Our crazy month is ahead :)

So August is approaching, we are closed for the first week between vacation and getting ready for the Toronto gift show it is going to be a bit crazy but hopefully fun and relaxing too. My husband and I have 2 children, Iris age 10 and Cal age 8 so our holidays have to be sometime in the summer. Their favourite thing to do is camp ! that is simple enough so we take a few weeks each summer and Lord willing - we go camping.
This months vacation time has has been interrupted a bit with the gift show. I have been a few times to check it out but this 2010 show we are collaborating with the dried flower & branch company Vyn Flowers  They have exceptional product however it can be hard to see where it fit's into your home. If you are like me you may remember your mothers or grandmothers country broom stick swag hanging on the wall or door.. this is what we will be trying to erase from your memory. So, we will be creating a couple vignettes and new theme lines to help with that vision.
LOTS OF WORK! - we are also going to create a Christmas scene for each line. I have got to drag my Christmas tree out of the basement storage.. I wonder if Ed will let me keep it up from now till January??? LOL
So fresh flowers are always on my mind, we have been writing quotes for August, September October and November.
In August we have 9 weddings booked over 3 weeks - as I am on vacation from the 1st - 9th.

We had some beautiful weddings these last few weeks I'll share some pics below.
One of our weddings we actually made up 2 bouquet for the bride to choose from. I'll post them below and you can guess what one she picked - the other one ended up being her LOVELY toss bouquet !





As I had mentioned in my last  post we have seen a lot of gerbera, check out the bouquets below!



Hot pink was huge this month along with vibrant colours, below we have deep purple bouquets of lysitahus and flower balls of Hot pink carnations with a softer toss bouquet for some lucky brides :)


In place at the Ancaster Old Mill

Purple in its glory:)

The last for now, the toss bouquet.

I'll have to tell you about our anniversary party for Lorna .. but that is another story .. Like hammy hamster use to say :)

Thanks for reading!
