Bond Ballroom Wedding

Here are a few photos from a wedding that we recently designed at The Bond Ballroom. Stefanie & her mom Jeri were a pleasure to work with from our first consultation to the day of the wedding. Unfortunately, Stefanie's grandfather had passed away before the wedding and she requested that we wrap her bouquet with pieces of his favorite shirt and a locket with his picture, it was such a special touch. We often get requests to add some type of memento to add to the brides bouquet, we have used pieces of  mom's wedding dress, grandma's brooches and dad's cufflinks to name a few!
Thanks to Christy from Christy Murray Photography for capturing these beautiful photos.

The perfect alternative to real candles

We have a brand new line of candles that I just love & I'm sure that you will too, especially if your wedding is being held at a venue that does not allow real candles. These candles are different from the traditional LED ones, the flame looks so real that you have to touch them to see if they are real! I can't wait to use them at home in my windows during the Holiday Season!
At the present time we have ivory pillars in 5 & 7 inch and we will have votive candles sometime in January. They are available for rental as well as purchase.

Echeveria Bouquets


Echeverias are arguably the most attractive of all succulents, highly valued for their amazing colours and variation, with the stunning leaf colour of many varieties at its most brilliant in the cooler months. Native to the Americas, they are prized by collectors and gardeners alike. Their rosettes range in size from 2cm to 50cm in diameter. They generally flower in the warmer months with colours ranging from white to orange to pink to red.
We have been using echeverias in our bridal designs as they provide texture and a rich lush look.
They can be used as an accent flower or as the focus flower as you can see in the photos from a wedding we designed this past May for Katie & Dustin.




Thanks to Brian & Kate from Brian Ambrose Photography for capturing great photos of the bouquets.
