The Design Co.: A bloomin' arrangement in Ottawa - Ottawa Citizen

Evermore Weddings and Events near Almonte, Stonefields Heritage Farm south of Carleton Place, and Temple’s Sugar Bush in Lanark County. Dressy linens, smart chairs and days-gone-by charm typify such spots.Whatever your taste in venues, she says to first add up the number of guests to make sure the location can actually accommodate them.Price says there are a number of other wedding trends that people tying the knot should be aware of. Matchy, matchy bridesmaids dresses, for instance, are giving way to gowns in the same hue but different styles. During the ceremony, the wedding party no longer has to gather around the couple with groomsmen on one side and bridesmaids on the other, thereby putting an end to the military-like arrays that typified your parents’ nuptials.As to colour, watch for more purple flowers in 2016, florist Erin Carmichael says. Large classic white blooms are always in fashion, too. MIV PhotographyWhat hasn’t changed over the decades is the minimal role the groom usually plays in planning his own wedding, a fact to which most men don’t actually object. The opinion of the groom is sought on food, venue and music, says Price, but, “our boss that day is that person in the big white dress.”Also unchanging: the skyrocketing cost of weddings. A recent reader survey by Weddingbells and Mariage Québec magazines pegged the expected cost in 2015 of an average Canadian wedding including honeymoon at $30,717.And if you think you can shave costs by, for example, holding the entire event at the family’s beloved lakeside property, think again, according to Price — unless, that is, your folks own a rental company (think dishware for all those guests), a catering business, a, well, you get the picture. She notes that her company works with a minimum budget of $40,000.The team behind Ottawa’s Design Co. MIV PhotographyA final word to brides-to-be: don’t get your garters in a knot if you haven’t a clue about what sort of wedding you want. Says Carmichael, “A lot of time they don’t (know) so then Stacey and I have the freedom to create something for them based on their personality and style. I love it!”Few aspects of a wedding are as important as photography.

Longtime CEO of Wedel’s Nursery remembered for love of faith, family, fishing and flowers - mlive.com

Andy Wedel said.He shared his love for plants and flowers in every way he could think of, his son said. He helped found the Michigan Certified Nurseryman Program in 1980. And he also spent 42 years on the air for WKZO 590 AM, delivering “Over the Garden Fence” on Saturday mornings.George Wedel picked up the mic from father Harley Wedel in 1963, before passing it to Andy Wedel 15 years ago. One of Southwest Michigan’s longest-running radio shows, it has stayed in the family in a similar way the nursery and garden center has, Andy Wedel said.Four generations of Wedels have put their hard work, sweat and love into the business Harley Wedel started more than seven decades ago. George Wedel was the company’s longest leader, though, the family says. His wife of 61 years, Joyce Wedel, who survives George, was also involved for many years in running the family business.Related: Sunny weather provides Kalamazoo-area gardeners respite amid coronavirus outbreakAll three of George Wedel’s children, including daughter Bonnie Russell, work there. He also has three grandchildren who work for Wedel’s. His brother Roger Wedel, now the last surviving child of Harley Wedel’s four children, is also still involved in the business, Schwartz said.That only scratches the surface of cousins, aunts and uncles who work at the nursery, now located in Texas Township, as well as the family’s farm and other related businesses, she said.Who will take over the business with George Wedel now gone is unknown, Schwartz said. But one thing is for certain — it will stay in the family.Known for his joy of bringing people together for picnics and BBQs on Sunday afternoons, George Wedel also loved fishing and the Detroit Tigers — his two biggest passions outside of his faith and love for plants, his children said.Each year, he would look forward to trips to Drummond Island to go perch fishing, Lake Erie to fish for walleye and an annual trip to Detroit for a ballgame, Schwartz said. Andy Wedel recalled trips to the South Haven pier as a child to catch perch.In addition to fishing, Andy Wedel recalled growing up in “gardens so big a child could get lost in” them and “Detroit Tiger baseball blaring over the little AM radio sitting out on the post.”“I think he has been part of making this county more beautiful,” Schwartz said. “All the trees, shrubs and plants that have been put in all over Kalamazoo County. Our business is 74 years old, just think how many things have been planted around here.“He had a work ethic was like no other and it’s really just why I feel our business has survived and done so well.”A visitation for Wedel will take place from 3-6 p.m. Sunday, June 28, at Country Christian Evangelical Free Church, 9286 36th St. in Scotts. The funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Monday, June 29, at the church.
