Hello! Here at The Camellia, we are excited to be taking part in the Thunder Bay Wedding Show, which will take place this Sunday, March 2nd. 2014 at the Victoria Inn, in Thunder Bay, from 11-4p.
How many of you use Pinterest to get ideas for your Wedding? And what about all those Wedding magazines with fabulous displays of masses of Flowers? All this leads to ...I want THIS ( pointing to what is easily a $1,500 display on 1 corner of a gazebo) for my Wedding!! Notice they never pin the cost of those elaborate displays? I overheard someone saying the other day ( a Bride-to-be) .."but it's only Flowers, how can they cost so much?"
There is a lot that goes into the growing of Flowers and foilage, and then the transporting of these perishable products from the growers to You! Take a look at the production of foilages on this Florida operation:
Yes, if you lived in Holland, and you run over to your neighbour down the street that grows Hortensia ( Hydrangeas), then your Wedding Flowers would be a breeze!
For most of us here in Thunder Bay, our Fresh flowers have travelled a long way to get here.
Look at the size of these Hydrangea blooms! ... as seen on a visit to Holland.
As for the Tulips in Holland, they are spectacular.
And the prices of cut Flowers in Holland are a lot less, as they grow the flowers, no transport costs. We'll blog about that another day.
Here at The Camellia, our speciality is Faux-Botanical Bouquets.
They won't wilt or crush, you can get them in hard-to-find colours, they are great for people that are allergic to pollen, flowers and sometimes foilages. ( Who wants to have to use an Epi-pen on their Wedding Day?) Not. And you get to keep them in a vase long after your Wedding Day.
They hold up well in Snow, faux Botanicals make perfect sense for cold, Winter days, like today, minus 40 something with the wind chill.
This Bouquet was for a September Wedding.
And if you want Fresh bouquets, we can do also .
And this was a beautiful May Wedding...

Here are Kimberly's comments:
Camille went
beyond and above my expectations. I absolutely loved the bouquets and
boutounierres she did up and my bridesmaids were so impressed! Camille took
my ideas and the end product was better than I could have asked for.
The tulips and little wooden shoes were such a special touch! I love
that I have my bouquet as a keepsake. I would highly recommend Camille's
work to any bride looking for something amazing for her special day.

Ps.
The flowers you used in my bouquet are amazing and even more special
that they are from Holland. I had a ton of compliments that they had no
idea they were silk!!
