Celebrating Nature and Outdoors
Imagining a celebration at the Butler Ranch is envisioning a juncture where two lovers honour nature. For Michaela and Tristyn, this is home. Their celebration not only encapsulated the beauty of the Canadian West but also embodied their love for the outdoors and the ranch's animals. Every detail, from the decor to the menu, was a homage to the earth and its creatures.
Crafted from the Earth: A Bouquet of Love and Sustainability
In today's sustainability-driven era, Michaela's wedding bouquet is a prime example of an eco-conscious celebration. Crafted with love, it embraced nature's beauty and gave back to the environment with care and appreciation. Sourced from local flower farms for the freshest, most exquisite blooms, including Dutch tulips, paid homage to Michaela's family roots, adding a sentimental touch to honour her ancestors respectfully. The bouquets exuded a rustic elegance that was perfectly fitting for a curated country fair vibe.
The Significance of a Bloom
The flowers were more than a mere accessory for this thoughtful day. With the couple's love for nature and the reverence for the land they chose to marry, it was important to consider where the flowers came from and honour the hand and love of our Alberta growers. Each bloom became a symbol of a love that grows, a love that is fostered and nurtured, much like the very blooms that adorned each bouquet. We designed the bouquets to honour the farming background of the groom. We sourced local grains like wheat and other naive grasses to be included in our design. The intentional inclusion of textures was completed with the addition of sea holly, nigella, phlox and scabiosa, and the use of the Panda anemone with their pretty blue/black textural centers. These bouquets were a nod to the couple's love for nature, a story of celebration for sustainable choices and meaningful gestures that make a wedding day special. Our hope is this wedding can inspire other couples to incorporate personal touches and embrace nature; It was a signature expression of a day where every little detail was a story in itself, a story worth preserving.
