Summer Weddings

Summer is a popular time to get married. As I am writing this, my desk is covered with Wedding invitations, one in the Hamptons, 1 taking place in Jamaica, and 1 in Edmonton, Alberta. And another in Toronto. So many weddings, and decisions to be made as to which ones to attend.

At The Camellia, we put together a plan for your reception decor, these lovely Vases contain seeded Eucalyptus, hydrangeas, roses, and proteas with hypericum berries.

Lovely Fresh Bouquet of Roses, spray roses and hydrangeas. We do fresh bouquets here at The Camellia, fresh weddings must be booked at least 6 months ahead.

Brooch bouquets compliment a vintage, Gatsby style wedding dress. We can make one for you, or you can take a class and make your own.

We sell brooches individually, so you can DIY. Click here for information on DIY classes http://www.thecamellia.com/classes-at-the-camelia.html

 Here is a Bridesmaid bouquet we designed for a Wedding last July.

 Fresh corsages for the Mother of the Bride.

We also design  faux Vintage-look Bouquets here at the Camellia.

 We carry Cottage Paint, you can use this paint directly on top of varnished wood, to paint frames. wooden furniture, or even to paint your kitchen cabinets.

Here at The Camellia, we have wonderful Gift ideas, this would be a Gift a Groom could give to his Bride on their wedding day.

Crisp, cotton pillowcases, would make a great shower gift.
Come visit The Camellia, we are at 30, Hacquoil Rd. Slate River, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

Alternative Wedding Cakes, The Camellia

There are so many choices today for Wedding Cakes. Cupcakes have risen to new heights, and giving out Cupcakes saves you the time of cutting up individual pieces of cake.

What kind of Cake are you thinking of serving at your Wedding?

Forget the real Flower centrepiece....how practical is this....look at the detail of the blooms on this cupcake centrepiece. Your guests may be tempted to sneak a bite before the dessert stage.

We are just in LOVE with this natural colour scheme of moss greens and chocolate with a  burlap runner. All cakes were photographed at the National Bridal show in Toronto at the end of January 2014.

If you would like a totally different Buffet Table centrepiece, how about these fresh fruit creations?

Come visit us at The Camellia, for fresh, creative Ideas for your Wedding Day!

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

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!
