(La La Land) Wedding Dreams Come to Life
We highly recommend Alina and team at Flowers Time to help dream up the flowers and décor for your wedding or upcoming event! We were referred to Alina by our wedding planning team, Fidan (Designed Dream). Alina is very passionate about her work and incredibly creative! - It is demonstrated so vibrantly in her projects.
At our first meeting we introduced our wedding theme inspiration, the movie La La Land, and she took that away with ideas from our inspiration board to come up with a truly beautiful dreamscape. She was so excited by the challenge and was quick to start drawing up ideas about how to incorporate our theme. We could tell that she is a master of her craft, her experience and artistic influences were so apparent from the way she was describing her initial thoughts. The excitement was contagious! By our final meeting, Alina had watched the movie to draw out more ideas and together with Fidan, collaborated to tell us how they would incorporate the vision. Our centrepiece sample was stunning, beyond what we were hoping for and discussed – a beautiful arrangement of purple tones, a hint of blush, white, and greenery, a tribute to the magical sunsets portrayed in the movie, atop stunning golden stands.
We weren’t quite sure how the final décor and flowers would be set up, but we were sure it was going to be amazing; she described visions of romantic candles, lampposts, stars - an outdoor landscape with flowers surrounding our sweetheart table. A few days before our wedding, Alina took the time to phone me to check-in on my thoughts for my bridal bouquet. I thought this was very thoughtful as I hadn’t quite decided how I wanted it to be (more white / less white, no colour / lots of colour, etc). She was sweet to give me her recommendation and I fully put my trust in her expertise.
The morning of our wedding, our Lead Coordinator, Carly (Designed Dream) arrived with our bouquets which did not disappoint; they were absolutely beautiful! My bridesmaids loved them, and so did I! It was like a carefully thought out smaller version of our centrepiece, which really complimented my gorgeous girls and their dresses and the overall feeling of the day. It was so fun to have such pretty florals, I didn’t realize how much I loved fresh flowers especially in bloom in the spring.
Our ceremony was held at a church and we celebrated with 2 majestic floral stands by the front to frame us, just as discussed. It was so beautiful just enough to amp up our ceremony space, in a simply elegant refined way. Once we arrived at the venue for our reception, we had our room reveal lead by Fidan (see our reaction on Designed Dream’s Instagram!) and we could not believe just how spectacular it all came together. The room was beyond gorgeous, the magical romantic ambiance set by lampposts/candles were so stunningly set among the beautiful delicate flowers. It was like a dreamy garden inspired by La La Land. Also really loved the beautiful choice of overlay and linens, detailed lace with gold sequins which was stunning and complimented the details in my dress so perfectly.
We received so many positive comments on the amazing experience our family and friends had on our day - without a doubt, the romantic magic of the flowers and décor that made up all the fantastic intricate details of our dream wedding played a key factor. Thank you so very much from the bottom of our hearts to Alina and everyone at Flowers Time for your love and care in curating such wonderful gorgeous details for us on our special day. xoxo, Cristina and Patrick
