Thinking of summer while blanketed in snow? Here is some locally grown, organic inspiration!
Jenn and Jay’s wedding from late August was on of my faves! Jenn’s bouquet featured dreamy white cosmos and dahlias, zinnias, and asters, with touches of scented herbs. The bridesmaids posies were in playful, bright colours, starring the fun-loving zinnias.
Zinnias are becoming a summer favourite of mine. Their playfulness and range of colours adds a charming touch to summer bouquets. Throughout the summer, I mixed them dahlias, sunflowers, celosias, calendulas, herbs, and the many types of amaranth that grow so well in our area. An old-fashioned garden flower, zinnias are a wonderful addition to a vintage theme, or they make a splash of fun at an outdoor event.
After a fresh fall of snow, hot weather seems so far off, but looking at these bouquets, we are reminded of the warmth and colour that summer in Ontario brings. My growers will soon be sending their planting lists, and they’re not afraid to experiment with new varieties, so it’s always exciting to see new possibilities for summer and fall weddings. And the anticipation begins!
