May17 Best Dressed by Oliver and Lilly’s 2013

With the summer wedding and event season kicking off, and just in time for the long weekend, we’re bringing you a few favorites from Oliver and Lilly’s in South Granville. This locally owned shoppe has long been a go-to of ours for stylish unique dresses. The shoppe owner, Leighann, selected the below items in store now and shares with you her tips on making a style statement this event season. Read on and enjoy!

1. Designer – Heidi Merrick – Hiver dress
“This is an exceptional piece. Designed by one of our favorite designers, Heidi Merrick. The Hiver dress tells it’s own story. So keep hair and accessories understated. Think nude sandals and beachy waves. Maybe throw in a pink lip, just ‘cuz.”

2. Designer Velvet – Karlee Dress
“When the invite says ‘All White Attire ’, this VELVET dress is right on point. ”

Dresses and clutch available at Oliver and Lillys.

3. Designer A.P.C. – Hearts Dress
“Sweet and cheerful. The little hearts on this A.P.C. dress will help spread the love. Even cheerier with a fuchsia pump.”

4. Designer Clare Vivier – foldover gold clutch.

For every event, especially a wedding. No one wants to lug around a big handbag, so opt for a Clare Vivier clutch, they are an effortlessly chic way to store your necessities (phone, cards, lipstick and vintage handkerchief to dab those happy wedding tears).”

May04 A Flower Recipe 2013

Ever wonder what goes into those crazy beautiful botanical floral arrangements you love? How they are designed to look as if they grew in the garden that way – beautiful and lush? I did and so I’ve been spending time at Celsia Florist learning and creating.

Last week we designed this botanical arrangement, filled with favourites like peonies, ranunculus, matricaria chamomilla and roses all set in a pedestal bowl. It’s perfect for Mother’s Day brunch and you can see the recipe below! Order this Spread Love favourite up from Celsia Florist for Mom in time for Mother’s Day, or visit their gallery to view more of their designs. Enjoy!

May03 Mother’s Day Brunch 2013

I love brunch. The time between breakfast and lunch where you can serve up something sweet like lemon blueberry pankcakes and decorate the table. Brunch doesn’t need to be fancy, but a few simple details can make it special.

With Mother’s Day around the corner, we teamed up with Celsia Florist and Gucio Photography and set the table at our studio for a simple and elegant brunch, complete with a garden inspired floral arrangement and a little something for mom.

Growing up our Mother’s Day traditions included an early breakfast in bed adorn with fresh cut flowers from the garden. The older I get, the more I appreciate my Mom. I hope you feel that way about yours too and that this inspires you to plan something special.

Apr29 Spring Flowers 2013

If you follow along with us on instagram you may have noticed an abundance of florals. I’ve been spending time in the shop with the team at Celsia Florist recently, playing with flowers and learning new things. Spring has been good to us and we’ve had an abundance of poppies, peonies, tulips and ranunculus to design with. Flower heaven for me!

Last Friday Christie stopped by for a visit and captured a picture of this brightly hued and fun arrangement we made. It’s wild, bright and beautifully fragrant. I love Spring!
