Sydney & Luke: June 1

Sydney and Luke got married last weekend at Millcreek Inn. Sydney chose chocolate and Tiffany blue as her colors (two of my favorites!), and we used all white flowers for all of the floral designs. I think this might be one of my favorite weddings ever! Sydney wanted a loose and natural bouquet with peonies, ranunculus, roses, freesia, sweet pea and mini callas. We added some fern curls in to tie in the chocolate. The bridesmaids all carried bouquets of white peonies wrapped in chocolate satin.

For the ceremony, we lined the aisle with white and cream rose petals and we tied small rose clutch bouquets on every other row using chocolate satin and thin Tiffany blue satin. We hung strands of white orchids (silk) from the back of the altar area and scattered rose petals.

Each table had a grouping of 3 vases: A tall vase with white peonies and 2 fern curls, a medium vase with white tulips and a small vase with white roses. All of the vases had a chocolate ribbon with a thin stripe of blue ribbon.

Sydney's idea for the guestbook display was also super chic--we used 2 large fishbowls on bases--one with flowers and the other to hold the message cards from guests. (Sydney had beautiful stationary in her colors too--a great touch!) Then we had 3 smaller fishbowls with flowers.

What a great combination of colors and flowers! (And can I tell you how good it all smelled on the way up Millcreek!!) I can't wait to see the images from Jonathan Canlas !! (If you haven't seen his work, be sure to take a look! It is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!)

Jayson & Victoria: June 2

Jayson and Victoria are close friends of mine and asked me to do their wedding flowers. Victoria wanted to use purple and white roses with black accents. Jayson (a huge fan of fishing) had one request: that we have fish in the centerpieces. They wanted something casual and simple, but unique. This is what we came up with!

June 2: Rose Sachs Gardens

Leslie is one of the most amazing brides I've worked with! She had everything pretty much planned out when we first met back in February---so I can't take any credit for her great ideas! She chose green, brown and cream as her colors and wanted a very natural, simple style. We used green hydrangea, white ranunculus and mini callas in the wooden box centerpieces. Leslie found really cute paper for the paper cones which we placed green hydrangea in and placed on the aisle and on the railings. We decorated each of the cupcakes with a single mint leaf (don't they look yummy?!). For the boutonnieres, we used millet and variegated pittosporum. The bouquets were creamy calla lilies, with the bridesmaids wrapped in aspidistra leaf.

Meghan and Brandon

Here are a few more of the pictures I took at Meghan and Brandon's reception on May 12 at the Point...(not as good as Brody's, that's for sure!)

October Weddings

I am completely behind on blogging! Here are some images from October weddings--lots of orange, deep red and fall textures. I just love fall weddings because there are so many neat textures to work with--especially fall foliage, chocolate cosmos, fiddlehead fern curls, hypericum berries, and seeded eucalyptus. We paired all of these great textures with sunflowers, roses, dahlias and calla lilies in rich fall colors. One of the brides chose a very rustic theme for her centerpieces, so we used pumpkins with flowers in the top ---perfect for October!

Blue Hydrangea

Heather and Ben's wedding was so unique and so blue! They chose black and blue as their colors. We used shades of blue hydrangea in the bouquets, centerpieces and cake. The boutonnieres and corsages were made with blue tweedia. My favorite part? It's a tie between the hanging hydrangea pomanders that were placed above the cake table and the ribbon/picture gallery we set up behind the wishes table...

Seashells!

I loved this wedding because it was so unique and fun! The bride chose a tropical theme and used hot pink, orange and green flowers with sand and seashells. (Check out the shells in her bouquet!)

Angie chose a Biedermeier (or bullseye) style bouquet for her wedding on May 25. I love the soft lavender, yellow and pink together! She also chose very simple but unique centerpieces---groupings of glass vases with a variety of flowers. Each table was different which made the room look full of flowers.
