An Elegant Modern take on Jewel-Toned Wedding Flowers

Transforming Jewel Toned Wedding Flowers into Something Tasteful

When I used to think of jewel toned flowers, my mind would go to emerald green, ruby red, purple and blue. I remember seeing it in wedding aesthetics that were more moody, dark, and saturated. 

When my bride asked me to use this colour palette for her Fall wedding, I wanted to make it lighter, delicate but still bold and awesome. 

Keeping bold and bright but with elegance and lightness

For Jeannie's bridal bouquet, I kept the hot pink and deep purple undertones but softened it with light pink, nude, and periwinkle. Since her bridesmaids already had green and blue dresses, I didn't need to use heavy greens. I let the hot pink ranunculus and rose be the predominant colour paired with airy flowers like delphinium to give it movement and lightness. Everybody could not stop talking about her bouquet and despite the overcast day, she shone like a beauty. 

Leveraging natural elements of a restaurant wedding venue 

When you live in a city like Toronto, Boston, New York, there are so many restaurants that are also available as a wedding venue. This can be a great option because you can leverage off a few big things - delicious food, top notch interior decor, and intimacy. Some restaurants in Toronto I would want to have my wedding include Canoe, SARA, Archeo! If your guests having a good time and good food are important to you on your wedding day, you will want to check out these restaurant wedding venues! 

Jeannie and AJ originally planned for their ceremony on the patio outside the restaurant but due to rain, we moved it inside on this velvet wine red couch that matched perfectly with the jewel-tone palette. Then for the reception, we did an easy flip and repurposed it by the bar stool. 

Happy wedding day Jeannie and AJ!
