Grace Ormonde Tabletop Shoot | Bella Signature Design

I remember Daniela, of Bella Signature Design, telling us of the difficulties that came up for them in driving from Seattle to create a table for this event. They couldn't bring their flowers up across the border and had to source them out here, being very short on time, it was quite stressful. But they pulled it off. Their table was bright and beautiful with unique details and stunning linens. Her inspiration given by the Grace Ormonde team was a 'cultural wedding', which was made even more perfect with Daniela's ‘modern lush’ design aesthetic.

Big thanks again to Reine for inviting us to shoot alongside her, which is always a fabulous day of learning and laughing.

Grace Ormonde Tabletop Shoot | Colin Upright

This table was very different from the others. Moving over to the Fours Seasons, this was set up in front of the beautiful buddha in the lobby. Designed by Colin Upright, Jace was there to help with all the perfect flowery details. It was all very zen... even Grace said it was one of her favorites!

Grace Ormonde Tabletop Shoot | Hilary Miles

This was another incredible table at the Grace Ormonde Shoot with Reine Mihtla. The current edition is featuring some of Vancouver's top vendors, this table being one of them. The flowers were done by Hilary Miles, the styling by Simon Cooksley. Gorgeous... and that doesn't begin to describe the fragrance coming from this exquisite creation.

Grace Ormonde Tabletop Shoot | CountDown Events

When Reine Mihtla (Reine Weddings) asked me to assist at the Grace Ormonde shoot at the Vancouver Club, I was so excited because shooting with Reine is always so much fun, and I knew that Vancouver's top vendors were going to be there. All the tables were over the top stunning, and Soha's, from Countdown Events, was no exception.

This was my first time meeting Soha. My first impression: organized, creative, gorgeous, accomplished, elegant, an expert in what she does... and she pulls it all off in such a calm, collected way. The more time I spent with her, the more I liked her. The first table she designed, as shown below, was rich and deep in color... red roses and purple lilacs, deep burgundy calas... so very striking and glamorous. The other,  a complete contrast in soft pinks and creams, I can't show until it's published in a future edition of Grace Ormonde Wedding Style.
