Sacha + Martin

Sacha and Martin came to Halfyard Designs a few months ago with no colour scheme. They wanted whimsical, fun, different and colourful. When they came to my office, we played around with different overlays, sashes, vases, colours! It was so much fun and we came up with the perfect colour palette for what they were looking for. Overlays of green with hot pink runners, hot pink and red rose petal aisle and the tower vases of phaleonopsis orchids were simple but very effective. Once again, the Brock House Restaurant made for a beautiful setting. No pics of the bridal bouquet, but my favourite photographer, Barbara Casey of I Do Wedding Photography, was there for the day, so once we'll post those once we get them!



Salomeh + Jacob

Salomeh and Jacob decided on black, white and yellow for their theme. Halfyard Designs had so much fun working with these colours as they are not colours you would normally see put together! This is just a small taste of what Sally and Jacob had on their day at the Brock House Restaurant.


Nat + Sat

In July, Nat and Sat got married and Halfyard Designs was there to be a part of it. They were such a cool, non-traditional couple, opting for a pewter dress, pewter and purple centerpieces and my all time favourite, natural arch draped in 75 feet of pearls! Just lovely! These are the shots captured by Studio Jeanie at their Stanley Pavilion ceremony and reception of 200 people!



Jen + Andrew

Waaay back in June, Halfyard Designs did the flowers and decor for a beautiful couple! They were so much fun and really had great taste! Jen and Andrew chose shades of dark pink, some soft pink and white to go with their Carribean Blue bridesmaid dresses! How fun! The ceremony took place at the always fabulous Brock House Restaurant and the reception at the new Kirin Restaurant at the Starlight Casino in New West, where we brought in artificial, but realistic looking cherry blossom trees, all lit with hot pink up lighting. These are the photos of the flowers and decor captured so beautifully by Jenn Best Photography. Thank you Jen and Andrew for choosing me to be a part of your day!

Sarah + Sim

Every year you go through different popular colour schemes. Last year Halfyard Designs worked on so many white and green weddings that we forgot there were other colours on the colour wheel! But it made for an interesting challenge to make each wedding unique and special to each client.

This year, however, people have been choosing 
more colour. So, when Sarah came to us with her white, green and chocolate brown colour palette for her Brock House Restaurant wedding, we thought, no sweat! We had plenty of practice last year. But, last year was all about clean lines, classic, simple, etc, etc... Sarah was looking for a "West Coast" feel, with ferns, lots of greenery and gras
ses. So this is the result of what we came up with. It is one of my personal favorites of the year! Thank you Sarah and Sim for choosing Halfyard Designs to create this Whimsical Woodland!

Said computer software/hardware giant!

This is the 'wedding' Halfyard Designs had the absolute pleasure of working on! It was so much fun as you will see for yourself!

Here is the concept for the 'ceremony', a beautiful, bright and natural feel. Loving all the willow! 
















































































Flower girls ideas!

Now, recently, Halfyard Designs had a very exciting venture come across them. It was a photo shoot for an internationally known computer software/hardware giant! Basically, I was given a colour scheme and basic idea of what they wanted and awaaaay we go!

This is an idea that Halfyard Designs came up with for a flower girl. When a bride is looking for a new idea to give her ceremony a different flair, this is what her flower girl can carry! It was so much fun to make!
