We recently had the pleasure of revamping the courtyard space outside the Jewel Ballroom for the wedding of Ari & Eva. The couple dreamed of having their ceremony in a lush garden, but as the reception was at Jewel they didn’t want to have their guests travel between too many locations.Greenscape was called in to convert the existing courtyard into a vibrant and wondrous garden, while also creating an intimate and private environment shielded from the busy West 8th and Granville intersection.It took over 100 bushes, 15 trees and countless greenery pieces for groundcover but we were able to create a complete transformation.

Check out the before and after photos below!

     

    

Most people don’t consider how they will look in the room when choosing their wall, flooring and décor colours.  The same is true for planning an event or wedding.It is important to choose a colour palette that is complimentary to the guest of honour. Flattering colours add brightness to the skin and bring out the colour of the hair and eyes, whereas unbecoming colours can drain colour from the skin causing it to appear sallow or unhealthy.

Blue eyes glow when surrounded by purple and lavender tints, and brunettes look great in orange, while natural blondes do well with neutral backgrounds that aren’t overpowering.  Warm complexions will look best in colours with the same undertones.

Try incorporating complementary colours in accent pieces, floral arrangements, linens or pipe and drape for something unique and eye catching. Experiment with using one colour, but in different hues throughout the space.  Colour needs to move and shouldn’t look like it’s landed.

Knowing your best colours will help you look your best!  Not only wearing the right colours, but surrounding yourself with the right colours in your home or on your special day can help you do just that!
