In the span of about a week and a half, I've had the experiences to design for both happy and sad occasions. But this time the sad was on a more personal level.

This coming September, it will be 14 years since I designed wedding flowers for a lovely couple who tied the knot on a sun kissed beach at a private residence. It was an absolutely splendid day. My husband & I not only delivered, set up the floral decor on-site, and flowered up the wedding party and family members, but we were also invited guests. What a wonderful celebration for us to participate in.

A couple of years went by, and that lovely young bride called on me to design tributes for her mom who had passed, and I was sincerely honoured to do that for her family.
She and I have kept in touch through Facebook and I've followed her journey of becoming a mom to two boys subsequent to her marriage.

Now, after many more years, she called on me again. But this time to provide tribute flowers for her husband's memorial service that took place a few days ago. He was only 39 years young and his passing was most unexpected. Needless to say, I found the tragic news hard to believe. But I'm so glad that I was thought of for the exceptional privilege to honour his life in this way and to provide some beauty to his family even at a time of profound grief & loss. Heartfelt prayers continue for them. 🙏💝

👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️💝 The month of May kicked off with Charlene & Justin's wedding at Bridlewoods Event Center in Chilliwack. I was entrusted to create these oh-so-pretty arrangements for their memorable occasion and I was smitten with all the fabulous blooms I had to 'play' with.

I captured the bride's vision of pastel tones with pops of light blue and coral for her bouquet which was absolutely swoon worthy. Justin's boutonniere was made to match Charlene's showpiece, while the pastel theme carried through to all the other personal flowers and the decorative florals for the reception space.

On wedding day, when I greeted Charlene in the bride's room with her bouquet, her words of "so pretty" speaks volumes to this gorgeous set I'm calling 'Prelude To Summer'.

Congratulations and the best of wishes to Charlene & Justin on their nuptials! 💝🥂

This week I had the delightful opportunity to create a bright floral arrangement and deliver it to a lovely couple celebrating 65 years of marriage. 'Spring Fling' as a name for this generous composition is a perfect fit since it's such a happy & colourful collection to include Spring things such as forsythia, irises and curly willow with it's freshly emerged greenery. This was fun! 💚💛🧡💜

Friends & followers, I hope you had a very blessed Easter season and that the Ressurection Sunday message & celebration was especially meaningful to you. As I have done for the past few years, I've adorned the cross in our church sanctuary with a floral arrangement at Easter. It is an honour for me to do this in celebration of the EMPTY cross & the victory over death that it represents. Rather, there is life and the beauty of flowers emphasizes that perfectly at a time of such significance.
After the service, as I feel led, I gift the flowers to someone to enjoy in their home. Either in appreciation or to give encouragement. This year I presented it to this lovely young lady, who I just met that morning, with the hope that it would bless her and her family. 🌿🧡💚🌿
