WEDDINGS 2023

No matter what your style or story, almost every coastal wedding is illuminated by nature. The forest and the ocean are the setting, the backdrop, the flavours, and much more.

Learn how to make the most of this stunning region, in planning your special day.

Choose flowers that will last

Shawna Graham • Chrysalis Flowers & Gifts

Quote:

“It’s not just the ceremony - your flowers need to last through the photos and the reception, and some brides like to send them home with guests, too. Consider the weather, and what it will take to care for your flowers on the day.”

Use a variety of shades and textures to help bouquets stand out in photos.

Shawna’s big tip:

Book your package early enough to make sure you get what you want. Make the flowers meaningful for you. Some couples bring in heirlooms or objects to be integrated into the bouquets; some want flowers or plants from their own or relatives’ gardens. Some want flowers that are grown far away, or aren’t in season. Everything is possible - just book in advance.
