With the rustic trend going strong, classic Canadiana continues bear influence on everything from fashion to decor. There are endless options when it comes to wedding-appropriate Cancon — especially if you’re hosting a woodsy or whimsical affair. Consider working iconic symbols into your reception decor, opt for traditional footwear for some unique photos, and wow your guests with Canuck-approved treats — poutine cupcake anyone?
Unkempt bunches of wildflowers can be just as pretty as any traditional tightly-structured bouquet. The truth is, the right presentation can transform backyard blooms, wheat, herbs and even pinecones into elegant showpieces. When selecting your bouquet consider using locally-grown flowers accented by twigs or vines. Then wrap them in burlap or twine to match your rustic decor. Choose colours inspired by your woodsy surroundings, like oranges, browns, and greens, and add in a few natural elements like pine cones, acorns or fruit to complete the vision.
Moody hues coupled with romantic roses and and pretty ruffles are quite the striking mix. Inspired by the sophisticated ambiance, often found in British tableware and wallpaper patterns, Weddingbells was inspired to go town with this amazing cakes and flowers shoot. From a six-tiered painted cake to a pillow confection, here are six wedding floral arrangements and sweet treats to help inspire you for your own wedding day style. Enjoy!
