Winter Wedding at the Fairmont

Winter Wedding at the Fairmont

For their winter wedding at the Fairmont Hotel, Theodora and John imagined a palette of delicate textures, wintry whites, golds and grays. To start the day, Theodora’s parents send her this lovely arrangement in whites and blush pinks. Winter has some of the best flowers available (surprising!), and so we gathered a mix of peonies, lilac, and ranunculus accented with dusty miller and styled in a birch bark covered container.

Theodora’s bouquet featured classic white and ivory flowers. The bouquet was designed ivory garden roses, roses, ranunculus, stock, and delicate spray allium for a snowy-inspired touch.

As guests arrived at the site, they were greeted with an expressive design of tall curly willow branches springing from a collar of white hydrangea ringing the neck of the vase. The design was finished with white dendrobium orchids nested in the branches to create a wintry bloomed look. Cocktail tables held a mix small square vases with pave designs of ivory roses and more textured designs of white hydrangea, roses, stock, and dusty miller.

The tall reception arrangements were positioned in the Colonnade to create both a backdrop of winter branches and a focal point of white snowy designs of massed baby’s breath.

The reception tables featured a mix of three complimentary designs. Tall fluted glass vases held ethereal yet impressive designs of baby’s breath. Tall cylinder vases held curly willow branches stemming from a collar of white hydrangea, with white orchids nested in the upper branches. Finally, frosted cylinder vases held wintry designs of hydrangea, stock, roses, spray roses, and spray allium accented with silver brunea pods and dusty miller.

Oh how we love a room shot…

Don’t get us wrong! Give us all the delicious little flower close-ups. We want to see every ruffly petal and perfect place setting.

But then BACK UP!

Because this is the moment we’ve been thinking about all along. How do those centerpieces fill the room? Where does your eye go first? Do the tall pieces actually feel tall beneath a 20-foot ceiling? 

Does the whole thing have rhythm?

Seeing all of those individual pieces finally come together into one beautiful room never, ever gets old.

Twenty-plus years in and we still get a little giddy about it.
