Peony Love, the Camellia, Thunder Bay

 Peonies are one of my favourite Flowers , they especially look beautiful in wedding bouquets. And they smell nice. You can gather them from your garden, picking them when they are about half open is best. The key to keeping them fresh is to hydrate, hydrate and hydrate. These babies need lots of water.

For Wedding Flowers and DIY Wedding Flower classes, visit The Camellia at 30, Hacquoil Rd. Slate River. On.

A September Wedding, The Camellia, Thunder Bay

September is the perfect time to get married. The summer's heat has become bearable, the bugs and biting flies have subsided, and the changing colours of the leaves become a stunning backdrop for photographs. Yellow, oranges, rusts, burgundys, and browns - such a wide colour spectrum to choose from.

Ceremony decorations made from neutral earthtones and bundles of wheat can be reused as door swags after the wedding.

Centerpieces can be made from faux flowers with an insert of fresh sunflowers, again these can be re-used after the ceremony.

Pumpkins can be gilded and glittered and used as centrepieces on the tables at your Reception.

And the marvelous colours of Fall are free! 

 Here is a faux bouquet that we have added fresh blooms to.

Lavender-themed Wedding

Outdoor Weddings are beautiful - and impromptu signs like this one - really add a country vibe to an outdoor Wedding.

Love this idea of a Wine barrel for decor.

What a lovely spot for an outdoor ceremony, this spot is in California, no bugs!

Here at The Camellia, we carry all kinds of Lavender favours, this is Lavender essential oil from Matanzas Creek Winery.

Lavender plants growing in Napa Valley, California.

 Spanish Lavender pots which you grow for Decor at your Wedding. This is growing in my patio in Northern Ontario.

 Lavender garlands and swags look wonderful at the Wedding Reception, and the smell...!

There are many different varieties of Lavender. Orders for these special varieties should be placed months ahead. At present, we have a good stock of Violet Intrigue Lavender.

Moving onto another subject...

What Bride wants to be laced into an uncomfortable dress, that's pinching and biting, and falling down, and you're constantly doing the pull-up-shimmy-shake.... Think about

Cotton Wedding dresses  ...offered by owners  Fikre Ayele, and Chris Kole. Heaven is being comfortable and light and airy when wearing a dress for 8-10 hours. Cotton breathes.I just love Cotton.

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
