they come in white or ivory, priced at $39.99.

Boutonierres and Corsages tied with wool & raffia



Boutonierres look so much better with their stems wrapped, and wrapping in Wool is so much easier than using ribbon and glues.

Purple & Plum Bouquets, Camellia's, Thunder Bay, On.



Purple and Plum can look quite dramatic against black dresses. Here are some stunning design pieces. Even the humble carnation can look dramatic when used en masse.
