A Lavender themed Wedding, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario

It can be difficult trying to figure out what colour your Wedding should be. You pore over images on Pinterest, get advice from all of your friends, and just get more confused and indecisive. You've set a Date and need to make some colour choices now! 

What about Lavender and Purple? Lavender goes together perfectly with grey suits, and there are many lavender & purple flowers to choose from. 

Here is a beautiful Lavender & Purple Bridal bouquet we designed for a Bride with faux flowers. 

Fresh Lavender Blooms in the Garden, only possible if your Wedding is around the same time that the Lavender plants are blooming. This is a possibility in Napa Valley, or in southern Ontario, or on Vancouver Island. Not in Thunder Bay. Here at The Camellia, we use dried Lavender to make Bouquets. 

There will be some Lavender buds falling because the bouquets are dried. Here is one of the Bridesmaid bouquets. 

And the Bride's Bouquet, with dried Lavender and faux roses. 

Here is another Wedding with Purple and Lavender Flowers, with a picked-from-the-field-Wildflower-look. Again, we used all faux flowers, yet these bouquets look fresh. Why use faux flowers? They can be designed ahead of time, will not wilt, will not freeze or die if it's too hot, and you can keep them as decor in your Home long after your Wedding day.

A purple-themed Thunder Bay Wedding

Colours.... How does one pick their Wedding colours amidst all the choices out there? You may have a colour scheme in mind, say blush pink and soft gold, and then when you go dress shopping,,...you can't find too many dresses in your colour choice. So a colour switch happens...in this case...to shades of PURPLE or as a little 2 year old was heard to pronounce  ....pooooiiiiple. Can fake flowers look real  .... absolutely!. These flowers are all faux botanicals  ( in plain English, silk-like flowers).

Bridesmaid bouquets designed by The Camellia. 

The Bride's Bouquet - of Hydrangeas, peonies, roses, statice, ranunculus, berry sprays and freesias. 

Hours of labour go into designing a Bridal bouquet like the one above. Shape, colour, texture all play an important role. Here at the Camellia, our focus is on designing the most realistic looking bouquet for you. We start with the best quality botanical flowers. And the best part, you can use your bouquet in your home after your Wedding. 

We do boutonierres and corsages.....no wilting or crushing and you can have them ahead of the actual Wedding  day. can't do that with fresh flowers....

Miniature deer horns worked into the boutonierres - a special request from the Bride. 

Table centres - a perfect mix of rustic and soft. Birch slices and Babies Breath with a square of rough burlap.
