Kendell and Alana September Wedding 2014

We had so much fun creating the sunflower bouquets, bouts and corsages for Kendell and Alana's wedding.  They are so bright and cheery.  Can't help but smile when you look at them.  The following photos taken by Lindsay Rae Photography, unless otherwise noted, provides a glimpse of their special day.

August 2013 Wedding

Melanie contacted us via e-mail after finding us by searching the internet.  We conversed throughout the winter, sending photos and ideas back and forth.  By the end of the winter we pretty much had figured out what flowers would fit into their colour scheme.
Melanie, Emile and their Mom's came out to the farm a couple of weeks prior to the wedding and toured the gardens.  They finalized the flowers they liked and what would work for the bout's, bouquets and centrepieces.  Throughout our walk in the gardens Emile kept commenting how much he liked the Sunflowers and wanted a boutonniere made with a Sunflower.  So we made a small bouquet of sunflowers, just for Emile, and delivered it along with the wedding flowers.



The Boutonniere's consisted of Gomphrena, Sedum, Juncus grass, Baby's Breath and Stock.


The flowers ready for delivery.
We needed a lot of soft pink flowers for this wedding, as you can see.   We ended up cutting flowers the morning of the wedding, before we headed off to the market, in the light of dawn.  We were able to find enough flowers that were ready for picking that morning to finish off the mason jar centrepieces.  That's cutting it close!


The blue mason jars consisted of Dahlias, Cosmos, Sweet Peas, Bell's of Ireland, Zinnias, Frosted Explosion Grass and Queen Anne's Lace.  We delivered and set up the centrepieces.


Notice the playdough for the children on the chairs.


My daughter Mandy, helped me set up the flowers at the wedding venue and took a few photos with our point and shoot camera.


Once the flowers were on the tables they really transformed the room.



Lots of details.

We created a flower crown for the flower girl and she carried a basket of flower petals. 



Stunning!!!


I love this photo!


Thank you for choosing Mistik Acres to be part of your wedding Melanie & Emile!

Fall already????

October already....we have been really behind in posts this summer.  It was an incredibly busy summer for us, but I did take photos throughout the summer of the blooms and wedding flowers etc., so will do a recap for next few months of what went on at the farm.
But as of now we are cleaning up the gardens.  Everything froze, or most everything, so we can start the cleanup, seed saving and bulb and tuber saving.  We are also processing the tomato crop into salsa, sauce, tomato jam and canned tomatoes.  The horseradish digging has also started and as I write Pat is at the sink peeling the horseradish root so he can grind it to pack in jars.

Ranunculus
Had a great crop this year.  Will try again next year
and hope the weather will cooperate again.


                                      
Assorted bouquets for the market

Elk near the yard.  This is a rare sighting as we hardly ever see
them up close.


Love this photo!  The Delphinium harvest.
Along with Max the resident dog.

The birds have pretty much all left the farm now.  We have Northern Flickers, Robins, Doves, Hawks, and the birds that stay around all winter.  We have been taking daily bike rides to the slough about a mile from here with Max.  There is a pair of beavers that have taken up residence and we take a daily run to checkout what they are doing.  
We are at the Saskatoon Farmers Market this weekend and the tables will be overflowing once again.  There will be Horseradish, Salsa, made with ingredients grown on our soil, dried herbs, pumpkins, squash, hot peppers, dried flowers, a few succulents and thirteen different colours of Asiatic Lily bulbs that are ready for planting.  Fall is the best time of year for bulb planting.

Cardoon bloom.  First year they have ever produced a bud and they have not succumbed to the frost.
