Wedding flowers might be delicate by nature, but their impact? Massive. They bring texture, colour, movement – and sometimes even a little scent-induced nostalgia – to your celebration. Whether you’re dreaming of a soft, romantic garden vibe or a sleek studio soirée, your floral choices set the tone.
But with endless options blooming in every direction, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. That’s why we’re highlighting two gorgeous editorial shoots featuring talented pros who know their way around petals and placement to showcase floral styling that works beautifully for both indoor and outdoor weddings. Think of it as your first peek at what’s possible – then let your imagination grow wild.
Indoor weddings
This editorial shoot, captured by Antonina Klein and Inka Taurus Photography and organized in collaboration with luxury event planner Paula Holt of The Memory Vine, seamlessly blends modern elegance with warm accent hues to craft an unforgettable event for a contemporary couple. Situated in Toronto’s vibrant Junction neighbourhood, Studio 05, a unique sunlit studio with custom fixtures, skylights and modern design elements, provided the perfect backdrop for the occasion.
The bride wore Rue de Seine’s Cora gown, adorned with delicately embroidered colourful wedding floral designs, from Loversland, a bridal boutique specializing in effortlessly chic modern silhouettes. To complement the bride’s warm-toned ceremony ensemble, the groom wore a cappuccino-coloured suit from Andrew’s Formals.
Maya Tsur Floral Design and Bare & Co. collaborated masterfully to curate the wedding flowers and candles for the ceremony and reception, creating a cohesive and bespoke design. Maya Tsur’s asymmetrical floral arrangements provided a luxurious backdrop for the ceremony, perfectly complementing the bride’s embroidered dress. Bare & Co.’s candles set the mood with warm lighting for the event.
The tableware from NAYOS featured clean lines, ribbed glassware, brass silverware and smooth finishes, aligning with the editorial’s warm yet minimal colour palette.
NAYOS’s handblown ribbed, floral champagne coupes added a unique element to the reception’s tablescape and the couple’s champagne toast. Paper Palette artfully crafted the stationery for the event, allowing for stunning flat lays and providing the finishing touch to the tablescape.
Concluding the celebration were the cake and desserts by dearDeer Baking and Pastry Lab. dearDeer decorated the cake with textured and colourful decorations that added a distinctive element to the dessert. Adding to the charm, dearDeer crafted edible glass grapes, a delightful and unique detail for the event.

Outdoor weddings
The soft, romantic peach and green colour palette was woven throughout the wedding’s design, from the delicate wedding flower arrangements to the elegantly styled tablescape.
This shoot, which Rachel Baskin, the owner of Regina-based Baskin Creative Co., a boutique, fine art wedding and portrait photography studio, has coined “You Are Perfect for Me”; it’s a celebration of romance, artistry and collaboration. Set in the beautiful hotel courtyard of The Sandman Hotel & Suites in Regina, with its manicured lawns, lush greenery and beautifully landscaped flower gardens, every element was carefully curated to inspire modern couples who dream of a refined, elegant and naturally romantic wedding.
The wedding flower concept was built around the idea of soft garden romance with a refined, modern edge. The floral design was expertly put together by Candace of Rose And Vines Florals, who masterfully captured that air of soft romance and natural elegance in her design. We used a curated palette of blush, peach, soft apricot, creamy whites and whispery greens to evoke a sense of timeless beauty and feminine allure and grace while maintaining a fresh yet refined and editorial feel. The wedding flower arrangements featured a delicate blend of classically beautiful and elegant, lush and full of movement, overflowing with breathtaking premium blooms, including:
- Caramel and Peach “Apple” Carnations
- White Dahlias and Delphiniums
- Peach and Butterfly Ranunculus
- Phoenix, Spray and Charity Roses
- Gambia – to add some texture and visual appeal
- Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus
- Ruscus Italy – to add to the lush greenery of the floral arrangements
When it came to the centrepieces, our goal was to create an immersive design that felt lush, layered and effortlessly elegant. The floral runner ran uninterrupted for the full length of the table, almost like a floral meadow rising from the linen-draped table. We complemented the wedding flowers with soft ivory twisted tapered candles in glass vessels woven throughout to add height, dimension and a romantic glow that would transition beautifully from day to dusk. Every arrangement was created to feel intentional yet freeform – luxurious, but never stiff. We wanted the overall feel to be airy and organic, designed to mimic the natural beauty of an outdoor setting while still feeling elevated and editorial. It was the perfect balance of romance and sophistication.
