Carnations Have Feelings Too

Posted February 17th, 2010 | 8:30 am | By Roseanne Dela Rosa | 7 Comments

Yesterday I had the oddest conversation with a florist. She had mentioned that, and I quote, “I would NEVER put a carnation in a wedding bouquet.” Immediately taken back, I thought to myself, hmm, now what’s wrong with carnations? Sure they’ve gotten a bad rap over the last few years and they’re not exactly my fave flower either, but I didn’t think they were THAT horrendous and NEVER is such a strong word. Well, hoping to prove her wrong, I made it my mission (I love challenges like these!) to find beautiful arrangements and inspiration filled with nothing but CARNATIONS! And, just as I imagined, I found some really amazing ideas. If you’re not a huge carnation fan, maybe these three finds will sway you over–and hopefully it will sway our little florist friend over too. Enjoy!

See?! Purple carnations paired with greenery is so elegant.

I’m sad to say that all the beautiful work that Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes did for us is coming to an end. The six sketches that they created for us last week were amazing. And, today I’m going to end with another one of their gorgeous ideas. Inspired by origami both Tina and Diana set out to create something very reminiscent of Japanese culture.

I am in LOVE with these sketches. To me, they simply scream Hawaii. Both the dress and the cake are simple yet elegant and definitely have that destination vibe going on. What do you think? Would you wear this or have this type of confection for your wedding day?

Paris anyone? I’m really loving the romantic sweep of this gown. And the fleur-de-lys embellishment on the cake. Everything is soooo je ne sais quoi!

I was going to save this surprise for last, but I’ve never been good at containing my surprises, so I thought I might as well share my favourite sketch sooner rather than later. Today’s drawing epitomizes a glamorous Torontonian bride. Both Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes opted to go very Canadiana with this one by adding leaf embellishments to the dress and the cake. Love it!

Yesterday we unveiled gorgeous sketches of a Grecian-themed gown and cake (by Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes). With today’s drawings I want to see if you can guess which location was the inspiration behind this beautiful gown and pretty confection.

Don’t have your cake or dress picked out yet? Well, for those of you still on the hunt for those special elements, this week’s blog posts are going to blow your mind away. A few weeks back I contacted Tina Cho from Partina Atelier and Diana Shin from Papillon Cakes about working on a “special” collaboration exclusive to this blog. The idea was to work together and sketch out a matching cake and dress design–inspired by a specific destination. The result? Well, let’s just say I nearly knocked Jenn down with joy when the sketches arrived in my inbox. The talented pair had sent over 6 gorgeous and inspiring designs for you ladies to fawn over. Today I am revealing their “Greece” inspired wedding gown and confection. Aren’t the olive leaf embellishments beautiful? Let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas and if there’s a specific destination-inspired gown or cake that you’re looking for.

FYI: make sure to come back every day this week to see a newly revealed sketch from Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes.

As I write you this blog, I kid you not, I am most likely surrounded by dozens and dozens of cakes. Yes, it’s our major week for cakes and flowers (I’m hoping to have some ‘behind-the-scenes’ images to share with you). But, in the meantime, I’ll let you feast your eyes on these amazing confections by Allyson Meredith and Bobbette & Belle. From mini-treats to luxurious cakes (I’ve included over 20 cake examples–couldn’t pick a fave), I’m sure you’ll find a sweet to your liking. Enjoy!
