The morning started with the picking up of flowers that were done by Mayfair Flowers http://www.mayfairflowershop.com/ in Westshore Center.We dropped off the pink gerber daisy bouquets to the bride. After giving Adam’s dad a quick tutorial on how to pin on Boutonnierres the boys were ready to head to the chapel.  Brad from Fetching Images http://www.gofetching.com/index2.php#/home/ followed the couple around all day and took some amazing photos for us of the decor.

After a beautiful ceremony at UVic the guests enjoyed the sunshine outside the Chapel before heading to the Reception site. The reception was held at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel with a bright pink magenta color to compliment the white wedding. Magenta pink is very popular this year and the sash color is stunning. 

We used our brand new Pink Magenta rose balls to decorate the ceremony chairs complimented with a white aisle runner and magenta petals. Marina and Adam had two arrangements on white pillars at the front of the aisle to mark the alter. The great thing about these pillars and arrangements are that we transport them to the reception venue after the ceremony is over and put them at each end of the headtable. You get two uses out of them!

The reception was decorated with chair covers, magenta sashes and the centrepieces were pink gerber daisies on mirrors with some bling scattered around on the guest tables. 

It was a pleasure to decorate for Marina and Adam’s wedding.

“I absolutely LOVED all the decorations and flowers! The flowers were soooooo beautiful and perfect!! The pink chair sashes were a perfect match to the girls dresses! The chapel looked so beautiful. Thank you sooooo much for all your hard work and beautiful flowers and decorations!! Thanks again so much for everything! Marina ”

We work with some amazing florists in town who create amazing centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, pew markers, and anything you may dream of that include flowers. Check out Tara at Flowers by Tara: http://www.flowersbytarra.com/

It is amazing how fast and early vendors are booking up for next year already. Whether it is a photographer, DJ, or Justice of Peace.

Details is already fully booked for a few weekends in the summer. It is very exciting and Sandy and Anira will sure be busy busy next year :)

Details is now booking full-planning, partial planning and day-of packages. As well as just decor for those who have their weddings all planned but need decorations provided. The great thing about hiring Details as your decorating company is that they come in either the day before or the morning of your wedding, set everything up including decor, flowers, favors, and everything in between, and then come in the middle of the night after last call to collect all their things. You don’t need to worry about anything.

Blogging is still a little new to us here at Details but something we will be working on improving for our next season
