back attack.

Aaand I’m back. I apologize for the hiatus; things have been a little crazy around the shop lately. Here’s a little montage of the last couple of weeks…

Lo’s bday!

Magnoliaaaaa!

Lovely bags by the even lovelier Sam of Post Grad Haircut. We sell them!

There. Now you’re all caught up.

eco wedding.

This weekend, we did a really neat, completely sustainable, wedding. The bride wanted to be able to take apart the bouquets at the end of the day and give away all her flowers to be either replanted or dried.

IT’S ALIVE!!!

Pretty cool, huh?

I really couldn’t ask for a lovelier walk to work.

hello, Havana.

Psst…

I can’t even properly express how happy I am with the new layout.

night walk.

Autumn nights in Vancouver… drink wine, wander down to the beach, dorkily stop to point out flowers while my friends shake their heads at me, climb trees, take photos.

my favourite toque.

Lola & Tyler.

tree bells is Frenglish for très belles.

ps – I put up photos of this week’s flowers. They’re purdy.

woodsy wonderland.

Lo and I spent all morning jumping up and down with excitement over this foresty wedding. Half of what ended up in the arrangements came from Lo’s backyard – we’re getting to be expert foragers. The wedding was held at Aberthau House in West Point Grey – a 100-year old Tudor style mansion now used as the neighbourhood’s community centre.

The bridal bouquet had scabiosa pods, dusty miller, spray roses, weigela, heuchera, antique hydrangea, helleborus, dahlias, and roses.

The centerpieces were succulent and local moss terrariums.

So friggin’ cool! Look inside for a fungal surprise…

So adorable, oh my goodness. Lo seriously outdid herself with this wedding; it’s probably our favourite one yet.

Moss terrariums + garden flowers + muted tones = Celsia heaven.

once wed.

A few weeks ago, we did a gorgeous low key dockside wedding at Jericho Beach.

I love the blue-grays of the ocean sky married with the pink and mauve flora.

Don’t you?

rivers and roads.

As promised…

Arrangement I made for a birthday order over the weekend with decorative kale, lisianthus, mini green & peegee hydrangeas, ornithogalum, and cymbidium orchids. Green and white seems to be a rather popular colour scheme these days.

In other news, Chelsea and I are going to see one of my favourite new bands at The Biltmore tonight. They’re called The Head and The Heart, and you should absolutely go buy their debut, self-titled album immediately. Their songs are full of warm, haunting vocals and melodies that strip you bare, all sprinkled with just a hint of twang.

Ah, be still my heart.
