How to drape a ceiling for your Barn wedding, the Camellia, Thunder Bay.

Do you pore over pictures on Pinterest showing a beautiful Barn Wedding? Love the look of a draped ceiling but not sure how to do it, or more importantly, how you are going to be able to afford to pay for it? Then look no further. Click on the link below, and you will be able to see how this was done, and what we love the most, it takes you through the-step-by-step of figuring out sizes of fabric panels, and how they installed them. If you want to have your panels lit, then you also need to think about availability of plug-ins.

Why choose Faux blooms over Fresh flowers? See The Camellia at Thunder Bay Wedding Show 2017, Victoria Inn, Thunder Bay

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?

•       Flowers don't wilt on hot days or freeze on cold days
•       Can be made way ahead of Wedding Day
•       greater Selection of Colours in artificial flowers
•       no need to worry about pollen allergies or sensitivity to smells
•       can be used after your Wedding in vases as decor
•       easy to transport to Destination Wedding sites
•       DIY your own Bouquets at The Camellia
•       can be sold after on buy & sell wedding sites
•       Vintage elements & Brooches are easier to incorporate into bouquets  

 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...? 

     

And a Head Table Garland - all designed with faux Flowers - this is a Rental item from The Camellia.

Getting married in Napa Valley, California

Napa Valley is a wonderful place to get married ..... there are rows and rows of vines and Olive trees. 

It almost never rains in California. There are so many lovely venues for photographs. 

You can incorporate Wine-tastings at one of the many Vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, & St. Helena. 

This is where a ceremony was being held the day we were visiting Napa Valley. Low level lighting and many barrels of wine set the stage for a beautiful ceremony. 

The smell of the barrels and wine wafts through the air.....

Even with the drought in California, these Olive trees are lovely. We visited Napa Valley in October...the days were hot and sunny, with a bit of morning fog and cloud. 

This is an entrance to a private estate with rows of cypress trees. A stunning photo op. 

So many places to stop and have lunch, or Wine, or both. 

This dramatic chandelier just adds to the ambiance in the wineries, as seen in Yountville.

How do you know if a destination Wedding is right for you?

• You both love the Beach and hot weather.
• you are both very busy with work and have little or no time to plan your Wedding
• you want to have just the important people in your lives at your Wedding celebration
• because of your careers, the Winter is the only time you can both get vacation time

What's the downside...? you'll be sharing the Beach with many other Vacationers, so lack of privacy.

That clear Caribbean Sea and Jamaican heat and sunshine....what could be better? 

Relaxing in the Spa. 

There will be all kinds of outings and watersports for your guests... no worries, it's Jamaica mon! All photos taken on site at Iberostar Resort, Montego Bay, Jamaica.
